Why an air conditioner is placed high up on the wall?

Heat rises, so placing the air conditioner high allows the unit to cool the hottest air that is at the top of the room.


Which component of a refrigerator or air conditioner absorbs and releases heat energy?

compressor


How does an air conditioning unit remove heat?

To really understand how air conditioner removes heat? You have to know thermodynamics second law: " heat always flows from a material at a high temperature to a material at a low temperature." There're so much to it! AC condenser unit is the components that removes the heat in air conditioner. You also have to understand the other AC four basic components to know how and why it removes heat. Read: Basic refrigeration cycle and refrigeration cycle how air conditioner works refrigeration theory Youtube video on Principles of refrigeration video Good Lucks!


How does a heat pump function?

The simple analogy I use when teaching HVAC classes to describe an "air-to-air Heat Pump" goes like this:Think of a window air conditioner. When it runs, it blows cold air into your room, and hot air outdoors. What it's actually doing is transferring the heat from your room to outside.What if you could turn the window air conditioner around in cold weather? Then it would blow the warm air that used to go outdoors into your room, while it "air conditioned" the outside.That's how a Heat Pump works. It doesn't physically move the components of the air conditioner around, but it reverses the direction of refrigerant flow so that it "air conditions" the outdoors while heating your house.The HVAC Veteran


Why does an air conditioner must cycle on and off to keep the room cooled to a preset temperature?

Seriously? Cold air blows out of the air conditioner when it's on, reducing the temperature of the room. When the temperature in the room reaches some preset value, the air conditioner shuts off to prevent the temperature from dropping any lower. Once the air conditioner is shut off, heat sources within the room including people, appliances, and heat entering through walls and windows causes the temperature in the room to increase. When this happens the air conditioner kicks on again to bring the temperature back down. It ain't rocket science.

What is the difference between an air conditioner and a heat pump?

An air conditioner if functioning as air warmer or air chiller can be called as a type of heat pump. If an air conditioner is working as an air de-humidifier then it no more a heat pump.


How is air cooled by air conditioner?

by the process of heat transfer.freon in air conditioner absorbs heat from air,as boiling point of freon is too low.thus air cools


Why do they call it an air conditioner and not an air cooler?

Because in air conditioner keeps the air at a certain condition depending on your preference. An air conditioner can both cool and heat the air.


Can you turn my air conditioner into a heat pump?

no


What the air conditioner does?

An air conditioner uses refrigerant to transfer heat from one place to another, such as from inside the home to the outside.


Air conditioning system is exothermic or endothermic?

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. .

Can a dehumidifier and a fan replace an air-conditioner?

Both a dehumidifier and an air conditioner remove moisture from the air. Both a fan and an air conditioner move air. An air conditioner, however, cools air which a combination dehumidifier and fan can not do. If it is hot, and especially if there is an elderly person liable to suffer from heat stroke or heat exhaustion, an attempt to replace air conditioning with a dehumidifier and a fan could lead to death.


Can you switch the air conditioner on to melt the ice on the outside air conditioner unit even if it is 30 degrees outside and the heat was on?

yes you can


If the coolant in an air conditioner has a lower temperature the the air in a building then?

Heat will flow from the coolant to the air The coolant will absorb the heat from the building.
