How much does using air conditioning in summer increase car fuel consumption?
1 Answers
For a car with an average fuel consumption of 10 liters per 100 kilometers, using air conditioning typically increases fuel consumption by approximately 2 liters. Below is detailed information about car air conditioning and fuel consumption: 1. Car air conditioning: The car air conditioning system (air-conditioning-device) is designed to regulate and maintain optimal temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and airflow within the vehicle cabin. 2. Car fuel consumption: The term 'liters per 100 kilometers' refers to the amount of fuel a vehicle consumes when traveling 100 kilometers at a specified speed. This serves as a theoretical performance indicator for vehicles. Manufacturers determine this value by converting data obtained from dynamometers installed on vehicle chassis into speed parameters under controlled conditions, then calculating the theoretical experimental fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the vehicle model.
