Do air conditioners extract the cool air from the atmosphere as part the cooling process?

That's one way to look at it.
When a refrigerant is compressed it still contains the same amount of heat energy (don't confuse that with temperature, that's something else altoghether) that it had BEFORE it was compressed and since the volume is smaller, the temperature goes up. The state change (gas to liquid) also gives off a lot of heat, but don't let that part confuse you. The compressed (and heated) refrigerant is then passed through a coil of tubing and the heated refrigerant is cooled by the ambient air completing the gas to liquid state change.
Then the compressed refrigerant passes through an orfice (a restriction in the tube) and is allowed to "flash" back to a gas. Now it's at a much lower pressure and the volume of refrigerant now contains much less heat (again, not to be confused with temperature) that it did when it was a liquid. Another part of the process is referred to as the "heat of vaporization", which really cools things off, sort of like the cooling from sweat when you get hot.
But it's all a balance, since the cool air that was generated for the INSIDE of your car or house eventuall leaks out to the outside air, resulting in a net zero effect.

Where we can install the cooling tower And There is a company in which cooling tower is installed?
The Cooling tower is installed where the continuous heat rejection is required. Like process plants. Type is depends up on use & water property.
What is the cycle of heating rising and cooling and sinking called?
The process of Convection / subduction current
What the difference between process piping and utility piping?
Process piping contains the product or piping integral to the process of creating the product. Utility piping is supporting the process but is not integral to the process, typically fresh water, cooling water, steam, condensate
What are pumps used for?
Chemical pumps are intended to move and endure synthetic compounds and substance slurries. They are planned and developed to deal with substances with fluctuating degrees of thickness, destructiveness, and abrasiveness.
How do you extract diesel from crude oil?
Diesel (C15-C16 chains) is separated from crude oil through the process of fractional distillation. The temperature range for this distillation is between 250 and 300 degrees Celsius.
Why is vapor coming from your portable air conditioner?
All air conditioners create condensation during the cooling process. Portable air conditioners use that condensate to improve the efficiency of the process by spraying or dripping it on the condenser coils, helping to cool them more thoroughly. This creates the vapor you are referring to which would be visible if the outside temperature is cool enough.
Why is boiling a cooling process and condensation a warming process?
condensation is a cooling process by the way
Why cloudy days and nights are warmer than the cloudless one?
because night clouds prevent heat from escaping through the atmosphere and into space.And this process called radiational cooling
Why does air cool when it rises though the atmosphere?
As air rises it decompresses, as pressure decreases with increasing altitude. All gasses cool when decompressed. This process is called adiabatic cooling.
What process is used to extract a aluminum?
Electrolysis
What is the process used to extract titanium?
Reduction
What is process cooling?
evaporation Cooling is a decrease of the temperature of a system or material.
How vacuum is created in condenser?
vaccum is created i steam turbine after giving its heat to cooling water when it happens i mean rection of giving heat to cooling water energy is required to complete this process and that energy will drawn from surrounding atmosphere so in that way vaccum is created
Is condensation a cooling or warming process?
Condensation is the opposite of vaporization. When you sweat you are cooling your body off; therefore condensation is a warming process. Or Evaporation A+
How do you use word extract in a sentence?
The process used to extract oil from the oil sands in northern Canada is very costly. - Extract is a verb that means "To remove or take out by special means or by force." I use vanilla and orange extract when I bake a cake. - Extract is a noun: To withdraw (as a juice or fraction) by physical or chemical process
Do they have hose less portable air conditioners?
Yes, they do have hoseless portable air conditioners. Traditional portable air conditioners typically come with an exhaust hose that needs to be vented outside to expel hot air. However, advancements in technology have led to the development of hoseless or "ventless" portable air conditioners. These units use innovative cooling technologies that eliminate the need for an exhaust hose. Instead of venting hot air outside, they often use alternative methods such as evaporative cooling or self-contained cooling systems. Keep in mind that while hoseless portable air conditioners offer more flexibility in terms of placement, they may have limitations in cooling capacity compared to traditional units with exhaust hoses.
How do clouds form in the continuous process?
Sun rays hit water and it evaporates into air where it is carried up into the atmosphere. As the warm water vapor rises through the air a cooling process begins that forms clouds. The clouds dump the water back into ponds, lakes, and streams and the process continues.
