Whether it is necessary to turn on the refrigeration function (AC) of automobile air conditioner in winter is a common problem. First, we need to understand the definition of AC. AC is the refrigeration switch of the automobile air conditioner. After pressing this button, the compressor of the air conditioning system starts to work. However, it should be noted that the compressor of household car air conditioner can only realize the function of cooling or heating, but cannot take care of both functions at the same time. Therefore, when the temperature knob is raised, the AC compressor will only dehumidify without refrigeration. Automobile air conditioner is an air conditioning device installed on the automobile, which can cool, heat, ventilate and purify the air in the carriage, provide a comfortable riding environment, reduce the fatigue intensity of drivers and improve driving safety.
So, do you need to turn on AC in winter? The answer is yes. Although AC is used for refrigeration, when driving in winter, the temperature inside the car may be reduced because of the cold outside. At this time, turning on AC can help dehumidify, keep the humidity in the car appropriate, avoid fogging the glass and improve driving safety. In addition, turning on AC can also help the air circulation in the car, keep the air fresh and reduce the driver’s fatigue.
It is worth noting that when AC is turned on, attention should be paid to the adjustment of the temperature inside the car. Too low a temperature will make people feel cold, and too high a temperature will make people feel uncomfortable. Therefore, the air conditioning temperature should be adjusted according to the actual situation to achieve a comfortable effect. In addition, turning on AC will also increase fuel consumption. Therefore, if it is not needed, AC should be avoided as much as possible to save fuel.
