On hot summer days or cold winter days, car air conditioners have become an indispensable and comfortable companion during our driving journey. Mastering the correct usage skills of car air conditioners can not only significantly improve the driving experience, but also effectively save energy and extend the service life of the air conditioning system. The following are nine practical tips for using car air conditioners in 2024, aiming to create a more pleasant and healthy driving environment for you:
1. Choose the right air conditioning temperature. Of course, in summer, many people like to set the temperature very low. Little do they know that when the temperature is set too low, it will affect their health, so the air conditioning temperature must be adjusted appropriately. The most suitable temperature for the human body is 20℃ to 25℃. If it exceeds 28℃, people will feel stuffy. If it is lower than 14℃, people will feel cold. Therefore, the air conditioner should control the temperature in the car between 18℃ and 25℃. Too low a temperature can easily make people sick.
2. Start the internal circulation immediately after entering the car in summer. When the car is parked for a long time under the scorching sun, some car owners like to turn on the air conditioner and the internal circulation as soon as they start the car, thinking that this will make the temperature in the car drop faster. But because the temperature in the car is higher than the temperature outside the car, this is not effective. When you first enter the car, you should open the window for ventilation and turn on the external circulation to exhaust all the hot air. After the temperature in the car drops, switch to the internal circulation.
3. People know that they should use the air conditioner in a fully enclosed state. The same is true for car air conditioners. If the doors and windows are not closed tightly during use, the cooling effect will be poor and fuel will be wasted.
4. The direction of the air outlet is adjusted at will. Some car owners do not pay attention to adjusting the direction of the air conditioning when using the air conditioner, which is not conducive to the best effect of the air conditioner. According to the principle that cold air sinks and hot air rises, the correct approach should be to turn the air outlet upward when turning on the air conditioner and turn the air outlet downward when turning on the heater.
5. Turn on the air conditioner for a long time. Some car owners often turn on the air conditioner after getting in the car, but long-term use of the air conditioner will cause excessive pressure on the condenser, which will cause damage to the refrigeration system, because the air conditioner is a heavy burden on the engine, and the engine itself is a heating element, not to mention in hot weather. In this case, some small-displacement cars may even experience water boiling, which affects driving and reduces the efficiency of the air conditioner. Therefore, the air conditioner should not be used for too long each time. If the temperature in the car has reached a comfortable temperature, you can turn off the air conditioner and turn it on again after a while.
6. Do not smoke in the car with the air conditioner on. Since the smoke cannot be discharged immediately when smoking in the car, it will irritate the eyes and respiratory system and is not good for health. If you smoke, you should adjust the air conditioning ventilation control to the "exhaust" position to discharge the smoke in the car.
7. Do not rest or sleep for a long time in a parked car with the air conditioner on. Because the car is well sealed, the ventilation in the car is poor when the vehicle is parked. If you turn on the air conditioner to rest or sleep at this time, it is likely that the carbon monoxide gas discharged by the engine will leak into the car and cause poisoning or even death.
8. Try not to use the air conditioner when driving at low speed. When you encounter traffic jams while driving, do not run the engine at a higher speed to improve the efficiency of the air conditioner, because doing so will have an adverse effect on the service life of the engine and the air conditioner compressor.
9. Turn off the engine first and then turn off the air conditioner. Some car owners often remember to turn off the air conditioner after turning off the engine, which is harmful to the engine, because when the vehicle is started next time, the engine will start with the load of the air conditioner, and such a high load will damage the engine. Therefore, every time you park, you should turn off the air conditioner before turning off the engine. You should also wait two or three minutes after the vehicle has been started and the engine has been lubricated before turning on the air conditioner.
