Comments The Functioning of an Air conditioner
![]() |
Air conditioners are an import, non avoidable home appliance. In the modern era, they have an important place in our home. Air conditioning means not only controlling the temperature, but also means reducing the humidity and purifying the air. Air-cooling is the process of simply forcing cool or cold air into a room, space or building.
Let us now look how an air conditioner works. The working of an air conditioner is almost same to the working of a refrigerator. You may have noticed the working of a refrigerator. The refrigerators do make a very quiet noise every few minutes. They make things stay cold and fresh longer. The functioning of a refrigerator isn’t that complex. It circulates a refrigerant through a system of coils. The noise you hear is a compressor that compresses the gas refrigerant into a liquid, which later moves through the coils and absorbs heat. The working of air conditioner is almost the same.
Most air conditioners are situated in the back or side yard of the home.
No matter the size or the shape, all air conditioners function the same way. The air conditioner unit use a gas, which may be one of several types or composition, but it is commonly referred to as Freon.
The first piece of the air conditioning system is the compressor, which compresses the refrigerant gas. The process makes the refrigerant hot under pressure, which gets circulated through coils on the outside of the refrigerator or building and dissipates the heat. The heat let the refrigerant gas get cooled and letting it back into a liquid which goes through another piece of the system called an expansion valve. Running through the expansion valve produces evaporation letting the refrigerant go cold at low pressure. The cold gas is propelled inside the room with a fan. The cycle starts then all over again.
