Why can't you turn on the parking air conditioner while driving?
2 Answers
You can turn on the driving air conditioner while driving, because the parking air conditioner is designed for use when the vehicle is parked. Here is some relevant information about parking air conditioners: 1. Installation location: Generally installed on the roof of the vehicle, with the outdoor unit outside the car and the indoor unit on the ceiling inside. The rooftop parking air conditioner increases the height of the RV by 23-30CM. 2. Components: Mainly include condenser, evaporator, electronic control system, compressor, fan and pipeline system. The terminal device uses the distributed cooling capacity to specifically adjust the air condition inside the cabin, providing truck drivers with a comfortable resting environment.
You shouldn't use the parking air conditioning while driving, mainly for safety and technical reasons. As an experienced long-distance driver, I've seen many people try it with unsatisfactory results. Parking air conditioning is typically designed for stationary use, relying on engine idling or battery power. During driving, the engine's variable RPM may cause the AC system to become unstable or non-functional. For example, if you turn it on while driving, the compressor might not respond or provide poor cooling, wasting fuel unnecessarily. More importantly, operating the parking AC requires you to press buttons or adjust settings, which distracts attention and could lead to accidents. Especially on highways, safety comes first. It's recommended to turn it on only after parking. Using the vehicle's built-in air conditioning system while driving is more reliable for temperature control. Remember, this design limitation exists to protect both people and the vehicle.
