The AC Compressor will kick on and off to maintain approx 32 psi on the suction side of your Air Conditioning system. This creates a continuous cycle of Freon which will change from a Liquid on the suction side into a Gas on the Pressure side. During this exchange from Liquid to Gas cold air is created to cool your space.
