There is hardly any building or car without an air conditioner these days. It has become a useful component of houses, homes, vehicles, and so on. With each passing day, air conditioning is becoming more and more of a necessity. Although everyone enjoys a cool room, not all know how the air is cooled. While this may seem like something only a professional air conditioning repair company like EasyBreezy AC may need to know – understanding how something works will help you identify any issues that arise and whether they can be simple DIY AC fixes or require professional AC repair.
To understand how an air conditioner works, you’ll need to know the four major components of an air conditioner. These parts are:
The evaporator collects heat from a space via a refrigerant gas. The evaporator coils are where the absorption of heat by the liquid refrigerant takes place, and after the absorption process, the liquid evaporates into a gas.
An additional function of the evaporator coil is to dehumidify the room by drawing out moisture from the incoming hot air.
As the name suggests, this is the area in which the compression of the gaseous refrigerant occurs. By increasing the pressure of the gas, the temperature rises. The gas is the transferred to the condenser for conversion.
This is where the gas refrigerant is converted back to liquid, and the heat I absorbed from the air is expelled outside.
The valve is positioned between the cooling coils of the evaporator and the hot coils of the condenser. Sometimes referred to as the throttling device, it monitors the amount of refrigerant that moves into the evaporator.
When you turn on an air conditioner and select your desired temperature, there is a sensory device in the AC that senses whether there is a difference between the temperature of the room and the one selected by you.
