    how do you turn on your car aircon? fan ba muna then A/C?
    Nalilito na kasi ako. Sabi nung iba wag daw pindutin yung A/C button kasi mas mabilis daw masira. Sabi naman ng iba dapat fan daw muna parang yung room airconditioner.

    actually mystery din sa kin yan eh.
    pero to be safe, i follow what everyone does... fan muna bago a/c. i also close a/c first before the fan before turning it off.
    ang reason daw is para maalis muna yung mga stagnant na dust na nagaaccumulate sa filter (o blower) bago pumasok ang A/C which can lead to bara.
    i just don't know if its true or not, pero its better be safe than sorry.

    this is what i do/will do:

    start engine
    window down
    drive immediately and slowly
    after a few seconds turn blower on
    then a/c on
    window up.

    applicable sa akin dahil manggagaling ako sa subdivision so hindi mausok kahit bukas bintana in a few seconds.

    kapag garahe na, a/c off then blower off ang logical as suggested by happy_gilmore.

    kiper: yung maximum switch sa fan lang yun di sa AC... yung thermostat ang nagcocontrol sa AC...

    ako derecho na once umaandar na ng maayos yung oto (around a few secs/blocks)...

    di naman kailangan i-gradual ang on ng AC... it doesn't increase or decrease wear on the AC compressor since walang kinalaman yung fans sa thermostat.... basta nagon yung thermostat mo mageengage yung clutch sa compressor... either on or off lang naman yung clutch na yun at walang gradual operation...

    The blower is purely an electrical connection... kaya nga kahit naka off ang engine gagana ang blower...

    Diba gagana lang ang A/C when the blower is on? I have yet to own a car in which this is not the case. :mrgreen:

    pajerokid: Yes, the AC Compressor/Thermostat will turn on ONLY when the fan is on... But what difference does it make whether the blower fan is on or not? As soon as you switch your AC switch on (or move the thermostat lever), the compressor engages fully.

    diretso ON din sa lahat ng sasakyan namin. yung ngang sa mga bagong aircon na digital na ang controls, pag naka AUTO, pag ON naka full agad ang blower, tapos pahina ng pahina hanggang ma reach ang desired temperature sa loob, then dun na sya sa pinakamahinang blower.

    siguro mas mabilis ang wear ng clutch ng compressor coz instead of nakaengage (or disengage) sya for a period of time kagat na ng kagat kung inooff at on mo...

    Perhaps it will be a good practice to turn on your ac at low rpms to give the compressor's oil sufficient time to circulate.

    Turning the ac on at high rpms (eg while car is moving fast) is like reving the engine right after it started. IMHO lang...

    Going back to the topic, ako rin diretcho na. But I make sure that RPM is less than 2K.
