Why air conditioner blows hot air?

An air conditioner cools through the compression and expansion of gas (usually Freon). The gas is compressed, and gets hot because of the compression. The hot gas is then sent through a coil, where the heat is blown off with a fan (this is the hot air you're getting on the "outside" of the air conditioner). Once the heat has been vented off, the gas moves into another coil, where the gas goes through a small hole into larger tubing, where the gas is allowed to expand again. That expansion causes the gas to cool, and that is once again blown off of the coil.So, to summarize... freon is compressed into a small tube using a compressor. The compressed gas heats up and is vented outside. The gas then goes through a small aperture into a larger, more spacious tube where it expands rapidly and cools. That cools the coil, and the cold air is blown into the room. The gas then returns to the compressor to repeat the process.So, the reason that an air conditioner blows hot air outside, is because it's blowing cool air inside.


What happens to the air particles inside a hot air balloon when the burner is turned on?

They move around faster and faster, causing the temperature to increase, and because hot air rises above cold air, the balloon lifts, applying lift to the basket, causing the hot air balloon to rise into the air.

What is the air pressure is like at higher altitudes?

If this is about weather, then high pressure is usually related to fine and warm weather. If this is about engineering, then anything goes. When air is compressed, it gets hot, but eventually it'll cool off and then you'll have high pressure and low temperature.

What happens to air molecules when air gets hot?

The air molecules move farther apart from each other, therefore making it less dense. That's why hot air moves above cool air.


Why is compressed air cold?

Compressed air leaves a cooling sensation because when on feels the air on his body part, there is some moisture content on the skin and when air strikes, it makes the moisture content to evaporate by absorbing the nearby heat from the skin thus making a cooling sensation.

What is function of after cooler air compressor?

The compressed air discharged from an air compressor is hot (fig. AC1-1). Compressed air at these temperatures contains large quantities of water in vapor form. As the compressed air cools this water vapor condenses into a liquid form
