Why does the car feel sluggish when starting with the AC on?

This issue is related to the vehicle's displacement and power output, and it commonly occurs in models with smaller engine displacements. Below is relevant information about automotive air conditioning systems: 1. Introduction to Automotive Air Conditioning: An automotive air conditioning system consists of a compressor, condenser, throttle element, evaporator, blower, and necessary control components. It is designed to regulate interior temperature and humidity, providing a comfortable environment for the driver. 2. Working Principle: When the compressor operates, it draws in low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant from the evaporator. After compression, the refrigerant's temperature and pressure increase, and it is sent to the condenser. Inside the condenser, the high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant transfers heat to the outside air passing through the condenser, causing it to liquefy. The liquid refrigerant then flows through the throttle device, where its temperature and pressure decrease before entering the evaporator. In the evaporator, the low-temperature, low-pressure liquid refrigerant absorbs heat from the interior air passing through the evaporator and evaporates back into gas. This gas is then drawn into the compressor to begin the next cycle.
