The air conditioning system comprises of four units. It includes an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser and an expansion device. They work constantly to maintain a low temperature that I able to transform the air into cold air and decrease the temperature of the room. The evaporator evaporates the refrigerant. It then enters the compressor where it is compressed using the surrounding energy, taken from the air, cooling it.

Once it is in the expansion device, it releases the temperature. The cycle continues until the thermostat reaches the specific temperature. After that, the system starts working on and off to maintain the temperature, rather than cooling it further.

There are four parts of an air conditioning system. These parts include an evaporator, followed by a compressor. After that, a condenser takes place and finally, there is an expansion device. The air conditioning system is quite an important that is taught in Thermodynamics.

In the evaporator, the refrigerant evaporates and enters the compressor where it gets compressed and the energy is absorbed from the surroundings hence resulting in the cooling effect. Finally, it expands in the expansion device hence releasing the temperature out. This is how any air conditioning or cooling device works, which includes the air conditioners that we use in home and workplaces.
