AIR CONDITIONER

An air conditioner (AC) is a system designed to regulate the temperature, humidity, and overall air quality within a specific area, such as a building or a vehicle. Its components and functions include:

The thermostat, which controls the desired temperature settings. Refrigerant, a substance that absorbs and releases heat to facilitate cooling. A compressor, which pressurizes the refrigerant, increasing its temperature. The condenser, which cools down the refrigerant, causing it to condense from a vapor to a liquid state. An expansion valve, also known as the metering device, regulates the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator, controlling the cooling process. The evaporator absorbs heat from indoor air, cooling it down as the refrigerant evaporates. Fans circulate air over the evaporator and condenser coils, facilitating the transfer of heat between the refrigerant and the air. Filters remove dust, pollen, and other particles from the air, improving indoor air quality and protecting the AC system from debris. Ductwork, in central AC systems, distributes the cooled air throughout the building. Dehumidification reduces humidity levels indoors, enhancing comfort.
