Portable Air Conditioners

Working Mechanism

• The unit employs a robust fan to draw warm air from the room through its intake vents.
• Inside the air conditioner resides a cooling coil filled with refrigerant, typically an HCFC or HFC compound. This refrigerant operates in a sealed system.
• The warm room air passes over the cooling coil. The refrigerant within the coil absorbs heat from the incoming air, causing it to evaporate and transform into a gas.
• A compressor within the unit compresses the gaseous refrigerant, elevating its temperature and pressure.
• The hot, high-pressure gas proceeds through a condenser coil situated outside the unit. In this phase, the refrigerant releases the previously absorbed heat into the surrounding air, leading it to condense into a high-pressure liquid.
• The high-pressure liquid refrigerant returns to the evaporator coil inside the unit. As room air continues to pass over this coil, the refrigerant evaporates once more, absorbing additional heat and effectively reducing the room's air temperature.
• Throughout the cooling process, moisture from the air condenses on the evaporator coil, contributing to dehumidification.
• The now-cooled and dehumidified air is released back into the room, creating a comfortable indoor environment.
• The hot air generated during the condensation process exits the unit through a flexible hose or exhaust duct.
