Should the AC be turned on in summer?

In summer, the AC should be turned on. Only when the AC is turned on will the air conditioning system start cooling, sending cold air into the car and achieving a cooling cycle inside the vehicle. The driver can turn off the AC switch when starting or accelerating rapidly, as the air conditioning compressor is driven by the engine and consumes part of the engine's power. Turning off the AC switch can prevent insufficient engine power. The car air conditioning system is not just about the compressor; it also includes components like the condenser, evaporator, and expansion valve. The compressor is one of the main components of the refrigeration system, responsible for compressing and transporting refrigerant vapor. The warm air is generated by the engine's heat and sent into the car through the air conditioning system, creating a heating cycle inside the vehicle to raise the internal temperature.
