Question: How Does Air Conditioning Work?
Basically, Air conditioning systems move “heat” from inside your home to the outside. Almost all of our AC systems use airflow to achieve this. To get a more in-depth idea of how this happens, watch our video below, or read on…
Elementary, My Dear Watson!
The majority of home and smaller commercial air conditioning systems circulate a compressed gas refrigerant in a closed “split” system to cool and condition the inside air. The refrigerant has to be re-cooled and condensed, and outside air is the medium most often used to accomplish this.
The term “split” simply means that components are divided into inside and outside portions as opposed to being located together in a “package” unit. The refrigerants, widely recognized by the trademark “Freon” (which is a registered trademark of the DuPont company for refrigerants), help cool and dehumidify the inside air.
In a “forced air” system, an internal blower circulates the conditioned air through ducts to the rooms where the cooler air is needed. This crucial component, known as an air handler, plays a vital role in moving air efficiently throughout your home. Learn more about air handlers and their function here.
The air ducts generally run either below the ceiling and inside the rooms (conditioned air) or in the attic (unconditioned air). An outside fan pulls air across the external parts of the system to cool and condense the refrigerant.
