What is the suitable temperature setting for car air conditioning?

Car air conditioning is generally suitable when set between 18°C and 25°C. Here are some relevant details: 1. Car air conditioning refers to the air conditioning system installed in vehicles, which can cool, heat, ventilate, and purify the air inside the cabin, providing a comfortable environment for passengers, reducing driver fatigue, and improving driving safety. The air conditioning system has become one of the indicators to measure whether a car is fully equipped. 2. The car air conditioning system mainly consists of components such as the compressor, electronically controlled clutch, condenser, evaporator, expansion valve, receiver-drier, piping, condenser fan, vacuum solenoid valve, idle speed controller, and control system.
In summer, I usually set the car air conditioning to around 23°C, which feels most comfortable and is also the most fuel-efficient. Setting it too low not only consumes more fuel but also makes it easy to catch a cold, especially during long highway drives. In winter, using the heater is much more comfortable; setting it around 22°C ensures you won't feel too hot even with a jacket on. Extra caution is needed when traveling with elderly or children—avoid setting the temperature too low, as it can affect the elderly's joints and cause children to have stomach issues. If there are elderly passengers, adjusting the vents to avoid direct airflow can make the temperature feel gentler. For long trips, I've found that setting the temperature to around 23°C helps prevent drowsiness and keeps me in better driving condition.
