My guess, and it may be what Particle man meant as well, is when the A/C is set to get fresh air it is putting new air in the car. The old air has to be forced out somewhere creating higher pressure in the cabin. The fan runs slower because it has to overcome that pressure differential to get the new air in the cabin. When set on recirc it is drawing air from the cabin, cooling it, then replacing it back in the cabin. The fan does not have to work against the increased cabin pressure, its job is easier, and as a result it can run faster. I know in my truck when the A/C is set to get outside air its output increases if I crack the window open.

With the benefit of time a shit sandwich can be made to sound good. I think I got where you were coming from.
Homeslice, yes, people are too stupid to understand what recirc will accomplish. The "too stupid" factor dictates far too much of car design today. |

What? People don't understand if you recirc cold air thru the a/c process again it gets colder?

Shit Sandwich On whole wheat, rye, or a seasame seed bun... Mr Hanky's sandwich spread cannot be beat... The creamy texture combined with nutty chunks and a hint of whole corn kernals make this a great treat for any occassion. Move over JIFF, this ain't yo' momma's peanut butter... this is a special gift from the gods of taste! Savor the thick aroma... it's the kind of food you can smell from miles away. Lick your lips... the smell alone has your mouth watering... Now dig in... it's ok if you like th spoon, we don't mind. |

So then if all Max does is make the air recirc, then why do so many cars have both a Max button AND a recirc button? Do they think people are too stupid to understand what recirc will accomplish? |
