Operating principle of air conditioning

Several important components and operating principles of air conditioning.

Main Components of the Outdoor Unit:

1. Compressor：The compressor is often referred to as the "heart" of the air conditioning system. While it does not directly cool or heat the air, it provides the driving force for refrigerant circulation. Like the human heart circulates blood, the compressor circulates refrigerant by compressing low-pressure gas into high-pressure, high-temperature gas.

2. Condenser：Located after the compressor, the condenser releases heat to the outside environment. In this component, the refrigerant changes from a high-pressure, high-temperature gas into a high-pressure, intermediate-temperature liquid.

3. Expansion Device (Capillary Tube or Expansion Valve)：This device reduces the pressure of the liquid refrigerant. It converts the refrigerant from a high-pressure, intermediate-temperature liquid to a low-pressure, low-temperature liquid, preparing it for the evaporator.

4. Four-Way Reversing Valve (in heating and cooling systems)：This valve enables the switching between cooling and heating modes by redirecting the refrigerant flow. It connects the compressor, condenser, and evaporator, and determines the direction of the refrigerant based on the mode selected.

The refrigerant—sometimes called the “working fluid”—is similar to blood in a human body. It continuously flows through each component, enabling heat exchange throughout the cycle.

1. Poor cooling efficiency at high temperatures

The outdoor unit is exposed to the sun for a long time. Due to the influence of high temperatures, the air conditioning exchange efficiency of the condenser becomes lower, and the cooling capacity of the air conditioner is greatly reduced. Especially in summer, the outdoor unit unit is exposed to the sun for a long time. The box temperature is close to 50 degrees, and the air conditioning exchange efficiency of the condenser becomes lower. The cooling capacity is greatly reduced. The cooling efficiency is very low, and the cooling speed is very slow. It is also the most power-consuming stage for air conditioners. At the same time, the air conditioner is easily damaged when running at high temperatures for a long time.

2. High power consumption, high electricity bill, short life, easy damage to parts, high maintenance costs

The compressor and the motor are the core components of the air conditioner, accounting for 30% and 10% of the total cost of the air conditioner respectively. Their power consumption accounts for more than 80% of the air conditioner's electricity consumption. The compressor has high temperature and poor heat dissipation, which will lead to consumption. Too much power, while the compressor continues to work at high temperatures, air conditioner accessories are more easily damaged, resulting in short air conditioner life and high maintenance costs.

3. Health problems such as air conditioning diseases

If air conditioners are not maintained and cleaned for a long time, they are prone to dust and clogging. There will be miscellaneous dust in the wind and poor air quality. Users who use air conditioners for a long time may easily cause air conditioning diseases (such as nasal congestion, dizziness and headache, sneezing, tinnitus, fatigue, memory loss, etc.), affecting your health.
