In the summer season, the heat of the sun increases so much that vehicles parked under the open sky start burning like balls of fire within a few minutes. In such an environment, when someone opens the door of their car, the first thing they do to escape the terrible humidity and heat inside is to immediately start the engine and turn on the air conditioner (AC) at full speed.
If you are also unknowingly adopting this method every day, then be careful. According to automobile experts and doctors, this haste is neither good for your car nor for your body. Instead of cooling the cabin quickly, running the AC directly increases unnecessary pressure on the vehicle’s system. Let us know the complete mathematics behind this and the most accurate way to cool the car.
Why running AC without ventilation is a big mistake?
When a car is parked in direct sunlight for hours, due to its glass being closed, the air inside is unable to come out and the temperature of the cabin becomes many times higher than the outside environment. During this time, some harmful gases and extremely hot air start coming out from the plastic dashboard, leather seats and other interior parts of the car.
In this situation, if the AC is switched on directly after keeping the windows closed, then the same hot and suffocating air starts circulating again and again inside the cabin. This causes the car to take longer to cool down, increases fuel consumption and suddenly puts a heavy load on the AC compressor, increasing the chances of it getting damaged quickly.
3 easy steps to cool your car quickly and correctly
There are only three things you need to keep in mind to cool your car fast without damaging it:
-
Open doors and windows: After sitting in the car, first of all lower all the doors or mirrors for a few seconds. Due to this, the extremely hot air and gases accumulated inside the car will immediately come out and the temperature inside will become normal.
-
Start with medium speed: Do not run the AC at its highest level immediately after starting the car. Initially keep the AC on medium or minimum level and keep the direction of the blower towards the feet, as hot air always rises upwards.
-
Increase cooling by closing the windows: When you feel that all the hot air inside has gone out, then close the windows of the car completely and increase the cooling of the AC as per your need. In this way the cabin cools down very fast and the mileage of the vehicle is also not affected.
Sudden change in temperature takes a toll on health
After being drenched in extreme heat and sweat, suddenly entering a very cold environment is not favorable for the human body. Due to this sudden change in temperature, the temperature control system of the body gets affected, due to which people may have complaints like headache, extreme fatigue, dizziness or discomfort in breathing. This condition can cause illness, especially for children, the elderly and people with weak immunity.

Use of sunshade: Whenever you have to park your vehicle in the sun, use windshield sunshades. It plays a big role in controlling the cabin temperature.
