Learn How Central Air Units Operate to Make Repairs Easy
A central air unit is a great investment for many people. Unfortunately, many homeowners don't know how these units operate. Learn how the central air conditioning system works, including the components it contains, and how to fix problems with your central air units, by watching this video.
A central air unit removes humidity and heat from the interior air, creating a calm environment inside the house or other enclosed spaces.
It restores the cooled air inside and transmits the undesired heat and humidity outside. Understanding the mechanics of the central air conditioning unit can help you choose the suitable unit for your needs and help you troubleshoot when there are problems.
There are various types of air conditioners today, but most of them operate in similar ways. A typical unit contains a refrigerant and three other components, including a condenser, a compressor, and a coil. These components work together to change the refrigerant into liquid and return it as gas. The compressor helps in raising the refrigerant's temperature, sending it to the condenser to be turned into a liquid. Next follows a series of repeated cooling and heating processes between the components to allow cooled air to be distributed throughout the house.
