How Air Conditioners Work – Air Conditioners
Air conditioners work by removing the heat from the space they service. An air conditioner is simply a big refrigerator that uses the process of refrigeration to provide cooling for a building. Air conditioners work by using direct expansion coils or chilled water coils to remove the heat from the air as air is blown across the coils. Types of air conditioner systems that use direct expansion coils for cooling are window units, split system air conditioners, package unit air conditioners, packaged terminal air conditioners like the air conditioners used in hotels, and mini-split ductless air conditioners. Air conditioners which utilized chilled water for air conditioning are typically commercial air conditioners for large commercial buildings. It doesn’t matter what type of air conditioner is used the coils in the air conditioner system are brought to a temperature colder than the air. These air conditioners coils are designed with materials like copper or aluminum to absorbed heat easily and pass this heat to the refrigerant whether the refrigerant is Freon or another type refrigerant chemical or whether that refrigerant is water. Any type of refrigerant is designed to absorb heat. That is how air conditioners work.
