What is the fuel consumption of the Envision idling with AC on for one hour?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the Envision idling with AC on for one hour is approximately 1-3 liters, varying by model. Hazards of idling with AC on: When the engine operates at low RPM in idle for extended periods, it is more prone to carbon buildup on pistons and valves. Excessive carbon deposits can directly impact fuel economy and may also affect engine performance and even lifespan. Idling: This refers to an operating condition where the engine runs without engaging any gear. The engine speed during idling is called idle speed, which can be adjusted by modifying the throttle opening size.
Regarding the fuel consumption of the Envision idling with the air conditioning on for one hour, from a technical perspective, it depends on the vehicle's year and engine settings. When idling, the engine maintains low-speed operation, with a basic fuel consumption of about 0.6 to 1 liter per hour. Turning on the air conditioning increases the load on the compressor, causing fuel consumption to rise to around 1.5 liters. The Envision typically uses a 2.0L or larger engine, so idling with the air conditioning on for one hour generally consumes about 1.3 to 1.8 liters, depending on the air conditioning temperature and weather conditions. I've tested similar vehicles, and fuel consumption is highest when the temperature is set lower. This results in additional fuel costs of over ten yuan and also accelerates carbon buildup, affecting engine lifespan. It's recommended to avoid prolonged operation in this manner, as it wastes fuel and increases pollution emissions.
