An air conditioner, as a system, is an exothermic device. The purpose of an air conditioner is to move thermal energy (heat) from one place to another (from inside the house to outside the house). A perfect air conditioner, that is, an air conditioner that requires no energy to move the heat (such as a heat sink) is thermally neutral - it is neither exothermic nor endothermic.

Most devices we consider air conditioners require motors to drive compressors and fans. These motors, and the mechanical devices they drive, give off heat, and it is this excess heat that tips the scale and makes the air conditioner an exothermic device.

What is the opposite of exothermic?

The opposite of exothermic is endothermic. Exothermic reactions are those which give off energy in the form of heat. Endothermic reactions require energy.

Is ammonium endo or exothermic?

endothermic but don't know why? As AN crystals are formed the reaction is exothermic. Endothermic when it melts back with water. This is the reason AN is used in cold packs.
