How does an air conditioning system work?

Through this blog, let’s take you around the process of air conditioning and how an air conditioner works, along with the workings on individual parts of an air conditioning system.

1. How Does An Air Conditioning System Work?

2. People often think that air conditioning is the process of providing cool air. However, it really is the process used to create an optimum temperature level in a room and maintain it. Through this blog, let’s take you around the process of air conditioning and how an air conditioner works, along with the workings on individual parts of an air conditioning system. 2

4. Like we told you earlier, the process of air conditioning works by removing warm air from the indoor environment and pumping it outside, while sending cool air back into the room, reducing the overall temperature. This is mainly achieved by the process of expansion (liquid becoming gas), which absorbs heat and makes the indoors cooler. Essentially your 1.5 ton split ac works very much like your refrigerator. In a refrigerator however, heat is absorbed inside the refrigerator and then removed from the room. 4

5. How does an air conditioner work? Now that you know how the process of air conditioning works overall, let’s take a look at how does the 1.5 ton 5 star inverter ac in your room work? The appliance begins by drawing warm air from your room inside the system. This warm air passes over a cold evaporator pipe inside, which cools the air down. A dehumidifier removes excess moisture so that the air sent back into the room doesn’t feel heavy. Alongside this, the coolant (or gas) flowing inside the condenser pipes absorbs the extra heat and this turns the coolant liquid into gas (expansion). This process absorbs heat from the indoor air that the 1.5 ton 5 star inverter ac had sucked in. 5

6. The coolant, when it passes through a compressor unit and a condenser, releases heat and the gas turns back into a liquid. This process of contraction releases cool air, which is sent back into the room. This cold air is re-circulated into the room and the overall temperature is regulated. Inverter ACs by companies like Panasonic are energy efficient because of the in-built inverter technology, which cuts off the condenser over long operating durations. Since condenser is the most electricity consuming component in the 1.5 ton 5 star inverter ac , regulating its working helps deliver energy efficiency and helps save on the electricity bill. 6

7. Function of other components in an air conditioner Your 1.5 ton split ac unit needs a cooling liquid (coolant) which is pumped through the condenser coils. This coolant is what cools the air. For the air conditioning process to work, this refrigerant circuit has to have three key components. Warm air from your room is pulled in and passed over the cold evaporator coil. As the coolant absorbs heat from the warm air and turns into gas, which is passed through the condenser. The compressor in the 1.5 ton split ac decreases the volume of gas and increases its pressure and temperature. When the heat is transferred in the outdoor environment, the refrigerant goes back to the evaporator and the process is repeated. 7

8. With the advancement of technology, brands like Panasonic have introduced wifi air conditioner. These air conditioners work by the same principle but can be connected on the home wifi network, which allows remote operations and even voice assistant support like Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. Panasonic’s IoT platform, Miraie helps control the wifi air conditioner via your smartphone. Now is a great time to grab festive offers on a wifi air conditione r . If you’re planning to buy one for your home this festive season, go for reputed brands like Panasonic, LG, Samsung, etc. 8
