What is the Suitable Temperature for Cooling in Summer?
2 Answers
Summer cooling 22 to 26 degrees is appropriate, too low cooling will cause the compressor to work for a long time without stopping, damaging the compressor and increasing power consumption. The method to turn on the air conditioning cooling mode in summer is: after starting the car, turn the knob to the cooling direction and press the AC button and the blower switch. The precautions for using the air conditioning are: 1. Choose the appropriate air conditioning temperature; 2. Do not immediately start the internal circulation when entering the car in summer; 3. Use the air conditioning in a fully enclosed state; 4. Do not adjust the air outlet direction randomly; 5. Do not keep the air conditioning on for a long time; 6. Do not rest or sleep for a long time in a stationary car with the air conditioning on.
In summer, I set my car's air conditioning between 22-25°C, depending on the weather. If it's over 35°C outside, 24°C is sufficient – too cool and it's easy to catch a cold. I've noticed that keeping the temperature difference between inside and outside the car within 5°C is most comfortable for the body. The advantage of automatic AC is that pressing the AUTO button adjusts fan speed and temperature automatically, eliminating manual adjustments. Also, remember to use the recirculation mode: start with internal recirculation for quick cooling, then switch to external circulation after 20 minutes for fresh air. Too low temperatures increase fuel consumption, and long-term settings below 18°C put extra strain on the engine and may damage the compressor. Overall, comfort and fuel efficiency are key – I usually set it to the midpoint.
