Refrigerant circulates through copper tubing that runs between the evaporator and the condenser. This refrigerant receives and releases heat as it
raises and lowers in temperature, changing from liquid to gas and then back to liquid. The refrigerant is especially cold when it begins to circulate
As the air handler pushes warm air across the coil, the refrigerant absorbs so much heat from the air that it turns into vapor. As a vapor, it travels to the
outdoor compressor, which pressurizes it and moves it through the outdoor coil. There it jettisons the heat through coils or thin metal “fins.” A fan in the
compressor also helps to dissipate the heat. The refrigerant then passes through an expansion device that converts it to a low-pressure, low-
temperature liquid, which returns to the indoor coil. And so the cycle goes.

Central air conditioning (or central A/C) is a system in which air is cooled at a central location and distributed to and from rooms by one or more
fans and ductwork. The work of the air conditioner compressor is what makes the whole process of air conditioning possible. The compression of the
refrigerant gas enables it to discharge heat out of the house, which is how the cool air is created.
Indoor comfort during warm weather – Central air conditioning helps keep your home cool and reduces humidity levels.
Cleaner air – As your central air-conditioning system draws air out of the rooms in your house through return air ducts, the air is pulled
through an air filter, which removes airborne particles such as dust and lint. Sophisticated filters, like those found in the Lennox Healthy
Climate® purification systems, may remove microscopic pollutants, as well. The filtered air is then routed to air supply ductwork that carries
Quieter operation – Because the compressor-bearing unit is located outside the home, the indoor noise level from its operation is much
There are two types of central air conditioners: a split system or a packaged unit.
In a split-system central air conditioner, an outdoor metal cabinet contains the condenser and compressor, and an indoor cabinet contains the
evaporator. In many split-system air conditioners, this indoor cabinet also contains a furnace or an air handler. The air conditioner's evaporator coil is
installed in the cabinet or main supply duct of this furnace or heat pump. If your home already has a furnace but no air conditioner, a split system is the
In a packaged central air conditioner, the evaporator, condenser, and compressor are all located in one cabinet, which usually is placed on a roof or on
a concrete slab next to the house's foundation. Air supply and return ducts come from indoors through the home's exterior wall or roof to connect with
the packaged air conditioner, which is usually located outdoors. Packaged air conditioners often include electric heating coils or a natural gas furnace.
This combination of air conditioner and central heater eliminates the need for a separate furnace indoors.
