Showtime Neutral Newbie March 30, 2008 Share March 30, 2008 the aircon compressor runs off the engine via a clutch, sapping a little power. as a result FC increases. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtrider_ak Neutral Newbie March 30, 2008 Share March 30, 2008 may i know how car air con causes fc to goes up? and does headlights causes fc to goes up too? Simple science, When you need energy means you need to create them and where does it come from? Your engine and what drives your engine? Fuel! So to create energy you need to burn petrol to release the energy ...LOL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlover76 Neutral Newbie March 30, 2008 Share March 30, 2008 may i know how car air con causes fc to goes up? and does headlights causes fc to goes up too? Guess there are many out there who try to save their car battery by not switching on headlight when driving in the night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtrider_ak Neutral Newbie March 30, 2008 Share March 30, 2008 (edited) You pay road tax includes street lights. You know singapore roads is one of the brightest at night and a waste of energy put on head lights. parking lights will be good enough... stupid ppl how to go green! I vote for less street lights and cut the road tax and I dun mind wasting my headlights! Edited March 30, 2008 by Dirtrider_ak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope_n_pray 2nd Gear March 30, 2008 Share March 30, 2008 I only know that using the aircon affects the FC. but never heard of headlights.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtrider_ak Neutral Newbie March 31, 2008 Share March 31, 2008 Yes headlights does consume power but not sufficant enough to have as a data. But in theory it does consume power and it has to be replenish somehow right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boyboy 1st Gear March 31, 2008 Share March 31, 2008 for me, when i switch on headlights, my vacuum meter registers a dip. as long as electricity is used, there must be additional power generated. unless there's always excess electrical power generated, and therefore wasted..

Cavver 4th Gear March 31, 2008 Share March 31, 2008 YOu cant create energy you only release them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavver 4th Gear March 31, 2008 Share March 31, 2008 To be exact: Fuel burn > engine run > alternator turn(rotate)> AC supply generated > converted to DC > Charge battery {YOu need a DC current to charge a batt} > batt's energy use on your car electrical applications like Spark plugs, radio,ICE, Lightings etc etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
