How Air Conditioners Work

[shellybirdy]

interesting video and very informative

[woodsofsteven]

Same principle actually for the fire extinguisher.(CO2) haha.

I have the same question as tnguyen318, “ We need to get real explaining how the air conditioner work. How does an air conditioner take air from a room? No air conditioner takes air from my room. “ I can feel the cool air being blown into the room to cool my house but I cannot see/understand how you can say that the hot air is “ Taken away” ? Or do you mean to say that the hot air inside my house is “ Cooled (?) because of the cold air being blown in to the hot room? Btw thank you tnguyen318 :)

better explanation than the "HowThingWork" video

[plpearl]

LOL a/c is this simple....... When you compress anything it gets hot...... the hot freon runs through the outdoor coil, most of the heat gets dissapated outside....... then the freon runs to the indoor coil, and the preesure drops. When you release pressure on anything, it get's cold. The blower simply blows air through the indoor coil, and wala.... cool air. I am a claims adjuster for a/c system claims, and am so sick of people giving shitty examples of how systems work!

[plpearl]

@plpearl lol oops, i meant pressure XD

[dragonfire836]

@plpearl Ok so the hot air from a room evaporates the refrigerant, that process cools the air and that air gets blown back into the room? Then the hot air travels into the condensor and gets blown outside. Is that right?

We need to get real explaining how the air conditioner work. How does an air conditioner take air from a room? No air conditioner takes air from my room.

I have a portable wall air conditioner just like this one in the video. In the winter time when the weather is cold, I take the A/C out of the wall and turn it the other way so the condenser is inside my house and the evaporator is outside, so I can stay warm. And vice versa in the summer time. lol

YES! my homework is now complete baby! time to play some Xbox 360! :D

[702forever]

@saz2k9 dude i need to get my hw on air conditioning finished so i could go on xbox live too.

[saz2k9]

@702forever Lol! xD

0:24 gas isnt compressed into a liquid, how could it condense into a liquid if youre compressing it and adding more heat to it

[MrPMG1994]

@abcd19263 The video is confusing. The refrigerant condenses because when it is passing through the outdoor coils it is loses heat to the environment, just enough to make it condense. During condensation, it loses even more heat to the environment. The compressor simply makes the gas hotter so it loses more heat to the environment.

[DarthHater100]

@abcd19263 the gas is condensed into a liqid, but heat isn't being added to it. It becomes hot when the gas is forced tp be a liquid and when something is hot it is giving off heat (and when something's cold, it is absorbing heat)

Nice video graphics but lousy teacher---talks too fast to be effective. Maybe next time just show the graphics, print the explanatory words, and ask the guy to shut up.

[wisestfoolalive]

thank god for the pause button lol

[MercMaster101]

im so confused, how the $%@$@ does it work?!?!

[dnl5649]

now what about the accumulator and reciever drier?

[ktrashou]

@dnl5649 the accumulator is like a filter that doesn't let the liquid get to the compressor and is located after the evaporator and before the compressor and im not sure about the receiver drier but i think what is does is prevent oil to pass through the expansion valve. and is between the condenser and the expansion valve

[dnl5649]

@ktrashou the reciever drier keeps the oil from being beat up into little bubbles and getting mixed in with the freon. i guess to keep the compressor properly lubricated

The demonstration teaching is not enough slow down + english is my second language! but now day teacher are not good anniway,just money and their 3 month summer vacancy is their goal :-(

evryone wanna be a teacher for those 2 reason!

[BLIGHTonSOCIETY]

@spectreduloft nah man, not quite

[Xyberfaust]

Not a big deal since its on youtube and I can pause, but if I was watching this one time: S L O W T H E F U C K D O W N. It just keeps going through the stEps like DA DA DA DA DA DA. YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND I CAN'T CONCENTRATE, MY MIND IS NOT IN THE SCENE WHEN YOU DON'T SHUT THE FUCK UP FOR A SECOND. YOU'RE A NICE GUY BUT YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE TO WORK WITH STUDENTS. THAT'S WHAT THAT IS MAN. I'M NOT ASKING , I'M TELLING YOU.

[harmankardonbose]

the freon gas animation was going backwards

[PreludeSi91]

i have small brain..too fast i need a better slow down video .thanks for sharing though.

[Bistro223]

good explanation, could have been slower,  spending more time on each step, but not bad.

[turbotrauma]

i always knew there was a hamster wheel in there

[DrinkThunderbird]

@turbotrauma I have an idea for a film. It's called "A Day Without a Hamster." Just what would we do without 'em?

[maarthumka]

yaaa too fast...........

[timanonymous]

The video talked too fast for me to think about the process.
