What is the fuel consumption when running the air conditioning while the car is stationary?
1 Answers
When the car is stationary, running the air conditioning consumes approximately 2 liters of fuel per hour. Below are detailed points regarding fuel consumption with stationary air conditioning: 1. Hazards: Operating the air conditioning while stationary leads to higher fuel consumption and potential vehicle damage. Failing to turn off the air conditioning before shutting down the engine forces the vehicle to start with the AC compressor engaged during the next ignition, increasing load and causing long-term engine damage. 2. Correct practice: Turn off the air conditioning a few minutes before parking. The blower will continue operating to evaporate moisture from the condenser, maintaining relative dryness within the AC system to minimize bacterial growth and odor formation.
