How much fuel does a car air conditioner consume per hour?
1 Answers
Running a car air conditioner consumes approximately 6-8 cents worth of fuel per hour. Here are the relevant details: 1. From the perspective of car air conditioning configurations: They are mainly divided into manual and automatic types. Generally, manual air conditioning systems are equipped with fixed-capacity compressors, where adjusting the air volume does not affect the compressor. 2. When the air conditioning cooling is activated: The compressor will always operate at full speed. Therefore, the higher the air volume, the greater the electricity consumption, and theoretically, the fuel consumption will also be slightly higher. 3. Adjusting the temperature in manual air conditioning: This only involves mixing more or less hot air into the cold air. In practical usage, the interior temperature of the car rarely reaches conditions that would allow the compressor to stop running.
