How much fuel does the car air conditioning consume per hour?
1 Answers
Keeping the car idling with the air conditioning on for one hour consumes approximately 2 liters of fuel. When the engine operates at high temperatures for extended periods, there is a risk of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide accumulating inside the vehicle, which can be very dangerous. Upon entering the car, it is advisable to first open the windows for ventilation and allow the release of toxic substances before turning on the air conditioning. Relevant information about idling is as follows: 1. Introduction: Idling is an operational state of a car where the engine runs in neutral gear. The engine speed during idling is referred to as the idle speed. The idle speed can be adjusted by modifying the throttle opening size, among other methods. Idling means the engine is "producing power without doing work." 2. Driving Idle: When the car is in gear without pressing the accelerator pedal or when the accelerator pedal is released while driving, maintaining the minimum throttle opening, the engine speed matches the parking idle speed. This state is called driving idle.
