Air Conditioning

Air Conditioning (AC) refers to the process of controlling the temperature, humidity, and air quality in an indoor space to provide a comfortable environment. It typically involves the removal of heat and moisture from the interior of a room or building.

A standard air conditioning system works using a refrigeration cycle, which includes components such as:

• Compressor: Compresses refrigerant gas to increase its temperature and pressure.
• Condenser Coil: Releases heat to the outside as the refrigerant condenses into a liquid.
• Expansion Valve: Lowers the pressure of the refrigerant, cooling it.
• Evaporator Coil: Absorbs heat from indoor air, cooling it before circulating it back into the room.

Air conditioning systems can range from small portable units and split systems for homes to large centralized systems used in commercial buildings. Modern units often include features like air purification, programmable thermostats, and energy-efficient technologies.
