How do Air Conditioners Work ?

Central Air or AC is a common term used to refer to the cooling of air. The process of cooling air involves compressing, cooling and decompressing air. As a result cool air is produced and the humidity level is reduced resulting in fresh, cool crisp air.


In order to get optimal results, you need to be able to condition the correct amount of air at a suitable rate. If this balance is not correct you may end up with damp clammy air, or an overworked Central Air system that cannot keep your environment cool - which is also a waste of energy.

Cooling Coil

We use a coolant filled coil to collect heat from inside your home. This warmed up coolant is then pumped outside to a condenser for compression and cooling.

Condensers

Condensers are used to compress the coolant and cool it off with a fan. The condenser is installed outside of your home - typically on the side of your house. It contains a coolant filled coil - similar to the one inside your home, a compressor and a fan. The condesner compresses the coolant into a small area which causes it to be much warmer than the air around it. A fan is use to transfer the heat from the coil to the air outside. Next the coolant is decompressed. The decompressed coolant takes up more space, so the heat is spread out and the resulting coolant is much cooler than the air in your home. It is then and pumped back into your home.

At this point the chilled coolant is used to draw heat from the air in your home. A fan is used to transfer the heat in your home to the coolant. As a result of losing heat, the air in your home loses its ability to hold water - or humidity. The any excess water builds up on the cold coolant coils and drips into a drain.

Thermostats / Temerature Controls:

The cycle is then repeated until the air reaches a desired temperature. The central air system then shuts off and waits until the air temerature increases again. Your Thermostat is used to turn the air conditioning system on and off in response to changes in the air temperature.
