Life is Better with Air Conditioning:

Air conditioning is a must have this summer, but how does air conditioning actually work? The important part is the refrigerant, usually Freon. The Freon is compressed by the compressor (hence its name), which heats it up, then the hot gas dissipates its heat as it runs through a series of coils and condenses into a liquid. The liquid Freon then runs through an expansion valve and evaporates to become cold Freon gas. This cold gas runs through the coils, absorbing heat from the room and cooling the air in the building. Air conditioners also help to filter and dehumidify the air. For more information and a nifty diagram, visit http://home.howstuffworks.com/ac1.htm.
