How a Central Air Conditioning Systems Works?

The main idea behind any air conditioning system depends upon the law of thermal dynamics. It states that if any hot and cold spaces are separated by a “medium” the transfer through the medium is from hot to cold.

Heat follows cold, so a central air conditioner draws warm, humid air across fin tubes on the evaporator coil. This causes the air to condense. The moisture is collected in a pan below the coil and drained off, helping reduce humidity inside the living space.

The coil must be cooled, which is the function of the compressor and condenser coil in the outdoor unit; hot air is returned from the air handler to the compressor. The compressor pressurizes liquid/gas refrigerant, heating it to a gaseous state and sending it to the adjacent condenser coil, where it is cooled and returned to the evaporator unit indoors.

This repeated cycle of removing warm air from inside the house to outside and pumping in cooler air is, of course, what makes the temperature inside the living space more comfortable on a hot day! The amount of energy needed to cool your home is an important factor in determining the overall cost of operating your central air conditioner.

  3. Thanks for sharing. Central air conditioned systems work more successfully and competently than room air conditioners. These are also calm and very suitable in use. It also help in saving energy and reduce the electricity bills.
