Air conditioning sucks
I have not been using A/C much in my FFH,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], preferring to use the driving without air technique to save on mpg. However today was very hot and humid in the Philadelphia area. I decided to use A/C on my way home from work.
Now,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], on Friday last week I set a new record for the ride home from work (which is mostly uphill, about 7 miles) of 45.5 without A/C. My battery started that trip at a high state of charge,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which helps because more electric power is available to assist the internal combustion engine.
Today,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with temperatures in the 95-100 degree range and high humidity,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I set my A/C on 76 for the drive home. The A/C is driven from the electric engine. It uses quite a lot of power according to the FFH's "accessories" power gauge, especially while first cooling the car. I quickly realized how much impact this would have on the trip home as I passed several milestones at low mpg figures. Typically its fairly easy for me to get 38 or so mpg. Today,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I got 25.4 mpg! Admittedly,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I did not drive as carefully for mpg as I sometimes do; and the battery started at about 40% charge (and never got above about 50% during the trip due to the A/C power draw).
A/C can really suck mpgs out of the FFH,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], especially on short trips where its on max for much of the trip during the initial cool-down period.
I have noticed a similar trend,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], though not as drastic as your first experience. Here in Southwest Oklahoma,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it has been difficult to go with out A/C. My one way commute is about 17 miles. Without AC I average about 38-41 MPG,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with AC that number is usually more like 33-35.
One thing that I generally do is go ahead and run the AC while the ICE warms up to normal operating temperature,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. This helps get the initial temperature in the car down from 120 or so to a manageable 85. Once the engine is warmed up and I can get in EV mode I turn the AC back off and go with either the fan or a window cracked.
Actually,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you WANT to use the AC.
The Fusion Hybrid's battery pack is cooled by your cabin's air. There is a vent under the rear seat cusion which draws cabin air to cool the HV battery pack mounted in the trunk.
Remember that heat stress is the biggest enemy to the HV battery's longevity. If you want that HV battery to remain in pristine condition,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it needs to be kept cool. That's why on hot days,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you WANT to run the AC.
You also want to periodically inspect the vent to make sure it's not clogged up with debris. If the battery starts to overheat, the hybrid system will behave strangely and might throw codes.相关的主题文章:
