Air Conditioner Evaporator CoilAbsorbs heat from the indoor air So - what is air conditioner evaporator? Air conditioner evaporator is a heat exchange. It takes in low temperature, low-pressure liquid refrigerant from the expansion device and changes it into low-pressure, low temperature vapor refrigerant. Evaporator coil is the components that add heat to the air conditioner units. * Notes: refrigeration is the process of removing heat from one area where it is undesirable to an area where it is not significant. For this process to work, heat has to flow from one area medium to another. To make heat flows, one of the mediums has to be at a higher temperature. Since, heat always flows from a high intensity to a low intensity. Types of air conditioner evaporator: Director-expansion or Air-cooled Evaporator Flooded evaporators How does air conditioning evaporator works? Air conditioning evaporator works by absorb heat from the area medium that need to be cooled. It does that by maintaining the evaporator coil at low temperature and pressure than the surrounding air. Since, the AC evaporator coil contains refrigerant that absorbs heat from the surrounding air, the refrigerant temperature must be lower than the air. The expansion device provides a pressure reduces between the high side and the low side of the system, the saturation temperature of the refrigerant entering the air conditioning evaporator is lower than the medium to be cooled. One of the characteristic of an ac refrigerant is that as the pressure is reduced the boiling point is also reduced. Therefore, as the pressure is reduced through the expansion device so is the point at which it will boil and become a vapor. As the warm air from the space passes over the evaporator coil, it gives up its heat to the lower temperature liquid/vapor mixture passing through the evaporator. As the liquid refrigerant absorbs this heat it boils changing from the liquid state to the vapor state. The amount of
