A Non-Technical Explanation of How Air Conditioning Works

Central air conditioning cools your entire home by circulating cool air through a network of ducts. The system consists of two main parts: an outdoor unit, known as the condenser, and an indoor unit, called the evaporator. The cooling process begins when the condenser cools down a special fluid called refrigerant, which then travels to the evaporator. Inside your home, a fan pulls warm air from the living spaces and passes it over the cool refrigerant in the evaporator. This process absorbs heat from the air, cooling it down. The cooled air is then distributed through ducts and vents to different rooms, creating a comfortable indoor environment. The warm air absorbed by the refrigerant is expelled outside by the condenser unit. You control the temperature of your home using a thermostat, which signals the air conditioning system when to turn on or off, maintaining the desired temperature. This process continuously cycles air, removing heat and humidity, to ensure a consistent and comfortable temperature throughout your home.
