Air Conditioning Facts:

  • The typical central air conditioning system is a split system, with an outdoor air conditioning, or “compressor bearing unit” and an indoor coil, which is usually installed on top of the furnace in the home.
  • Using electricity as its power source, the compressor pumps refrigerant through the system to gather heat and moisture from indoors and remove it from the home.
  • Heat and moisture are removed from the home when warm air from inside the home is blown over the cooled indoor coil. The heat in the air transfers to the coil, thereby “cooling” the air.
  • The heat that has transferred to the coil is then “pumped” to the exterior of the home, while the cooled air is pumped back inside, helping to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature.
  • Central air conditioning can also be provided through a package unit or a heat pump.

How an Air Conditioner works:

The job of your home air conditioner is move heat from inside your home to the outside, thereby cooling off you and your home.

Air conditioners blow cool air into your home by pulling the heat out of the air. The air is cooled by blowing it over a set of cold pipes called an evaporator coil. The evaporator coil is filled with a liquid called a refrigerant or Freon, which changes from a liquid to a gas as it absorbs heat from the air. The refrigerant is pumped outside the house to another coil where it gives up its heat and changes back into a liquid. This outside coil is called the Condenser because the refrigerant is condensing from a gas back to a fluid. A pump, called a compressor, is used to move the refrigerant between the two coils and to change the pressure of the refrigerant so that the entire refrigerant evaporates or condenses in the appropriate coils.

What is a “TON” of Cooling?

A ton of cooling is defined as delivering 12,000 BTU/hour of cooling. The BTU is a unit of heating – or in this case, cooling – energy. It’s more important, however, to keep in perspective that a window air conditioner is usually less than one ton. A small home central air conditioner would be about two tons and a large one about five tons.

What Problems can my Air Conditioner have?

Air Conditioners are sized to meet a certain “load” on the house. They are designed to have certain amount of refrigerant/Freon. They are designed to have a certain amount of air flow across the coils. When any of these things changes, the system will have problems.

If you produce more heat indoors either from having more people or appliances or because of changes in the house, the air conditioning may not be able to keep up.

If the refrigerant charge on the system leaks out, it lowers the capacity of the system. You will simply get less cooling and system will not be able to keep up when the load gets high.

If airflow across the outdoor (condenser) coil is reduced, the ability to reject heat outdoors is reduced and the again the capacity of the system may go down, especially at higher outdoor temperatures. In dry climates, the same issues happen with regard to the indoor (evaporator) coil: higher airflow helps, lower airflow hurts. If the airflow gets too low the evaporator coil may freeze. This makes performance worse and can damage the compressor unit.
