AC Components Installation & Repair in Milford & Fairfield, CT
An air conditioner removes heat from inside your home air and cools it, providing the maximum indoor comfort. But that's not it. It also dehumidifies by reducing the volume of moisture from the air, cleans the air by removing allergen and debris particles from the airflow where they attach to the filter, and much more. So understanding a few of its basic components and how they work can help you identify a problem or malfunction when it occurs.

Important Parts of an AC System & Their Functions
Refrigerant/Coolant
Refrigerant is a special fluid that moves through an air conditioner’s cooling tubes and copper coils, connecting the inside unit to the outside unit. It absorbs heat from indoor air, changing states from gas to liquid. After absorbing heat from the inside air, the refrigerant travels to the outdoor unit and pushes heat outdoors and then changes back to its gaseous state and travels back indoors. After the refrigerant gets cold again, an indoor fan blows air over the cold coils and then circulates cold air through the home. This cycle repeats every time the air conditioner is on.
Compressor
The compressor is located on the hot side. Its main function is to pressurize refrigerant. The compressor is a large electric pump repressurizing the refrigerant gas to convert it back into a liquid. It assists the condenser, while the expansion valve assists the evaporator.
Condenser
The condenser coil is in the outdoor air conditioning unit. It receives the high-pressure, high-temperature refrigerant from the compressor. When the refrigerant releases heat energy with the aid of the condenser fan, it blows air over the coils. As the heat leaves the refrigerant to the outside environment, it turns back into a liquid where it then flows to the expansion valve, which depressurizes the refrigerant and cools it down.
Expansion Valve
The expansion valve is located between the evaporator and condenser coils. Its main function is to regulate the refrigerant flow into the evaporator. It removes pressure from the liquid refrigerant allowing the conversion into gas to occur in the evaporator.
Evaporator Coil
Evaporator coils are very important to an air conditioner. The copper tubes receive the depressurized, liquid refrigerant from the expansion valve. When your indoor air blows over the cold coils, the heat from inside the home gets absorbed. Just like the condenser coils need the help of the condenser fan to facilitate heat transfer, the evaporator coils rely on the indoor air handler’s fan to blow air over the coils. As the refrigerant absorbs heat from the indoor air, it starts to evaporate to form a vapor.
Other Components
There are many more components of an air conditioner such as fans, valves, sensors, and so on but these five components are the core.
