Question:aircon vs fc

[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

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.

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!

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