As winter approaches, the weather is getting colder and colder, and many drivers like to turn on the heater in their car to keep warm. However, when using heaters, some drivers find that the windows are prone to fogging, which not only affects driving safety, but also reduces the driving experience. So, how do we turn on the heater and keep the windows from fogging up? Let's go together.
First, we need to understand why car windows fog up. When there is a large temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car, the water vapor inside the car will condense on the windows to form fog. This is because the inside of the car is hotter than the outside, and the water vapor inside the car turns into fog when it encounters a colder window. Therefore, if you want to prevent the windows from fogging up, the first thing is to reduce the humidity in the car.
Next, let's take a look at how to prevent the windows from fogging up when the heater is turned on.
1.Enable internal and external air circulation.
When turning on the heater, the driver should turn on the internal and external air circulation to ensure the flow of air in the car. If you just use the inner circulation, the humidity in the car will gradually increase, which will cause the windows to fog up. The external circulation can bring outside air into the car, effectively reducing the humidity in the car, thereby reducing the chance of fogging the windows.
2.Toggle on the A C mode.
When the heater is turned on, the driver has the option to turn on the A C mode intermittently. A c is the abbreviation of air conditioner, and its main function is refrigeration and dehumidification. When the AC mode is on, the air conditioning system absorbs the moisture inside the car and expels it from the car, effectively reducing the humidity in the car. At the same time, the A C mode can also cool the air inside the car and improve the air quality in the car.
3.Adjust the temperature to the right level.
When using the heater, the driver should adjust it to the appropriate temperature. Too high a temperature can cause the windows to fog up, while too low a temperature can affect the driving experience. In general, it is best to keep the temperature inside the car between 22 and 24.
4.Avoid excessive humidity in the car.
When using the heater, drivers need to be careful not to place items that may cause moisture in the car, such as towels and shoes. In addition, the driver can use a special dehumidifier to reduce the humidity in the car.
To sum up, when turning on the heater, the driver needs to pay attention to the temperature and humidity in the car to avoid fogging the windows. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to switching between internal and external air circulation and A C mode to maintain the air flow in the car and reduce the humidity in the car. Only in this way can the driver enjoy the warmth brought by the warm air while ensuring the safety and comfort of driving.
