To understand how an AC works , one needs to understand the thermodynamic phenomena that occur : 1.Heat travels from HOT to COLD naturally. 2.Boiling point of a liquid depends on both temperature and surrounding pressure. Water boils at 100 degr C / 1 bar atm pressure. If you lower the atm pressure below 1 bar, it will boil at less than 100 degr C. 3.When a liquid ABSORBS heat it EVAPORATES. When vapor releases heat, it CONDENSES 4.If a liquid is compressed, the pressure increases, temperature increases while volume decreases. So , when the refrigerant (liquid+vapor) gets into the evaporator (inside the house ) , it absorbs the heat from that room , hence , it evaporates . Now, in order for condensation to occur in the Condenser(outside the house), the now vapor refrigerant(hot) needs to be hotter than the outside air so that to give away the heat (see point 1 and 3 from above) and condense (become liquid again). For this to happen, the compressor compresses the vapor refrigerant thus increasing its temperature (see point 4 ) . When the compressed vapor refrigerant enters the condenser , it releases some of the heat into the surrounding air which has a lower temperature ( see point 1 ), and transforming into a liquid ( condensation ) . The liquid now passes through an expansion valve ,where its pressure is reduced and the liquid begins to boil (SOME vapors form) thus releasing some of its energy (heat) becoming even colder.Now we have a mix of cold liquid+vapor ready to repeat the cycle .
Air conditioners can negatively impact the environment in the same way that other machines that burn fossil fuels do: by emitting harmful by-product gases into the atmosphere. Most air conditioners are fueled by electricity and use a refrigerant that results in gaseous emissions that contribute to global warming and ozone layer depletion. In fact, some studies predict that by 2050, roughly 25 percent of global warming will be caused by air conditioning.

The only thing you need to know is, there is no such a thing as "cold energy". Cold is simply the lack of heat. So if you want to know the simple way how your AC works. It doesnt generate cold but simply transfer the heat inside your room to outside. Now with the lack of heat in your room, it will naturaly feel "cold" .
@@markequinox it's blowing air with "lower temperature" while simultaneously blowing air with higher temperature outside. The heat inside your room didn't disappear out of thin air but only *moved* outside.
I don't like this video. It could've been two minutes longer, with some simple schematics. The way it is produced, you are lost unless you really got what was told immediately before the current thing being explained.
I love how the narrator claims it’s simple, then casually explains thermal dynamics, pressure increasing temperature and evaporation, I hear him saying the words, I’m still stuck at level 1.
Bryan Lee when you press two opposing sides of a spring together, you are compressing it. Similar thing happens but with Freon gas. In the physical world, as a gas is compressed, it also increases in temperature. Once that compressed gas is cooled, and it is then allowed to decompress via the expansion valve. As compressed gas is introduced to a lower pressure, it naturally cools, giving the evaporator the coolness it needs to blow air across the coils to blow the cold air into your house.
Compression: The cycle starts when the compressor compresses the refrigerant gas, raising its pressure and temperature. Condensation: The high-pressure, high-temperature refrigerant gas then flows to the condenser coils located outside the building. As outdoor air blows over these coils, it helps to cool down the refrigerant, causing it to condense into a high-pressure liquid. This process releases heat from the refrigerant into the outdoor air. Expansion: The high-pressure liquid refrigerant now moves through the expansion valve, which restricts its flow and causes a sudden drop in pressure. As the refrigerant passes through this valve, it expands rapidly, becoming a low-pressure, cool liquid. This cooling process prepares the refrigerant to absorb heat from the indoor air. Evaporation: The cool liquid refrigerant then enters the evaporator coils inside the building. Indoor air is blown over these coils by a fan, causing the refrigerant to evaporate into a low-pressure gas. As the refrigerant evaporates, it absorbs heat from the indoor air, cooling it down in the process. The now-warm refrigerant gas is then drawn back into the compressor to start the cycle again. Thank me later :)
In HVAC School and this video helped a lot. Basically your AC doesn't make cold air. It simply transports the "hot" air inside the living space to the outside space by using refrigerant as a medium. 1. Compressor inlet receives GASEOUS REFRIGERANT(Refrigerant now hot and under pressure) & Pumps it into the condenser coils. 2. In the condenser coils refrigerant is now liquid. And heat starts to leave (Gas gives off heat when changed from gas to liquid). This giving off of heat is expedited by a fan or blower at the condenser coils. 3. The refrigerant goes through a metering device like an orifice and becomes low pressure again as it enters the evaporator. 4. At the evaporator coils, another state change happens to the refrigerant, going from liquid back to gas (liquid absorbs heat when it changes from liquid to gas). The gas refrigerant is whats absorbing the heat in your home and condenser expels it outside. Your AC does not create cold air, its basically a system that transports heat. 5. The gaseous refrigerant then enters the compressor again where it starts the cycle all over, constantly just removing heat energy from your home. WOW, HVAC School is paying off so far. This stumped me before. Cant wait to graduate and get out there in the field. 40K in student loan debt from college, didt even graduate, now I'm going to trade school to learn skill to make some good money.

1.Compressor inlet receives room temperature with low pressure(pressure already reduced in expansion valve.). 2.condenser will reduce the heat coming from coppressor.
I am at Monroe Community College in the HVAC degree right now. In the most plain terms, it is all about moving heat from one place to another like in a refrigerator taking the unwanted heat from either the door being open, hot food stuck in, or any heat that finds a way in and extracting it to another place probably being your kitchen. If you want to know more about how pressure and temperature correlate look up Charle's Law and Boyle's Law. Compressors don't die, they are murdered usually. Unlike gas, liquid can't compress (think of a belly flop into a pool and how the water feels like a solid). The vapor increasing in temperature is called superheat which is a sensible type of heat (can be measured with with thermometer) where the change in state between liquid/gas in the condenser and evaporator is latent heat (phase change). On the contrary, cooling the liquid is subcooling. TXVs are not the simple type of expansion valve (also called metering device), the simple ones are capillary tubes. Where TXVs have a temperature sensor between the evaporator and compressor (discharge line) to regulate superheating to a specified range, a capillary in plain is sight is just a looping coil with no way to control the amount of liquid getting through. The TXV regulates, where the capillary tube just merely keeps pissing refrigerant.
Nah you got it wrong. It's expelling heat from one part and absorbing heat from the other. In other to absorb heat from the evaporator it creates something that would have turned to ice if the fans blowing it inside the room wasn't there. Since the fan is there ,it Blow's it in just in time before the ice builds up. But then there would still be ice, so that's where there is a pipe to leak out the water outdoors. Lol the guy couldn't explain coz of time but well
Well everyone is "dumb" at some point. Smart people admit they know nothing about something to open up their minds to learn something new. A person that "thinks" he is smart, will start to question themselves for not understanding on the first try, blaming genetics. Just admit that you don't understand and take the time and effort to understand. It took a lot of effort from even the best scientists with brilliant minds, through trial and error, to even get to the moon--they didn't get it the first try either. Every trial that failed didn't discourage them, because they knew they were getting close to the answer with every failure.
@@axeljmiller3757 for me it was locks. How do locks work? Cool little mechanical puzzles. Even got some clear acrylic ones where you can see what happens inside.
Compressing raises temp. Stuff gets compressed. It heats up. Pipe moves hot stuff outside. Hot stuff goes away. Warm stuff comes inside. A part of the pipe that is small cools it. It cools it by letting the coolent sweat(evaporate and use up energy).

@@prettycureforever7102 lol you don't learn how air conditioners work in a standard public education. Plenty of people don't even take physics and don't know that liquid temp increases as pressure increases (and liquid temp lowers as pressure lowers), which is the fundamental law of physics (or thermodynamics or whatever) that ACs take advantage of.
Whenever I feel low, I always come to youtube, and read the comments of the most funniest beings on earth, I really appreciate their efforts. These guys really deserve a Medel 😂😂
1 min 22 seconds in and I already understood more than I ever did from my Refrigeration and Air Conditioning textbook. If you're left wondering about how do to get kids interested in STEM, this video is just one of many examples.
That's where the trickier part is, to understand it better and easy let's first address the tricky part. As the bulb works with the exit part of evaporator coil, needle works with the entry of it. By taking the input from the bulb at the exit, needle adjusts itself at the the entry of the evaporator coil to determine how coldly or hotly should it send the registrant(Liquid+Vapour) into evaporator coil. For suppose, if the bulb isn't recieving the refrigerant at high temperatures than the room temperature then it let's the needle know that it's time to decrease it's inlet valve size in order to make the refrigerant even more cooler while entering the evaporator, so that the higher room temperature around the evaporator will help refrigerant evaporate into vapour state completely while leaving the bulb.
@Naleen Silva Not exactly. Yes, the invertor system(compressor) controls the temperature of evaporator. While TXV only makes sure of sending back the liquid from the evaporator in its purest vapour form to the compressor. TXV uses Bulb to interact with evaporator's temperature and adjusts it's needles valve size.
Great video. At some point you may lose the line of reasoning and the physics implied (as each part demands proper assessment) and you end up looking that some device is important because "it does some stuff that helps with other stuff" but you can always get back and tackle each segment or delve deeper into the mentioned concepts.
Best job i've seen of explaining in clear and concise terms the principles of operation of a mechanism that bewilders most people, even the otherwise "mechanically inclined" among us. the awesome cutaway views of components in operation really reinforced the narrative as well. thanks for sharing this!
Great knowledge, learnt alot in 7 min than in a school. By the way, how would one heat a room in the case of winter, reverse the coolant flow or use a different system? If so, which one?
The BLDC motor of the compressor is magnetically unbalanced with the magnet poles and stator slots configuration shown in the video at 1:36. There should be 12 magnet poles on the rotor.
Was wondering if I wouldn't have understood anything from this very well done video if I wasn't already an engineering graduate and a licensed mechanical engineer. Reading the comments gave me some relief that my time in uni wasn't a complete waste 😂
Compressor is like a pressure cooker, higher ambient pressure enables the coolant to stay at higher than normal temperature which enables heat to be driven out into the relatively cooler atmosphere. The expansion valve does the opposite, it decreases the pressure of the coolant so it's boiling point is lowered and it becomes a gas easily and the energy required to become a gas from liquid is achieved from the coolant temperature itself, so it drops. Combining two processes happening at the same time is what air conditioning is 😁
hi at 6:32, when the outgoing refrigerant is high temperature, the pressure in ball will increase and push down the needle (not causing the needle to move upwards). the downward needle will allow more refrigerant to flow into evaporator coil. this is based on other sources. I stand corrected. thanks
Its simple. The basic principle is that when liquid evaporates, It absorbs the heat around it and cools the surrounding. That's why you feel very cold when you come out of a shower. The water on your skin evaporates and absorbs the heat on the skin and cools your skin. The same principle is used in ACs and Refrigerators. Here instead of water, a liquid (refrigerant like freon (cfc)) is used. It has very low boiling point and very good thermal conductivity. Because of its low boiling point, it evaporates easily in the room temporature. This refrigerant is pushed into the evaporator ( ac unit inside the house) in liquid form. The evaporator coil is continuously blown by a fan (ac unit inside the house) and the air blown by the fan passes through the evaporator coils and enters the space which needs to be cooled (room). When the liquid refrigerant enters the evaporator coil, it evaporates into vapour because the coils are exposed to the normal air blown by the fan.( low boiling point). As it evaporates, it absorbs the heat in the air blown by the fan and cools the air. That cool air enters your room and reduces the temperature. That evaporated refrigerant from the evaporator needs to be turned back into its liquid state because the ac/refrigerator system is a closed cycle. You need to reuse the refrigerant in a continuous cycle. So the evaporated refrigerant is pushed into the compressor driven by a motor (ac unit outside the house). The compressor compresses the refrigerant vapor and turns it back into highly compressed gas. But when the vapor is compressed, it becomes hot. Now the highly compressed hot refrigerant contains all the heat it absorbed in the evaporator and all the heat which is produced during compression. It needs to be cooled. So it is pushed into the condenser where the hot pressurised gas is cooled by passing through coils being cooled by a fan (ac unit outside house). When it gets cooled, hot compressed refrigerant gas condenses back into liquid. This liquid is sent back to the evaporator again for evaporation for further cooling the room and hence completing a cycle. Now there is a device called thermostatic expansion valve between condensor and evaporator. It basically controls the amount of flow of liquid refrigerant into evaporator. When the room is hot, refrigerant can easily evaporate so the expansion valve allows more flow of liquid refrigerant into evaporator. But when the room is already cold, the refrigerant doesn't vaporise easily like when the room was hot. So the expansion valve reduces the flow of liquid refrigerant into evaporator. This control of flow is important to ensure that refrigerant always leaves the evaporator in a vapor state. Because if the refrigerant leaves the evaporator in a liquid state, it will enter the compressor in liquid state. Since you cannot compress liquid, allowing liquid into compressor will damage it and reduce its efficiency of compressing. That's why the expansion valve always keeps an eye on the evaporator outlet using a sensing bulb and maintains the liquid flow to evaporator ensuring complete evaporation inside evaporator. Your ac/refrigerator contains smart monitoring system and controllers to maintain the required temp by controlling the compressor motor speed hence controlling the flow speed of refrigerant in the cycle. This is how ACs and refrigerators work. I am a marine engineer and I work with big refrigerating plants in ship. I hope this helps you understand.
I'm confused about 6:04 the video mentions that "moving the needle up makes more restriction and lowers temperature", but the diaphragm actually pushes down the needle, allowing more refrigerant to pass (wide restriction), as explained on Wikipedia en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_expansion_valve At 5:52 the video itself says "when the bulb is hot, the needle will move down", so which is it?
Very simple explanation, in short terms: The compressor creates a pressure differential which results in flow The superheated refrigerant leaving the discharge of the compressor then passes through the condenser where 3 things happen: 1. Reject superheat (sensible) 2. Condense the refrigerant from vapor to liquid (latent) 3. Subcool (sensible) Leaving the condenser should be 100% liquid refrigerant, which then enters the metering device. A metering device is a restriction. The restriction causes a drop in pressure which also causes the saturation temperature of the refrigerant to decrease. When the refrigerant temperature is higher than the saturated temp, the refrigerant boils/flashes which causes an endothermic reaction of which the latent change in temp causes a change of state which absorbs energy, hence the "cooling" of the refrigerant exiting the metering device As we now have superheated/saturated refrigerant mix entering the evaporator, it absorbs heat to continue boiling/flashing the refrigerant. From which the superheated refrigerant now enters the compressor where the cycle is repeated. I'm 20 and know this by heart
No, you can't. refrigerators have at best a 50% duty cycle that means it can only run 5 minutes out of 10 before it has to shut off. an AC unit has a 100% duty cycle meaning it can run continuously without damage.
@@arabcampers9554 if your room is as small as a refrigerator, then yes. The compressor and design is for a small 2-3cu m capacity, compared to a window or split type airconditioner that's designed for room/s. You can try, but it would be highly inefficient and you'll almost never reach the coollness desired.
"Condenser fan makes it easier" to remove heat from condenser coil. Actually, if you didn't have a fan or it fails, your Conpressor will OVER HEAT AND GO OFF ON THERMO. So, it is necessary to the function, not just an "Aid". Also a Blower fan for your indoor evaporator, or your coil will end up frozen solid.
very interesting it really shows how aircondioner works before I thought that the unit will give us cool in every room but the other way around the evaporator just simply absorb or lower the heat temperature inside the room and push it out through the condenser and junk into the sorroundings so that what's left inside the room is cool 😊
I remember reading a headline years back about the impact of global warming on air conditioning. It's understood that heat needs to be rejected to the surroundings at an ambient temperature that should be lower than that of the coolant in the condenser. So if hypothetically, the ambient temperature keeps rising, does it mean that the compressor will need to increase the pressure of the vapor coolant even further?
the now vapor refrigerant(hot) needs to be hotter than the outside air so that to give away the heat (see point 1 and 3 from above) and condense. this sounds like giving excess heat which we don't want specific heat capacity increases with pressure and this means it will give away more heat than it receives
You want the refrigerant to have as little heat as possible/practical when it enters the evaporator. That way it can absorb more heat and result in more cooling.
@@Redtooth75I meant compressor is giving extra heat to refrigerant which didn't make sense to me. I guess incrrasimg pressure just incrrase heat transfer speed and extra temperature is gone when volume in pipe increases
@gytoser801 heat and temperature are related but are not the same. An ideal compressor would not add any heat to the refrigerant but would still increase it's temperature. Temperature is the intensity or concentration of heat. When something is pressurized the heat is concentrated into a smaller area which increases temperature. It's the reverse of what the metering device does. The pressure drop causes a temperature drop, but the amount of heat remains the same. In real life the compressor does add some heat to the refrigerant due to inefficiencies. That is not desirable but it is also not avoidable because nothing can be perfect.

If you want to know more about how pressure and temperature correlate look up Charle's Law and Boyle's Law. Compressors don't die, they are murdered usually. Unlike gas, liquid can't compress (think of a belly flop into a pool and how the water feels like a solid). The vapor increasing in temperature is called superheat which is a sensible type of heat (can be measured with with thermometer) where the change in state between liquid/gas in the condenser and evaporator is latent heat (phase change). On the contrary, cooling the liquid is subcooling. TXVs are not the simple type of expansion valve (also called metering device), the simple ones are capillary tubes. Where TXVs have a temperature sensor between the evaporator and compressor (discharge line) to regulate superheating to a specified range, a capillary in plain is sight is just a looping coil with no way to control the amount of liquid getting through. The TXV regulates, where the capillary tube just merely keeps pissing refrigerant.
Nah you got it wrong. It's expelling heat from one part and absorbing heat from the other. In other to absorb heat from the evaporator it creates something that would have turned to ice if the fans blowing it inside the room wasn't there. Since the fan is there ,it Blow's it in just in time before the ice builds up. But then there would still be ice, so that's where there is a pipe to leak out the water outdoors. Lol the guy couldn't explain coz of time but well
i just realized that I'm dumb. 😵
Ewan Qu naw dude repetition is key 🔑. Watch it more than once and other video
Well everyone is "dumb" at some point. Smart people admit they know nothing about something to open up their minds to learn something new. A person that "thinks" he is smart, will start to question themselves for not understanding on the first try, blaming genetics. Just admit that you don't understand and take the time and effort to understand. It took a lot of effort from even the best scientists with brilliant minds, through trial and error, to even get to the moon--they didn't get it the first try either. Every trial that failed didn't discourage them, because they knew they were getting close to the answer with every failure.

This video is actually confusing!
This is perfectly explained with amazing visuals. And I have no idea what's going on.
Compressing raises temp.
Stuff gets compressed. It heats up. Pipe moves hot stuff outside. Hot stuff goes away. Warm stuff comes inside. A part of the pipe that is small cools it. It cools it by letting the coolent sweat(evaporate and use up energy).

I build a few of these every day at work.
Our “conditioners” actually dry the air with these same principles and a few more. Instead of an “inside coil” we use heat exchangers with drains to extract the water.
And we use a danfoss condensing unit in every one of out dryers.
Engineers are truly the ones who change the world, not some comedians or celebrities.
Be careful, the left wing wackos hate when the truth is told out loud.
Congratulations. You did an amazing job. I was looking for a video like this for years but none could help me as much as this. Keep up the good work
I love how you colour coded the coil lines to show when and where the temperature changes occur. Thank you for this educational video.

In the Middle East every summer we must worship the inventor of air conditioning I think he is the greatest man in history he saved our lives
I have some questions
Questions:
-How does the evaporator suck in heat from the room even thought if you go and stand infront of every air conditioner you feel air hiting you so that mean the evaporator push the air ?
-1:32 i searched what happen when a pressure is apply to liquid and it said ''it doesnt heat it up more but it concentrated the heat'' so it can be cool off by the fan is that correct?
-also if a vapor is hight pressure that mean it will be more soild but it wont turn to a liquid right? the condensor is the one that turn it to a liquid stat right?
-Also I am not sure
But this is the how the liquid/vapor travel
Evaporator ( Liqiud/ Vapor ) --> Compressor (Liquid) --> Condensor ( Liquid) --> Thermal Expansion Valve ( Liquid/Vapor)
is this right?
-Evaporator Job : Suck in heat ( is this correct )
-Compressor : Make Vapor/Liquid turn into Liquid with high pressure As well as Pushing the Liquid/Vapor Going ( is this correct)
-Condensor : Cool off the liquid( is this correct)
-Thermal Expansion Valve : Turn the liquid to vapor/liquid as well as making sure the refrigerant is not too cool or hot ( is this correct)
Thank for making this video

@@prettycureforever7102 lol you don't learn how air conditioners work in a standard public education.
Plenty of people don't even take physics and don't know that liquid temp increases as pressure increases (and liquid temp lowers as pressure lowers), which is the fundamental law of physics (or thermodynamics or whatever) that ACs take advantage of.
Didnt got anything but at least i know how its made

6:25 if I’m correct that means that the needle will adjust the pressure again to make sure that it all remains as gas.
That's where the trickier part is, to understand it better and easy let's first address the tricky part.
As the bulb works with the exit part of evaporator coil, needle works with the entry of it.
By taking the input from the bulb at the exit, needle adjusts itself at the the entry of the evaporator coil to determine how coldly or hotly should it send the registrant(Liquid+Vapour) into evaporator coil.
For suppose, if the bulb isn't recieving the refrigerant at high temperatures than the room temperature then it let's the needle know that it's time to decrease it's inlet valve size in order to make the refrigerant even more cooler while entering the evaporator, so that the higher room temperature around the evaporator will help refrigerant evaporate into vapour state completely while leaving the bulb.
@@ambidekstrusful, the inverter system also controls the evaporator temperature and so does the TXV. How do they collaborate?
@Naleen Silva Not exactly. Yes, the invertor system(compressor) controls the temperature of evaporator. While TXV only makes sure of sending back the liquid from the evaporator in its purest vapour form to the compressor. TXV uses Bulb to interact with evaporator's temperature and adjusts it's needles valve size.
Great video. At some point you may lose the line of reasoning and the physics implied (as each part demands proper assessment) and you end up looking that some device is important because "it does some stuff that helps with other stuff" but you can always get back and tackle each segment or delve deeper into the mentioned concepts.
MY BS&C EXAM IS TOMORROW AND I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT HOW AC WORKS..THIS HELPED ME A LOT!!!THANK YOUUUUU
You have no idea how many times I played the video only to quit after 3-4 mins into the video. Hope someday I finish it and understand it .
Best job i've seen of explaining in clear and concise terms the principles of operation of a mechanism that bewilders most people, even the otherwise "mechanically inclined" among us. the awesome cutaway views of components in operation really reinforced the narrative as well. thanks for sharing this!
Great knowledge, learnt alot in 7 min than in a school. By the way, how would one heat a room in the case of winter, reverse the coolant flow or use a different system? If so, which one?
The BLDC motor of the compressor is magnetically unbalanced with the magnet poles and stator slots configuration shown in the video at 1:36. There should be 12 magnet poles on the rotor.
Good point

THANKS! it's the 1st time in my LIFE that I have UNDERSTOOD the concept FULLY! :D
Thanks DANFOSS for the explanation of basic refrigeration system.
Honestly, I’m more confused than ever now.
Compressor is like a pressure cooker, higher ambient pressure enables the coolant to stay at higher than normal temperature which enables heat to be driven out into the relatively cooler atmosphere. The expansion valve does the opposite, it decreases the pressure of the coolant so it's boiling point is lowered and it becomes a gas easily and the energy required to become a gas from liquid is achieved from the coolant temperature itself, so it drops. Combining two processes happening at the same time is what air conditioning is 😁
Fr that's me like wtf😢
Brilliantly explained and animated! Thank you for making and sharing this.
Everything was going well...Unless Compressor jumped in...

hi
at 6:32, when the outgoing refrigerant is high temperature, the pressure in ball will increase and push down the needle (not causing the needle to move upwards).
the downward needle will allow more refrigerant to flow into evaporator coil.
this is based on other sources.
I stand corrected.
thanks
Thousands years of innovations and researches just into a machine. Thanks
I understood its so difficult to understand this.
So i passed it on to my dad!
Its simple. The basic principle is that when liquid evaporates, It absorbs the heat around it and cools the surrounding. That's why you feel very cold when you come out of a shower. The water on your skin evaporates and absorbs the heat on the skin and cools your skin. The same principle is used in ACs and Refrigerators. Here instead of water, a liquid (refrigerant like freon (cfc)) is used. It has very low boiling point and very good thermal conductivity. Because of its low boiling point, it evaporates easily in the room temporature. This refrigerant is pushed into the evaporator ( ac unit inside the house) in liquid form. The evaporator coil is continuously blown by a fan (ac unit inside the house) and the air blown by the fan passes through the evaporator coils and enters the space which needs to be cooled (room). When the liquid refrigerant enters the evaporator coil, it evaporates into vapour because the coils are exposed to the normal air blown by the fan.( low boiling point). As it evaporates, it absorbs the heat in the air blown by the fan and cools the air. That cool air enters your room and reduces the temperature. That evaporated refrigerant from the evaporator needs to be turned back into its liquid state because the ac/refrigerator system is a closed cycle. You need to reuse the refrigerant in a continuous cycle. So the evaporated refrigerant is pushed into the compressor driven by a motor (ac unit outside the house). The compressor compresses the refrigerant vapor and turns it back into highly compressed gas. But when the vapor is compressed, it becomes hot. Now the highly compressed hot refrigerant contains all the heat it absorbed in the evaporator and all the heat which is produced during compression. It needs to be cooled. So it is pushed into the condenser where the hot pressurised gas is cooled by passing through coils being cooled by a fan (ac unit outside house). When it gets cooled, hot compressed refrigerant gas condenses back into liquid. This liquid is sent back to the evaporator again for evaporation for further cooling the room and hence completing a cycle. Now there is a device called thermostatic expansion valve between condensor and evaporator. It basically controls the amount of flow of liquid refrigerant into evaporator. When the room is hot, refrigerant can easily evaporate so the expansion valve allows more flow of liquid refrigerant into evaporator. But when the room is already cold, the refrigerant doesn't vaporise easily like when the room was hot. So the expansion valve reduces the flow of liquid refrigerant into evaporator. This control of flow is important to ensure that refrigerant always leaves the evaporator in a vapor state. Because if the refrigerant leaves the evaporator in a liquid state, it will enter the compressor in liquid state. Since you cannot compress liquid, allowing liquid into compressor will damage it and reduce its efficiency of compressing. That's why the expansion valve always keeps an eye on the evaporator outlet using a sensing bulb and maintains the liquid flow to evaporator ensuring complete evaporation inside evaporator. Your ac/refrigerator contains smart monitoring system and controllers to maintain the required temp by controlling the compressor motor speed hence controlling the flow speed of refrigerant in the cycle. This is how ACs and refrigerators work. I am a marine engineer and I work with big refrigerating plants in ship. I hope this helps you understand.

I'm confused about 6:04 the video mentions that "moving the needle up makes more restriction and lowers temperature", but the diaphragm actually pushes down the needle, allowing more refrigerant to pass (wide restriction), as explained on Wikipedia en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_expansion_valve
At 5:52 the video itself says "when the bulb is hot, the needle will move down", so which is it?
We take so many things for granted which are basically marvels of human intelligennce that have made our lives so much comfortable.

Exactly same here
Lol
😂😂😂
me: *Hears the word valve*
head: *iggghhtt imma head out vroo*
I am so excited i want to know everything in just 1 minute.
Very simple explanation, in short terms:
The compressor creates a pressure differential which results in flow
The superheated refrigerant leaving the discharge of the compressor then passes through the condenser where 3 things happen:
1. Reject superheat (sensible)
2. Condense the refrigerant from vapor to liquid (latent)
3. Subcool (sensible)
Leaving the condenser should be 100% liquid refrigerant, which then enters the metering device.
A metering device is a restriction. The restriction causes a drop in pressure which also causes the saturation temperature of the refrigerant to decrease. When the refrigerant temperature is higher than the saturated temp, the refrigerant boils/flashes which causes an endothermic reaction of which the latent change in temp causes a change of state which absorbs energy, hence the "cooling" of the refrigerant exiting the metering device
As we now have superheated/saturated refrigerant mix entering the evaporator, it absorbs heat to continue boiling/flashing the refrigerant.
From which the superheated refrigerant now enters the compressor where the cycle is repeated.
I'm 20 and know this by heart
Your videos are so understanding. Please make a video on working of a satellite
So basically i can turn any refrigerator to air conditioning unit with small modification .
No, you can't. refrigerators have at best a 50% duty cycle that means it can only run 5 minutes out of 10 before it has to shut off. an AC unit has a 100% duty cycle meaning it can run continuously without damage.
Michael The-Pyro that why i said small modifications required my friend
Yes!
@@arabcampers9554 if your room is as small as a refrigerator, then yes. The compressor and design is for a small 2-3cu m capacity, compared to a window or split type airconditioner that's designed for room/s. You can try, but it would be highly inefficient and you'll almost never reach the coollness desired.
Just make a exhaust fan to evaporator. 👏
"Condenser fan makes it easier" to remove heat from condenser coil. Actually, if you didn't have a fan or it fails, your Conpressor will OVER HEAT AND GO OFF ON THERMO. So, it is necessary to the function, not just an "Aid". Also a Blower fan for your indoor evaporator, or your coil will end up frozen solid.
I love my field of work, may God increase my knowledge in it
very interesting it really shows how aircondioner works before I thought that the unit will give us cool in every room but the other way around the evaporator just simply absorb or lower the heat temperature inside the room and push it out through the condenser and junk into the sorroundings so that what's left inside the room is cool 😊

Me too....
@@rjv777 You also got hit with a yard stick?
When u saw physically, then u can understand
Don’t feel bad. You need to have studied thermodynamics to really understand this content. And it’s not an easy subject
I remember reading a headline years back about the impact of global warming on air conditioning. It's understood that heat needs to be rejected to the surroundings at an ambient temperature that should be lower than that of the coolant in the condenser. So if hypothetically, the ambient temperature keeps rising, does it mean that the compressor will need to increase the pressure of the vapor coolant even further?
the now vapor refrigerant(hot) needs to be hotter than the outside air so that to give away the heat (see point 1 and 3 from above) and condense.
this sounds like giving excess heat which we don't want
specific heat capacity increases with pressure and this means it will give away more heat than it receives
You want the refrigerant to have as little heat as possible/practical when it enters the evaporator. That way it can absorb more heat and result in more cooling.
@@Redtooth75I meant compressor is giving extra heat to refrigerant which didn't make sense to me. I guess incrrasimg pressure just incrrase heat transfer speed and extra temperature is gone when volume in pipe increases
@gytoser801 heat and temperature are related but are not the same. An ideal compressor would not add any heat to the refrigerant but would still increase it's temperature. Temperature is the intensity or concentration of heat. When something is pressurized the heat is concentrated into a smaller area which increases temperature. It's the reverse of what the metering device does. The pressure drop causes a temperature drop, but the amount of heat remains the same.
In real life the compressor does add some heat to the refrigerant due to inefficiencies. That is not desirable but it is also not avoidable because nothing can be perfect.
