An air conditioning system works in a cycle. One side of the system is considered the high pressure side and the other side is considered the low pressure side. The air condition compressor can be viewed as the center line between these "sides" of the system. Refrigerant R-12 or R-134a (the most common types of refrigerant used in mobile A/C systems) remains at rest in the components an lines of the system until you turn on your A/C. At that point the electromagnetic clutch on the compressor engages and draws refrigerant (in a gas/liquid form) into it to be pumped throughout the system. Upon leaving the compressor the refrigerant has been compressed and thereby heated up resulting in it being transformed into a gaseous state. The refrigerant then travels into the condenser which removes heat from the refrigerant in an effort to return it to a liquid form. From the condenser the refrigerant will often pass through an expansion valve or an orifice (the other component in the system which divides the high an low pressure "sides") where it it "metered" to change it from High pressure on the compressor outlet side to low pressure. After the expansion valve the refrigerant moves into the evaporator. The evaporator is the component that actually removes heat from the air being forced through it by your vehicle's blower fan which pushes "cooled" or "conditioned" air through your vents. From the evaporator, the refrigerant (now mostly in gas form again) travels through a reciever-drier with removes moisture caused by condensation (which may have resulted from the heating and cooling of the refrigerant) before it returns once again to the compressor to repeat the cycle.

A day and night air conditioning system does not work at all as it is a scam and it is really the same system. There are no difference to its operating systems.
It uses a vacume
Portable air conditioning is great for work or any place where you have different preferences than other people. It would not, however, be a good replacement for a home air conditioning system.
Contact the company which installed your air conditioning system. From there, request to have a service man come out and check that your air conditioning system is functioning properly.
NO! You would never put propane in an air conditioning system! For air conditioning to work it needs FREON. Depending on your car you need to find out what kind of freon it requires, as well.
Air condition is not cool because it might be leaking. If there are any leaks in an air conditioning system it will not work.
No, there is no blower or duct work. You can't chill the water in the heating system and get cold air out of it.
A manual air conditioning system is one where you can turn it off and on when you want and control the temperature at which it is set.
Yes, this prevents your air conditioning system from freezing over, similar to a frost free fridge. almost every air conditioning system works like this.
does the fan work? is the system charged with the refrigerant?
The air comes from the air outside and the air conditioning system in the car turns this into cold or warm air.
