air conditioner
The air conditioner in a car helps keep it cool inside by blowing cold air. Sometimes, it can use up some of the car's power, making it feel less powerful when it's running.
The air conditioning system in a car cools the interior by circulating refrigerant and removing heat from the cabin. It can affect engine performance when engaged, as it draws power from the engine.
