How ACs work and what makes them indispensable

How an AC works is, it sucks air into the ducts through a vent. This air is then used to cool case in the evaporator, as a result of which, all the heat is removed from the air using refrigerants, and is dissipated outdoors. This cooled air is then blown back in to the room via the same ducts they came from. This process continues until your room reaches the desired temperature, as set on the AC’s control panel.
