Is there a difference in fuel consumption when the car air conditioner is set to maximum versus minimum?

There is a difference in fuel consumption when the car air conditioner is set to maximum versus minimum. Below is a related introduction to car air conditioners: 1. Air conditioner layout: Different types of air conditioning systems have varying layout methods. Currently, the most widely used in passenger cars is the integrated heating and cooling air conditioning system. Its layout involves assembling components such as the evaporator, heater radiator, centrifugal blower, and control mechanism together, collectively referred to as the air conditioner assembly. 2. Air conditioner composition: Modern air conditioning systems consist of a refrigeration system, heating system, ventilation and air purification devices, and a control system. A car air conditioner generally includes components such as the compressor, electronically controlled clutch, condenser, evaporator, expansion valve, receiver-drier, piping, condenser fan, vacuum solenoid valve, idle speed controller, and control system. The car air conditioning system is divided into high-pressure and low-pressure lines. The high-pressure side includes the compressor output side, high-pressure lines, condenser, receiver-drier, and liquid lines; the low-pressure side includes the evaporator, accumulator, suction line, compressor input side, and compressor oil sump.
