The engine exerts aspecific power to run air conditioning system. During running, fuelconsumption, noise and vibration increase. Most of gasoline automobiles inTurkey have used Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) as an alternative fuel. In thisstudy, the effect of use of Air Conditioner (AC) on engine vibration ingasoline car engines are experimentally investigated. According to theexperiment results, it is observed that the use of AC while running on LPG decreasesthe engine vibration at the revolution speeds of 800, 2000, 3000 and 5000 rev/minwhereas the use of AC while running on gasoline decreases the engine vibrationat the revolution speeds of 2000, 3000 and 4000 rev/min. In addition to that,when the AC is on, the levels of vibration increase in the engine while runningon LPG and gasoline are observed to be linear and nonlinear with the increasein the idle revolution speeds, respectively. Accordingly, it can be concludedthat the car engine while using LPG is running more stably compared to thatwhile using gasoline.
