How the Air Conditioning System of an Ultra Luxury Residential Building Works
by Avani Rai THE 42In order to keep up a good maintenance of anything that you own,
you should have an overall knowledge of how these things work in the first
place. This will give you a clear idea as to what is happening and what needs
to be taken care of really. Air conditioning system is common for an ultra-luxury
residential building.
But do you know how it works? Let us have a look at the details:
An Overview of air conditioning system
Truest to its name, an air conditioner ‘conditions’ the air inside
your room. That means that an AC machine is not only responsible for cooling
down the air, it also reduces factors like humidity.
The process through which an air conditioning system creates a
favourable environment within premium apartments in Central Kolkata
involves refrigeration cycle. It plays an important role in the process,
indeed.
The process works the same way as the HVAC system works for a
building, car or refrigerator, for that matter.
First thing first- turning on the air conditioner means that
excess energy must be used to remove heat and moisture from inside your room.
In order to understand the process in detail, you need to understand the
principles working in an AC machine.
- Refrigeration
cycle: The
key principles that an AC machine works on are condensation and evaporation.
It includes repetitive cycles of expansion and compression. Pretty much
like a perfect scientific experiment- the AC machine absorbs heat and
releases it outside.
- Evaporation:
When evaporation
happens, the substance evaporating takes help of the surface heat of an
area. The moisture content of the air inside your room also evaporates
taking the heat away from your room.
The cooling process inside a room
Refrigeration and evaporation are the two constant processes that
helps your air conditioner to work. An AC machine unit uses Freon which
converts gas to liquid and vice versa very quickly.
This way, the refrigerant
transfers the heat outside your room.
There are four distinguished part in an AC machine:
- Compressor
- Condenser
- Evaporator
- Metering
device
The first two parts are located outside the air conditioning
system. The other two units are located in your attic or in a closet.
Hot air removal and cold air supply
The refrigerant inside the compressor is a low pressure, low
temperature gas. After it gets compressed, it leaves as a high pressure, high
temperature vapour. This vapour moves towards the condenser.
The condenser condenses this vapour into a liquid which moves
towards the metering device. Here, it becomes much cooler. This cool liquid
enters the evaporator unit via a set of tiny tubes.
Here, the pressure drops turning the liquid to gas. This low
pressure and low temperature gas again goes back to the compressor. This is the
cycle how the air conditioning system works.
Air conditioning is a brilliant innovation of applied science and
technology, based on such simple principles. These machines keep the
environment inside an ultra-luxury residential building comfortable even
when there is a lot of heat.
