How Do Air Conditioner Systems Work?
Air conditioners use a refrigerant to absorb heat from the air in your home as it’s drawn over the evaporator coils, causing the refrigerant to vaporize. That vapor is then sent to the compressor, where it’s compressed and heated further. From there, it goes to the condenser coil to release the heat to the outside air, returning the refrigerant to a gaseous state as it cools. The refrigerant then returns to the evaporator coil through an expansion valve, reducing its pressure and allowing it to turn to a gas quickly, cooling your home.
Problems with any step in this process, from poor heat absorption to limited airflow, can result in reduced cooling performance or no cooling at all. For an accurate diagnosis, you need an experienced AC technician like our experts at United Air Temp.
