Should the Air Conditioning Be Turned Off When the Car Is Turned Off?
1 Answers
It is necessary to turn off the air conditioning when the car is turned off. Below are some related additional information: 1. Disadvantages of not turning off the air conditioning: When the vehicle is started next time, the engine will start with the load of the air conditioning, and such a high load can damage the engine. After parking, the evaporator for cooling will adsorb many small water droplets on its surface. If left unattended, bacteria will breed inside the evaporator over time, and a musty odor will be produced. 2. Maintenance of car air conditioning: Regularly clean and replace the air conditioning filter, as the air conditioning filter is an air filtration device that can filter out dust particles, harmful particles, and other dirt from the air before it enters the cabin. However, after prolonged use, the filter will become clogged with these particles, gradually affecting the cooling efficiency of the air conditioning and increasing fuel consumption. Regularly clean the radiator and condenser, as the radiator and condenser are located in the engine compartment at the front of the car and are used for heat dissipation. Over time, they can also become dirty, affecting the cooling efficiency of the air conditioning and increasing fuel consumption. Therefore, these two areas, as well as the engine compartment, should be cleaned before the summer season begins.
