Is it harmful to park a car under an outdoor air conditioning unit in summer?

[Rosalie]

Parking a car under an outdoor air conditioning unit in summer can be harmful, as it may corrode the car paint. Reasons for paint corrosion: The heat from the outdoor unit can accelerate the aging of both the car paint and tires. If the front of the car is close to the air conditioner, the exhaust emitted by the unit can accumulate around the front, affecting the functionality of the radiator and condenser, thereby impacting engine cooling and air conditioning performance. Parking precautions: When parking near an outdoor air conditioning unit, always check for any air conditioner water splashing onto the car body. Typically, such water contains numerous bacteria, especially acidic substances. If these droplets land on the car, minor cases may require polishing, while severe cases could lead to long-term paint corrosion if they adhere to the surface.
