how dose the condenser air cooler work how does it get your a/c cool with the free on?

Question

its for a daly Q/A in my class

Answer 1

The compressor just moves the refrigerant through the system. The refrigerant is normally a liquid in it's natural state. When in the A/C system the compressor pumps the gas state of the refrigerant through the A/C system under pressure, the orifice tube is nothing but a filter, catching particles of dirt if there are any in the system. When the liquid refrigerant reaches the evaporator core inside the vehicle, the warm air flowing over the coils of the evaporator causes the refrigerant to absorb the heat from the air, the absorbed heat causes the refrigerant to boil, turning it into a gas, heat will always travel to the coolest point. The refrigerant gas then travels to the compressor where it is pumped through the condensor in the front of the vehicle. The air flowing over the condensor coils causes the gas refrigerant to cool, which turns it back into a liquid, where it goes through the accumulator and is dried of any moisture in the system and the process begins all over again. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

There are four main parts to an air conditioner: a compressor, a condenser coil (a radiator outside), an expansion valve, and an evaporator coil (a 'radiator' inside). Inside the tubes is a gas good for refrigeration because of its thermal properties, like Freon (R-12) or R-134.

The cycle goes like this: Assume you're starting with room temperature Freon at a certain pressure level. The compressor feeds the Freon into the condenser coils, where it becomes a warm high pressure gas and eventually to a hot liquid (as density increases, so does the temperature). While this is happening, the condenser coil's fins absorb heat from the Freon to be carried off by the outside air.

At the end of the condenser, the expansion valve, which the liquid has been backing up against, lets the cooled Freon out to vaporize and return to the original lower pressure, leaving it much colder than when we started. On its way through the evaporator coil, the Freon picks up heat that the coil's fins have absorbed from the inside air and returns to the compressor to repeat the cycle.

Answer 3

A vapor compressor is used to bring the freon to a liquid state. The liquid freon is expanded to a gas again in the evaporator and picks up heat from the air inside the space of the vehicle cab. The heated freon gas from the evaporator is then compressed and as it passes through the condenser the heat the freon picked up from the interior of the vehicle at the evaporator is lost to outside air. Think of the work the ac is doing as pumping the interior heat out of the interior and into the outside.

Answer 4

Heat pumps air conditioning do not cool air; they remove heat and move it some where else. house units from inside the heater A/C in the hallway to outside condenser and fan unit. Freon just happens to be a good GAS to do that with. Air cools as it passes your hand blowing Thur a straw. Freon as it passes an (orifice) small hole and expands grabs heat out of air in the heater cabinet and inside fan blower with coils of copper tubing called an evaporator. The heated freon travels down the larger tube to the outside condenser compressor fan thing. The larger tube gos to the compressor/motor and gets forced Thur coils outside under pressure fan blowing freon wants go give up heat, then the little hose takes the freon back to the inside, starts all over again

Answer 5

You should research this other then here. The compressor compresses the freon then lets it go thru a smaller orifice. Try taking a can of computer dust spray. The gas inside is compressed. When you push the button the gas is pushed out under pressure.The gas that comes out transfers energy by cooling off when it suddenly tries to fill a larger area. The A/C compressor does the same thing. When the gas cools it gathers moisture. The job of the condenser is to filter out moisture.

Answer 6

Simplified,,,,,,,, Liquid refrigerant is pumped under high pressure (From the compressor) through copper lines,(liquid line)(High-side) It is sprayed, using a few different types of things,(Orifice)(Expansion Valve) as the liquid is sprayed and turned back to a vapor or gas, at the evaporator(inside unit) it gets cold.. The fan blows across the coil (Looks similar to a radiator in your car) and cools house. As the house air blows across this coil, Heat is adsorbed in the refrigerant. as it is being pulled back to the compressor under low pressure, Its once again compressed back into a liquid and repeats this cycle. I think I simplified it ??? You tell me

Answer 7

well funny you asked, the condensor uses outside air moving through it to reduce the tempurature of the high side of the a.c. then it proceeds through an expansive valve/ orfice tube to move into the low side evaporator core where heat is put back into it, this is how we get cold air. now when your in class figure out which side is gas and which side is liquid
