Functionality of air conditioner

Air conditioning in a car provides a comfortable temperature and helps regulate humidity. The heart of the system is the air conditioning compressor, which is driven by the engine. It compresses the refrigerant, which heats up in the process and is under high pressure.

It then flows through the condenser, where it cools down and liquefies. In the expansion valve, the now liquid refrigerant expands and evaporates, extracting heat from the environment and thereby cooling the air inside the vehicle. A fan blows the cooled air into the passenger compartment, while the refrigerant returns to the compressor and the cycle begins again.
