To know your air conditioner better, start from the basics. There are mainly three major parts of an air conditionerthe condenser, the compressor and the evaporator. While the first two are placed exterior to the air conditioner, the evaporator is interior to the machine.
Basically the air conditioner works on the successive heating and cooling of a super-volatile liquid called Freon. The latter first goes into the compressor and is compressed into gas form, thus emitting heat and cooling the liquid consequently. The dispelled heat is, then, fanned out with the help of a rotating fan. Next, the liquid gets into the condenser and absorbs the surrounding heat to transform into vapor again. So evidently, the surroundings cool down. This whole process goes on in a cyclical pattern, thus bringing down the temperature in the room.
Apart from the three above major parts of an air conditioner, the machine also has a hot coil, a cool coil, one exterior fan, one interior fan and a control circuit in it. The hot coil is placed outside to dispel the heat out and the cool coil placed inside to absorb heat. The control circuit modifies the temperature by regulating the rotation...
