To be fair, the physics that makes refrigeration work does feel like you're manipulating primal forces like a wizard
111 0 ReplyThere's a tank of cold inside. Its the primary export of northern European countries and sustains nearly their entire economies since the only other thing they can "make" is fucking rotten fish. Its important to recycle your AC every 3 years before it runs out of cold by throwing it into the ocean where it can return to be made into glaciers.

29 0 ReplyThe air is hot because it's moving around a bunch.
The air gets fanned over some coils filled with coolant.
The coolant gets heated and starts moving around a bunch causing it to move through the coil through some insulation foam to the outside half.
Once it nears the end of the loop it has to go through the compressor.
The compressor squishes the moving coolant and now it can't move around as much, all the heat gets dissipated into the surrounding outside air.
The compressor lets the cooled coolant go back through to the inside.
Process Repeats with diminishing returns.

23 0 ReplyOk, but here's a real answer. Have you ever sprayed a can of hair spray or wd-40 and the can got cold? That's basically the same process.

12 0 Replyphase change refrigerant loops baby!
Technically it's a uni directional heat pump. But we're just abusing the basic laws of thermodynamics. Fluids when compressed, heat up, and when expanded, cool down. Compress it, it heats up, cool it down, and then expand it, and suddenly, boom sub ambient cooling has been achieved. (the phase change happens in between to maximize effectiveness/efficiency)
