Study Notes

Air Conditioner Functions

The primary function of an air conditioner is to cool and dehumidify the air in a room or building.

Refrigerants

The most commonly used refrigerant in modern air conditioners is R-410A, a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) that replaced ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs).

Evaporator Coil

The evaporator coil, also known as the indoor coil, is the part of the air conditioner that absorbs heat from the room's air and transfers it to the refrigerant, allowing the air to be cooled.
The evaporator coil is usually located in the indoor unit of a split-system air conditioner or in the air handler of a packaged air conditioner.
