AIR CONDITIONING

If you have ever used a can of compressed air to clean computer components, you will know that the bottle gets very cold in a short amount of time. This is due to the rapid expansion of the compressed gas. The same thing happens in your car's air conditioning system. Refrigerant is compressed in the compressor and turns into a hot gas. In the condenser, this hot gas is cooled to a liquid state and travels to the expansion valve. As the freon goes through the expansion valve it returns to a low-pressure gas and rapidly cools in the evaporator. A fan blows over the evaporator and cools the air that will eventually blow out your vents.

Components of the air conditioning system:

• Evaporator

• Condenser

• Expansion Valve

• Compressor 

• Fans
