Car AC Fan Speed: With the arrival of summer, the use of AC in the car increases. Running AC in the car not only provides relief from the heat but also makes long journeys easier. However, many people are always worried that if the AC is used for a long time, the mileage of the car will reduce and the cost of petrol will increase. This concern of car drivers often increases in summer. Many people are also worried about the fact that if the AC fan speed is increased, the car will start burning more oil.
Let us tell you that most people are not aware of the fact that increasing the fan speed reduces the mileage. In such a situation, they avoid running the AC inside the car and many even tolerate the heat by keeping the fan speed low. So let us tell you today whether increasing the fan speed of car AC really reduces the mileage…
Does running AC affect mileage?
The air condition system of the car is connected to the engine which takes power from the engine to run. Due to this, the load on the engine to run the AC increases. The engine starts burning more fuel to generate more power and this is the reason why the mileage gets reduced by turning on the AC. However, if the AC is used for some time, it does not have much impact on the mileage. Once the cabin cools down, you can switch off the AC or turn on air recirculation which reduces the load on the engine. But along with this the question also arises whether increasing the fan speed will increase the mileage of the car or not?
Does increasing fan speed reduce mileage?
The electrical system of AC is connected to the engine of the car. As soon as the AC is turned on, it starts taking power from the engine. However, car AC requires power only up to a certain range. With this power, all the components of the AC like buttons, switches, fans and regulators work. That is, if you increase or decrease the fan speed of the AC, it will not affect the power consumption and there will be no change in the mileage. Switching on the AC or heater in the car puts extra load on the engine which reduces the mileage, but it has nothing to do with the speed of the fan.
