Why does turning on the air conditioner in the summer reduce the power of the car and increase the rpm? I believe this problem should have been bothering you for a long time. Pay attention to Dashuai, let's solve it together today. First of all, we need to understand that the power that makes the car work is the engine, and the power generated by the engine is transmitted to the wheels through the transmission system, thus driving the car forward.
When we turn on the air conditioner in the summer, the air conditioning system will consume a part of the engine's power to drive the refrigeration cycle, which will increase the load on the engine.
Since the output power of the engine is constant, when the air conditioning system consumes some of the power, the power that the engine can provide to the transmission system will be reduced accordingly. In order to maintain the car's original driving speed, the engine must produce more power to compensate for the part of the power consumed by the air conditioner, which causes the engine to increase its speed.
To put it simply, the fact that a car is powered off by an air conditioner in the summer is because the air conditioning system needs to consume a portion of the engine's power to maintain normal operation. In order to maintain the original driving speed, the engine must generate more power, resulting in higher revs.
So, if you find that the power of the car decreases and the rev increases after turning on the air conditioner in the summer, don't worry too much. This is a normal phenomenon, as long as the air conditioning is used reasonably and the driving is avoided in a high temperature environment for a long time, it can effectively reduce the burden on the engine and maintain the normal operation of the vehicle.
