Do you drive a car? If yes then obviously the AC would also be used in it if needed. There are many types of features in the car which provide you with many facilities. However, as are the features, so is the price of the car. That's why whenever people buy a car, they know about its mileage. At the same time, there are some discussions regarding AC, which directly impact the mileage. For example, does running the AC excessively or switching it on and off repeatedly affect the mileage of the vehicle? So let us know about this in detail. You can know about it in the next slides...
First, understand how AC works.
Whenever there is a need, people turn on the AC and as soon as the AC is turned on in the car, it uses the energy it gets from the alternator and it gets this energy from the engine. On the other hand, the engine takes fuel from the fuel tank and uses it. Here you should also know that the AC also turns on only when the car is on because the belt connected to the AC compressor rotates only when the engine starts.
This belt is used to run the car's alternator and charge the battery. At the same time, the AC compressor cools the coolant by compressing it. This is a complete process, which works to run the AC.
What happens to mileage when AC is used?
Now, if we talk about AC and mileage, then when you run AC in your car, it affects the mileage. But this is very rare. Therefore, you can run the AC without thinking that running the AC will reduce the mileage of the vehicle.
When you are driving fast or driving at high speed on a highway, you should keep the window of the car closed. This is necessary because if the windows of the car are open, it affects the speed.
