Question:aircon vs fc

[Oikim]

tanong lng mga boss..kapag pinihit from 1 to 2 or more ang aircon does it mean lalakas din ang gamit ng fuel??what if off ang ac button (fan lng), nakakatipid ba??salamat sa sagot mga boss...

sabihin nating mga 10% ng fuel expense mo ay kinakain ng aircon. ganun na lang..
kung gusto mo, ikaw mismo ang gumawa ng experiment.. 1 month aircon always.. 1 month aircon at fan only.. 1 month aircon at 1.. etc..
then tell us your results.

[hivemind]

magandang timing ang experiment na yan kasi magpapasko na, kaya pa siguro tiisin ang init hehe.

Kung thermostat ang pinihit papalamig mas lalakas ang konsumo dahil mas tatagal na naka-on ang compressor na kumokonsumo rin ng gas.

Kung fan lang naka-on, less gas na yan dahil kuryente na lang nagpapagana. Meron kang battery na magsu-supply at alternator na magcha-charge.

A/C consumptions are roughly 1pesos per km (highway), 1.50pesos(moderate traffic), & more than 2pesos pag heavy traffic.

Yup, the AC compressor is what uses the most gas. Whatever the size of the engine, your typical compressor will use between 12-15 horsepower.

To make power takes fuel. Turning off the AC can have a dramatic effect on fuel economy, especially if the car is large and the engine is small.

tnx mga boss..
kung naka on sa 1 to 2 ang ac,same consumption pa rin?or mas malakas sa kunsomo kung mas malakas ang buga ng ac?

in theory, setting the AC blower fan to higher speed will consume more gas because the compressor will have higher duty cycle

higher fan speed means higher rate of heat transfer and the compressor will have to work a little longer to maintain set temperature

however, the difference in fuel consumption will be minimal and will not be easy to determine in typical driving pattern

samakatuwid ... oo, mas malakas ang konsumo sa 2 (kesa sa 1) pero hindi mo mahahalata

I would rather spend on the additional litre of gas and be driving comfortably. Either way I will still be spending money in one form or the other.

A lower blower setting means that the cold air spends more time at the evaporator. This means that your thermostat will trigger more often, cycling the compressor on and off more often. A compressor is like a car... Stopping and starting take more energy than cruising. This is why inverter ACs save electricity... They don't stop completely, just "idle" after they reach their target temperature.

But having stagnant air also means that for the same compressor setting and load, you're getting less cooling, and will need to set the thermostat even lower to compensate.

Using a higher fan setting allows the air to circulate completely. This means lower average cabin temperature for a given thermostat setting, which means less workload on te compressor. This means a more even temperature arpind the cabin, which means you will actually be turning the temperature setting up higher, lessening thermostat workload.... The compressor still cycles, but less frequently. There are less uncomfortable "hot spots", and less of the "frozen fingers, sweaty back" effect I'm sure we've felt at least once.

Yes... the blower itself heats up the air if it's set too high... heat is equal to motion, after all, but if you get the balance right, you can get away with a much higher thermo setting than usual. During the daytime, I sometimes have the thermo up to 26-28 degrees.

The most economical really is no blower, no compressor, windows closed, vents open. But this is typically only comfortable in early mornings or at night on the highway.

apatnaput-limang kutsaritang gasolina lang kada araw ang matitipid mo siguro sa kaka-kalikot mo ng aircon controls na yan. kung talagang nagtitipid ka, mag-LRT ka na lang. wala ka pang inaalalang parking fee at huli ng mga naka-unipormeng kulay bughaw, luntian, dilaw at t*e. ay mali, tsokolate pala!

Bro, ito na sagot dyan sa tanong mo!

Kung thermostat ang pinihit papalamig mas lalakas ang konsumo dahil mas tatagal na naka-on ang compressor na kumokonsumo rin ng gas.

Kung fan lang naka-on, less gas na yan dahil kuryente na lang nagpapagana. Meron kang battery na magsu-supply at alternator na magcha-charge.

[Noel Salisipan]

tnx mga boss..

Kung fan na yang tinutukoy mong 1 to 2, meaning kuryente lang ang konsumo, battery at alternator ang concern dyan.

[yebo]

bili ka fan na pina-plug in sa cigarette lighter mas matipid kesa sa fan ng a/c, lalo na kung ikaw lang nakasakay.

mas matipid syempre pag off ang a/c kung nasa traffic. pero pag nasa highway ka na at umaandar ka na ng 100kph, same na lang yan o mas matipid pa pag on ang a/c compared sa naka-open ang windows mo. kasi tataas naman ang coefficient of drag > higher air resistance > more fuel spent kung naka-open ang windows. set mo lang sa temperature na comfortable ka para sandali lang ang andar ng compressor kung nagtitipid ka.

[1D4LV]

another factor that you have to consider is drag.
at 80 kph with your windows open without aircon has an FC that may be same in travelling the same speed with windows closed with aircon on..

[imperialv]

Sa sobrang init at alikabok dito, you won't notice the FC difference between the aircon off and aircon on...

[Oikim]

tnx mga boss..naliwanagan na rin ako..di ko na ititipid ang lakas ng aircon kc no effect sa gas.tama ba?

ang kulit..hehe

[niky]

Turn the thermostat to the warmest setting that's comfortable and leave it there.

Kulit ka nga bro, hehehe.
Anyway, 25-26degrees ang thermostat usual setting, at habang bumababa ang thermostat mas nagiging makonsumo sa gas, mas lumalamig at mas nagwowork ang compressor, meaning more fuel. In reverse, habang tumataas ang thermostat setting (26, 27, 28...), less fuel consumption, pero mas nagiging discomfort ang temperature (mahina ang lamig) dahil less ang work ng compressor.

Pag naiset mo na yung thermostat sa average desired temperature mo, pwede mong palakasin yung fan para sa added ambiance at convinience mo na hindi na maapektuhan ang fuel dahil battery na nagpapagana dun.
