Why do Nigerian put off their Ac, when they are about to enter road filled with water? Any idea?   |

Heard it can damage the compressor, but don't know how/why |

Yes it damages the compressor. That is why some manufacturers have gone the extra mile to install an electronic sensor on their compressor so in the cases where the road is water logged a signal is sent to the computer box and in turns shuts down the climate control system |

- its better the AC is put off so that your engine gets enough power to pull through the water. having the AC ON is enough load especially if you have a smaller engine capacity and 'swimming' through water requires enough power from the said engine to go through successfully, so leaving it OFF at that instance is reducing the work-load invariably. |

When your ac is on when passing through flood water, over time the grease on the compressor pulley gets washed of easily by the water and revolving speed of the compressor leading to its failure. Also if your fan is still at factory status, when you turn off the ac, the fan will go off making it impossible for the blades to pick debris from the flood water which can hit your condenser or radiator while revolving and cause avoidable damage. Moreover you need all the strength/compression to pull through the flood 1 Like |
