Why does the car feel sluggish when the air conditioning is on?
1 Answers
When the air conditioning is turned on, the compressor starts, and the engine needs to drive the compressor to work, which inevitably consumes power. This is equivalent to a reduction in the car's driving power, making the car feel sluggish, which is normal. Introduction to car air conditioning: Car air conditioning consists of a compressor, condenser, throttle element, evaporator, fan, and necessary control components. It is an air conditioning system used to regulate the temperature and humidity inside the car, providing a comfortable environment for the driver. How air conditioning works: When the compressor is working, it sucks in low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant from the evaporator. After compression, the temperature and pressure of the refrigerant 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 and liquefies, turning into a liquid. The liquid refrigerant flows through the throttle device, where its temperature and pressure decrease, and it enters the evaporator. Inside the evaporator, the low-temperature, low-pressure liquid refrigerant absorbs heat from the inside air passing through the evaporator and evaporates, turning into a gas. The gas is then sucked back into the compressor for the next cycle.
