How does an air conditioner work?
Air conditioners work in much the same way as a refrigerator. Instead of cooling the insulated space inside of a refrigerator, and air conditioner cools a room, a whole house, or an entire business. An air conditioner functions by removing the heat from the indoor air and transferring it outside. The machine has three main parts: a compressor, a condenser, and an evaporator. The compressor and condenser are usually located on the outside air portion of the air conditioner. The evaporator is located inside. The evaporator and condenser are serpentine tubing surrounded by aluminum fins which are usually made of copper. A heat transfer fluid called refrigerant is pumped between the evaporator and condenser by the compressor. The liquid refrigerant evaporates in the indoor evaporator coil, pulling heat out of the indoor air and thereby cooling the home.. The now hot refrigerant gas is pumped outdoors into the condenser where it reverts to a liquid giving up its heat to the air flowing over the condenser's metal tubing and fins. This process continues over and over until the room reaches the temperature desired. A thermostat senses that the temperature has reached the right setting and turns off the air conditioner. As the room warms up, the thermostat turns the air conditioner back on until the room returns to the temperature you want.
