conditioner is doing the same thing as your fridge, except it dumps the heat it takes out of the area and dumps it outdoors instead of in your kitchen.
To understand what goes on in the system, let's start where the freon gas enters the compressor located in the outside part of the unit..
it squeezes this freon gas that has just absorbed heat from the indoor air, causing it to become hot.
The air being compressed into the end of the pump will get hot, is squeezed into area that is many times smaller than where it just was.
This now high-pressure freon gas, that is now many times hotter runs through set of coils outside where fan blows on it to cool the high-temperature gas so that large portion of this concentrated heat is removed from it.
This high-pressure freon liquid which has now had lot of its original heat forced out of it, is then pulled back into the house where it waits its turn to pass through tiny opening that is the entrance to the coil that sits within your home's air stream..
By using this tiny opening to back-up the pressure on the outdoor part of the system, it allows the compressor to maintain low-pressure side within the coil that is in your home's air stream.
In sense, this is like the compressor working in reverse, so the heat that was left in it now has to spread out over its bigger size..
This need to use its limited heat over bigger gas molecule, causes it to become quite cold the air passing over this coil is cooled and then spread through your home by your home's ductwork.
the heat that was taken out of your home's air, has entered the warming freon gas so that when it gets back to the compressor the whole process is repeated.. © Online-Access...
