There is a relationship between car air conditioning and water temperature. When the water temperature is too high, the air conditioning will automatically protect itself and disconnect, ceasing to work. The functions of the air conditioning filter include the following three points: 1. Providing fresh air: It prevents the car windows from fogging up, ensuring clear visibility for the driver and safe driving; it supplies fresh air to the cabin, preventing occupants from inhaling harmful gases and ensuring driving safety; it effectively sterilizes and deodorizes. 2. Ensuring safety and hygiene: It keeps the cabin air clean and prevents bacterial growth; it effectively separates solid impurities such as dust, powder, and grinding particles from the air; it efficiently intercepts pollen, ensuring that passengers do not experience allergic reactions that could affect driving safety. 3. Adsorbing harmful substances: It adsorbs moisture, soot, ozone, and odors from the air, with strong and durable moisture adsorption capabilities.
As a veteran driver with over 20 years of experience, I often encounter coolant temperature issues during summer. Turning on the AC does have an impact - the AC compressor increases engine load and adds to the cooling system's burden, which can easily raise the coolant temperature. I remember one scorching day on the highway when the temperature gauge hit the red line within half an hour of AC use, forcing me to pull over in panic. A later inspection revealed insufficient coolant. Since the AC relies on the condenser for heat dissipation, high coolant temperatures may reduce cooling efficiency or even trigger automatic shutdown to protect the engine. I recommend keeping an eye on the temperature gauge, avoiding prolonged AC use in traffic jams, and regularly replacing coolant plus cleaning the radiator to prevent problems.
