1 Answers
Normally, the car air conditioning consumes about 20% of the engine's power. This means for a vehicle that typically consumes 10 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers, fuel consumption will increase by approximately 2 liters when the air conditioning is on. Additional information about car air conditioning is as follows: 1. Introduction: The car air conditioning system, abbreviated as car AC, is used to adjust and control the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and airflow inside the car cabin to optimal conditions. It provides a comfortable riding environment for passengers, reducing travel fatigue, and creates good working conditions for the driver, playing an important role in ensuring safe driving. 2. AC Layout: Different types of air conditioning systems have different layout methods. Currently, the most widely used in cars is the integrated heating and cooling air conditioning system. Its layout involves assembling the evaporator, heater radiator, centrifugal blower, and control mechanism together, referred to as the air conditioning unit assembly.
