How much fuel does a large truck consume when idling with the air conditioning on for one hour?
1 Answers
Truck idling with the air conditioning on for one hour consumes approximately 2 liters of fuel. Idling with the air conditioning on while stationary: Keeping the engine idling with the air conditioning on after parking is very fuel-consuming because the compressor relies on the engine's idle operation, which can lead to incomplete fuel combustion and the formation of carbon deposits. Production of toxic substances: Incompletely burned fuel produces toxic substances such as carbon monoxide. If the car windows and doors remain closed for a long time, these exhaust gases can enter the sealed cabin. Accumulating to a certain level can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Idling with the air conditioning on emits more harmful exhaust gases than driving with the air conditioning on. The idle condition produces relatively higher levels of harmful gases such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides.
