Fan Speed Energy Usage


Going through the originally winter with a Pries and just recently spiraling on the temperature instead of the originally phase I noticed something the other date...

One of my gauges with the aim of me for all time worth on my Torque app is AC watts consumption. Now I'm assuming with the aim of this additionally records in the "cost" to power the fan as well, someone PLEASE correct me if I'm insult. This possibly will be a arrive at but I'm basing with the aim of statement on the actuality with the aim of near is rebuff thrilling furnace, just a fan pulling temperature rancid of the engine.

So with temperature on a moderate amount and fan speed by middle/hi settings I'm still just considering it pull out just about 150 watts. This is compared with era with the aim of I am running the AC by medium/hi levels and will go to see it pull out well above 1000 watts, now and again even 1500+.

This all leads I to believe with the aim of for the duration of stifling summer weather I ought to be using fan speed to help with comfort as a replacement for of relying solely on AUTO. For model, I believe (won't be able to test till subsequently summer) with the aim of running the AC by 78 with the fan resolute on 4 ought to crowd-puller a circus amount excluding power than it resolute on 75 with the fan resolute on 1.

This is a set of assumptions and I admit to not being an expert in these things so please enthusiasm tranquil with the criticisms. But I beyond doubt would realize a few pointers. Thanks!
