Main Components and Amazing Work of Air Conditioner
This a labeled diagram of Main Components and Amazing Work of Air Conditioner, how they work together to cool air. Here’s a breakdown of the labeled parts and their functions.
- Evaporator (1): The evaporator coils are filled with a refrigerant, which absorbs heat from the air inside the space. This process causes the refrigerant to turn from a liquid into a gas.
- Blower (2): A blower or fan circulates air over the evaporator coils, which have been chilled by the refrigerant. This chilled air is then blown into the space.
- Condenser (3): The condenser coils are located on the outside of the space. The refrigerant gas travels to the condenser coils where it releases the heat it picked up from the inside of the refrigerator to the surrounding air. The condenser coils are typically aided by a fan to dissipate heat more effectively.
- Compressor (4): Once the refrigerant releases its heat in the condenser coils, it changes back into a liquid. The compressor is a pump that pressurizes the refrigerant, allowing it to move throughout the system.
- Fan (5): An additional fan blows air over the condenser coils to help dissipate the heat released by the refrigerant heat to the surrounding air.
- Filter (6): The air filter removes particles from the air circulating throughout the refrigerator [1].
- Thermostat (7): The thermostat is a control system that regulates the temperature inside the space. When the temperature rises above a set point, the thermostat turns on the compressor and blower to cool down the room.
In summary, an Air Conditioner works by using a refrigerant to absorb heat from the inside of the space and release it to the surrounding air. The compressor circulates the refrigerant throughout the system, and the evaporator and condenser coils facilitate the heat transfer process. The blower circulates chilled air throughout the Air Conditioned space, and the thermostat regulates the temperature by turning the compressor and blower on and off as needed.
