How Air Conditioning Work
Air conditioning has fundamentally changed how people experience the world. When it’s hot outside, walking into an air-conditioned house is like walking into another season. Few pieces of technology have had such a striking effect on people’s daily lives. Find out how air conditioners keep us cool. Credits: , HowStuffWorks

this video is a terrible representation describing an air conditioner.

It’s the pump that gets ya. Same with your air conditioner in your car when you turn it on you burn more gas.
July 5th, 2009 at 5:29 pm
Yea totally shit way of explaining it. Just goggle it this vid is vague.

WRONG
July 8th, 2009 at 8:20 am
can anyone else give me senario i am just wondering when u are looking at your high and low on your guages. i know for instance that high suction low to none on my head pressure i do not have a compresssor running i would like other readings and meanings please
thanks

Looks like the guys who installed that outdoor unit didn’t leave enough room all the way around it for air flow and the leaves don’t help as then could get sucked up onto the coil…..

not really how it works. Compressing a gas through an orifice smaller than the area surrounding the output causes cooling. Think of this, near the center of a fire explosion the heat is hottest, as the explosion travels further outward the explosion is cooler; becuase the molecules have traveled further apart.

whoever thinks this video will help you understand how air conditioning works you should have your dick pulled through your ass, then you should be kicked in the nuts by a 2 ton bull

hehehe:D he made a huge mistace.. freon is no longer used. It fucks up the ozon
July 16th, 2009 at 12:42 pm
this isn’t that wrong as all you followers say. hes not talking about the pfm that goes on in the condensor and the evaporator he is saying that as air is blown acrossed the device known as an evaporator the ambient air temp is absorbed by the “freon” or r-22 and cools that air flowing through the house. this cools your house same with a car on a larger scale. by the way freon is a bullshit term copywritten by a company there are hundreds of different refigerents all with different names
July 20th, 2009 at 1:19 am
just buy a fan
lol
July 20th, 2009 at 1:52 am
Freon is liquid
July 25th, 2009 at 11:28 am
Can you tell me what you are doing,what refigerent you are working whit then i can help you Jerry

all techs be ready. Dupont has anounced that in 7 years 410-A will no longer be used. A new refrigerant 438-A will replace R-22. It is a new direct dropin replacement. only thing that needs to be done is on bigger semi-hermetic compressors, the gaskets need to be changed. Pressures are near identical, to that of R-22.

great vid
July 30th, 2009 at 2:38 pm
Nice name
August 3rd, 2009 at 8:25 am
could be more detailed
August 4th, 2009 at 5:52 am
his last name is ” brain ” ? lol.
August 6th, 2009 at 10:04 am
I dunno about this.. I’m pretty sure it has something to do with tiny penguins.
August 10th, 2009 at 10:36 am
old fashioned system….. every one has split airco’s for 300 euro’s ..

Howstuffworks is worse than Expertvillage
August 13th, 2009 at 6:36 am
I understood it somewhat before the video. now I don’t at all.
August 14th, 2009 at 6:54 am
i stopped watching it halfway, too simplified, im not a moron,
August 14th, 2009 at 9:08 am
This was way too dumbed down, moar better explanation please!

If you turn on the A/C in your car, and you find the low pressure side, and you feel the metal tubing, it’ll be ice cold. Sometimes there’s even ice on it.

Here simplify answers to how air conditioning works. To make air conditioner works it requires the basic components and these components are: The compressor, the condenser, the evaporator, the metering device and the copper tubing.
I know copper tubing is not a mechanical device, but it’s require to connect these four components.
There are two heat exchanger within the air conditioner units and these heat exchanger are the condenser and evaporator coils.
The evaporator coils is indoor and the condenser coils is outdoor. The evaporator absorb heat from indoor and the condenser reject heat to outdoor.
That is the basic ideas to how ac works.
