You actually make your A/C less efficient by using recirculate with the windows down because air is being drawn out of the cabin; the same air your A/C is trying to draw in. You'll get more air flowing through the system with your window down if you let it use the outside air (which, in that scenario, is also cooler to begin with). Try driving with a window open and hit the recirculate button on your A/C. At the same fan speed, there will be considerably less air coming out of the vents than you have in non-recirculate mode. I must've read this 10x and I still can't figure out what you're trying to say. |

I believe he's saying he just rolls down a window. The air is full of dirt, and it's hot outside in his local at this time of year.

If I ever see a manual written that way, I will. You actually made me crack open the owners manual for my truck, but all it says is to use recirculate for quick cooling or in dusty/high exhaust fume areas. It makes no mention of using recirculate with the windows down.

I've service/repaired a lot of AC systems and I've never seen one like this. Running the compressor 100% will just flood/freeze up the Evaporator.

Max A/C is for cabin air recirculation only. Notice when you have a Recirc button, you don't have a Max A/C setting. When you have a Max A/C setting, you don't have a recirc button. Most compressors nowadays don't cycle anyway. They are either ON or OFF. The pressure control is done with valving in the compressor itself. This is not to say that the engine controller cannot turn OFF the compressore if the high side pressure becomes too high or too low or if you in a W.O.T. scenario.
