Does the a/c pump draws a constant torque? If so, that means the higher the engine rev, the more power it uses, right?
Or does the a/c have an equivalent of a gear so that when the engine speed is higher, it can use less torque?
My car's a/c does not have any automatic control. When it's on, I can control the coolness only by adjusting the blowing fan speed. But whether the fan is set to low or high, the a/c is still using up the same power? So is it better to always set the fan to high to maximize the cooling, then turn off the a/c when it is cold enough?
