Air-conditioning is a process that simultaneously conditions air; distributes it combined with the outdoor
air to the conditioned space; and at the same time controls and maintains the required space's temperature,
humidity, air movement, air cleanliness, sound level, and pressure differential within predetermined
limits for the health and comfort of the occupants, for product processing, or both.
Refrigeration is the cooling effect of the process of extracting heat from a lower temperature heat source,
a substance or cooling medium, and transferring it to a higher temperature heat sink, probably atmospheric
air and surface water, to maintain the temperature of the heat source below that of the surroundings.

Is a refridgeration compessor anything like an air conditioner?
Actually a refrigeration compressor is a component of an air conditioner. The refrigerant used in an air conditioner is called Freon. The compressor in an air conditioner evacuates the evaporator providing cooling to the air.
What is the difference between an air conditioner and a dehumidifier?
An air conditioner cools and dehumidifies the air, while a dehumidifier only removes excess moisture from the air without cooling it.
What refrigeration system uses passive recovery device?

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.
What is the difference between nominal and rated cooling capacity of air conditioner?
What is the difference between rated capacity and the nominal capacity
Does the air conditioner pull air from outside to cool the room?
Yes, an air conditioner pulls in air from outside, cools it through a refrigeration process, and then circulates the cooled air into the room to lower the temperature.
How much energy does an air conditioner use?
Air conditioning equipments consume 0.5 KW electricity per Kilowatt refrigeration.
What is the difference between HVAC and refrigeration?
'HVAC' is Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning, i.e. linked basic mechanical building services. Refrigeration is a process which is just a part of one of those.
What is the difference between a normal and split air conditioner?
A normal air conditioner is a fan which has rotating wings that make the air move. The whole fan is uncovered. A split air conditioner on the contrary is almost fully covered, except of a split (for example at the bottom) that constantly emits cool air.
