AIR CONDITIONING TAMPA
Explaining the System
You have chemistry, a little physics, and a bunch of tubes and wires to thank for the fact that you’re not sweating onto your keyboard right now. As a premier air conditioning Tampa provider, we enjoy answering that time-honored question: “How does an air conditioner work?” Without further adieu, here’s the answer.
An air conditioner actually makes your home less warm. It’s a slight difference in perspective, but it’s an important one. The system draws heat energy out of the house and transfers that heat to the outdoors.
Gas (refrigerant) flows into the compressor, where high pressure turns the refrigerant into a liquid. The compressor then pumps this chilly liquid through tubes to the evaporator coil. Here, the cold liquid refrigerant absorbs heat energy from the surrounding air and turns back into a gas. During this time, humidity from warm indoor air condenses on the evaporator and drains away.
Meanwhile, a blower draws warm air from the house, moves it through the evaporator where heat energy is removed and blows this air on through the ductwork into your house. As for the heat energy removed from that air, the once-gaseous, then-liquid, no-once-again-gaseous refrigerant carries that heat energy back to the outdoor unit. Here, the refrigerant passes through the condenser (sometimes called the condensing coil) where metal fins around the tubing transfer heat to the surrounding air, which is moved over the condenser by an exhaust fan.
Still following this, air conditioning Tampa seeker? That air blowing out the top of your outdoor unit is hot because it contains heat energy that was inside your home or office just a few minutes ago.
And that, my friend, is the long-winded and completely true story of how an air conditioning system works.
