The compressor's main role is to compress the refrigerant, raising its pressure and temperature, which allows it to flow through the system.
The condenser cools and condenses the refrigerant from a gas to a liquid. It releases the absorbed heat to the environment.
The expansion valve controls the amount of refrigerant released into the evaporator, causing it to cool and expand rapidly, which helps absorb heat.
The evaporator absorbs heat from the indoor air, allowing the refrigerant to vaporize and cool the surrounding environment.
In the evaporator, refrigerant undergoes phase change from liquid to gas, a process known as evaporation, absorbing heat in the process.
The thermostat regulates the temperature by turning the air conditioning unit on and off as needed to maintain the desired temperature.
In the condenser, refrigerant is cooled, releasing absorbed heat and condensing it into a liquid form.
The compressor converts mechanical energy into thermal energy by compressing the refrigerant, which increases its pressure and temperature.
The compressor ensures that the refrigerant is highly pressurized, allowing it to flow through the system efficiently.
The condenser expels heat absorbed from the interior to the outside, thereby cooling the refrigerant by converting it into a liquid state.
