HOW DOES AN AIRCONDITIONER WORK?

The compressorpressurizes the refrigerant,changing it back into aliquid.

The hot refrigeranttravels to coilslocated outside ofthe house.

The condenserblows air across thehot coils, releasingthe heat outside.

The expansion valveregulates the flow ofthe refrigerant. Itdecreases pressure,causing the refrigerantto change into gasand cool down.

A fan then blowsthe air across thecooled coils into aroom or a ductsystem thatdistributes itthroughout thehouse.

Air is pulled in from intakevalves throughout the house.
