How an Air Conditioner Works
Air conditioners use energy to transfer heat from the interior of your home to the relatively warm outside environment. Air conditioning systems have two coils, one called the indoor evaporator coil and a second one called the outdoor condenser coil. These coils are heat transfer devices that make heat removal possible. A pump, called the compressor, moves refrigerant between the evaporator and the condenser. The pump forces the refrigerant through the circuit of tubing and fins in the coils. The liquid refrigerant evaporates in the indoor evaporator coil, pulling heat out of indoor air and thereby cooling your home. The hot refrigerant gas is pumped outdoors into the condenser where it reverts back to a liquid, giving up its heat to the outside air flowing over the condenser’s metal tubing and fins.
Components of an Air Conditioner
- Compressor: The electric pump, or heart of the system, that circulates the refrigerant in a closed loop between the condenser and evaporator coils.
- Condenser coil: A network of tubes filled with refrigerants that remove heat from the heated gas refrigerant and convert it into a liquid form again. The excess heat escapes into the outside air.
- Fan: Pulls air through the condenser coil for heat dispersal.
- Evaporator coil: A network of tubes filled with refrigerants that removes heat and moisture from the air as the refrigerant evaporates into a gas again.
- Air handling unit: The blower and related portion of the central air conditioning system that moves air through the air ducts.
- Air filters: Air filters trap dust, pollen, and other airborne particles as air moves through the air conditioning system. Air filters contribute to both reliable air conditioner operation and health.
- Drainage system and pan: During the normal condensation process, an air conditioner produces a significant amount of water as a by-product. In a central AC system, there is a primary system of pipes, often made of PVC, which carry this condensate water to the outside of the building. This piping needs periodic flushing to prevent it from getting stopped up with the algae and similar growth. At a minimum, this maintenance should be done by your service company during your annual system tune-up.
SEER Ratings
Today’s central air conditioning systems are much more efficient than their predecessors. The industry uses a rating called SEER for central systems, which is an acronym for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. Essentially, a higher SEER rating means the air conditioner uses energy more efficiently. A higher SEER rating typically results in lower monthly utility bills for the owner or occupant. A central air conditioning unit rated at 13 SEER uses almost a third less electricity than a 10 SEER system. Some outside air conditioning units are rated at a range, such as 14/15 SEER, depending on what type of indoor equipment they are paired with. For example, if paired with a manufacturer recommended evaporator coil and a variable speed furnace, an outside unit could be rated as a 15 SEER system. Otherwise, the rating would be 14 SEER.
