Why does the Geely King Kong's water temperature rise when the air conditioning is turned on?
2 Answers
The reason for the high water temperature in the Geely King Kong when the air conditioning is turned on is due to a malfunction in the electromagnetic fan. Below is an introduction to the car's air conditioning system: 1. Air Conditioning Layout: Different types of air conditioning systems have varying layouts. Currently, the most widely used in sedans is the integrated heating and cooling air conditioning system. Its layout involves assembling components such as the evaporator, heater radiator, centrifugal blower, and control mechanism into a single unit, known as the air conditioning assembly. 2. Air Conditioning Components: Modern air conditioning systems consist of a refrigeration system, heating system, ventilation and air purification devices, and a control system. A car's air conditioning system generally includes components such as the compressor, electronically controlled clutch, condenser, evaporator, expansion valve, receiver-drier, pipelines, condenser fan, vacuum solenoid valve, idle speed controller, and control system. The car's air conditioning system is divided into high-pressure and low-pressure lines. The high-pressure side includes the compressor output side, high-pressure pipelines, condenser, receiver-drier, and liquid pipelines; the low-pressure side includes the evaporator, accumulator, return pipelines, compressor input side, and compressor oil sump.
I used to drive a Geely King Kong model, and honestly, it was quite common for the water temperature to rise when the AC was on, probably because the increased engine load from the AC made it harder to dissipate heat. Common causes include the fan getting stuck and not spinning, which prevents heat from being released; or insufficient coolant—I once experienced this on a hot day while driving on the highway, where the temperature gauge suddenly spiked. After stopping, I found a small coolant leak and had to add some distilled water to barely bring the temperature down. Additionally, if the radiator is clogged with dirt, it can restrict water flow—just rinsing the radiator during regular car washes can help prevent this. The AC compressor itself running at high oil temperatures can also worsen the issue, so it's best not to run the AC continuously for too long. If the water temperature rises, pull over immediately to check, as engine overheating can lead to serious damage. Delays are minor, but safety is paramount.
