How Air Conditioning Works
Air conditioning is more than just a magical box that blows cool air. It operates on a straightforward principle:
Taking Heat Away: Air conditioners use a special fluid to remove heat from indoor air. This fluid quickly changes from a liquid to a gas and back again.
Cooling the Air: Once you remove the heat, the refrigerant carries it outside. The indoor air is left cooler and more comfortable.
Circulating Fresh Air: Air conditioners also help improve indoor air quality by circulating and filtering the air, removing dust, allergens, and humidity.
Components of an Air Conditioning System
Evaporator Coil: Located inside the home, this coil absorbs heat from indoor air.
Condenser Coil: Located outside the home, this coil releases the absorbed heat into the outdoor air.
Compressor: The heart of the system, the compressor circulates refrigerant between the indoor and outdoor coils.
Thermostat: The thermostat acts as the control center, allowing you to set and maintain your desired temperature.
Types of Air Conditioning Systems
Central Air Conditioning: The most common type, central air conditioning, uses a system of ducts to distribute cool air throughout the entire home.
Ductless Mini-Split Systems: Ideal for homes without ductwork, mini-split systems allow for targeted cooling in specific areas.
Window Units: These standalone units are designed for cooling individual rooms and are easy to install in windows.
