HOW AC SYSTEMS FUNCTION
A cool home in the heat of summer is a welcome escape. Have you ever wondered how an air conditioning system works? AC systems run off either gas or electricity, and they all function on the same basic principles. A furnace is required to distribute cooled air throughout your home via a natural gas air conditioner, while electric air conditioning systems utilize an air handler for distribution.
The system’s condenser is the AC unit you find outside your home. Inside this condenser sits a compressor, condenser coil, and large fan. Cool refrigerant pumps connect to an evaporator coil, which is found either in the building’s furnace or air handler. The location depends on whether it runs off gas or electricity. The furnace, or air handler blower, pushes warm air past the cold condenser coil to cool it. Then, this cool air is distributed throughout the structure via air ducts.
The evaporator coil absorbs heat and warms the coolant as it moves through. Next, warm refrigerant pumps back outside to the condenser to be cooled by the large fan. This causes the heat to escape into the outdoor air. The cycle continues until the indoor air temperature reaches that set on the thermostat.
