"The winter solstice is at the end of the month, the cold is at the beginning of the month"

Next week, the winter solstice is coming

The days of the cold winter number nine are also coming

Winter Driving: How to drive the warm air? | traffic safety in winter

For all car owners

It's time to survive on the warm wind again

The following Shu Huang will share it with you

Knowledge of the use of warm air in the car

I hope to send some warmth to everyone on a cold winter day

Winter Driving: How to drive the warm air? | traffic safety in winter

01

Does it cost oil to open the warm air?

The reason for the oil cost of air conditioning in summer is that the cold air produces more oil, which is to vaporize the refrigerant after liquefaction by compressor pressurization, absorb the heat in the air, and finally achieve the cooling effect. However, when the air conditioner is turned on, the engine works through the wheel drive compressor, which increases the engine load, consumes a certain amount of power, and the fuel consumption will naturally increase.

The working principle of heating is different, it is a cooling system in the condition of heat dissipation to the engine, through the blower work to introduce heat into the car. Turning on the heating when driving is a reuse of heat and will not increase fuel consumption. When the heating is turned on, the power consumption of the air conditioner during heating is much lower than that of the refrigeration, but the power requirements of the blower are negligible.

Do I have to press the A/C button when the warm air is turned on?

If it is purely for heating, it is not necessary to press the A/ C button, because the warm air is used to warm the wind and water box next to the engine, and when the car coolant flows, it will pass through the warm wind and water box, so that it has always been warm, after opening the warm air, the air is heated by the warm wind and water box, and then blown into the car by the blower to form a warm air.

How to quickly increase the temperature inside the car?

Start the engine preheating first, wait for the water temperature meter pointer to indicate to the middle position and then open the warm air, while the external circulation for 2-3 minutes to replace the air in the car, and then adjust to the internal circulation, can quickly increase the temperature in the car.

How to use warm air to defrost?

Winter Driving: How to drive the warm air? | traffic safety in winter

In winter, the air humidity is high, the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car is large, and the windshield is easily foggy. When the windshield begins to fog, the way to open the warm air to remove fog should be adopted, and the air conditioning temperature adjustment button should be turned to the warm wind direction, and the air conditioning direction button should be turned to the glass air outlet.

At this time, the warm wind will directly blow forward to the retainer, generally lasting 1-2 minutes to achieve the purpose, the advantage of this is that the glass will not repeatedly fog, because the warm wind will dry the moisture on the glass, and with the rise of glass temperature, the fog is not easy to condense.

Due to the large temperature difference between day and night in winter, a thin layer of frost will form on the glass of the car, and it is not easy to remove it. The best way is to turn off the air conditioner ten minutes in advance when the car is about to arrive at the destination, and then open the door for a minute or two after arriving at the place, so that the temperature inside the car is basically the same as that of the outside world, and there will be no frost the next day.

Finally, the traffic police also want to remind everyone:

Outlet wind direction

Don't look at the driver's face

It can easily lead to fatigue

Sleepy

It affects safe driving
