The air conditioner in a central heating and cooling system provides cool air through ductwork inside your home, by providing a process that draws out the warm air inside, removing its heat.In a split system, the compressor condenses and circulates the refrigerant through the outdoor unit, changing it from a gas to a liquid. The liquid is then forced through the indoor evaporator coil or cooling compartment. The indoor unit’s fan circulates the inside air to pass across the evaporator fins. The evaporator’s metal fins exchange the thermal energy with the air around it. There, the refrigerant turns from liquid into vapor, removing any heat from the surrounding air. As the heat is removed from the air, the air is cooled and blown back into the house.From that point, the condenser or outdoor unit then turns the refrigerant vapor back into a liquid, removing any heat. By the time the fluid leaves the evaporator again, it is a cool, low-pressure gas, eventually returning to the condenser to begin its trip all over again. This process continues again and again until your home reaches the cooling temperature you want, as programmed and sensed by your thermostat setting.

Explanation:

Step 1: Heat is absorbed by the evaporator coil

The warm air inside your house is drawn in through a vent and blows over the cold evaporator coil. The evaporator coil is the station located indoors and absorbs heat from the air, cooling the air. A fan blows the cold air into air ducts that distribute it throughout your home.

Step 2: Compressor raises the refrigerant temperature

The compressor decreases the gas’ volume. Usually this is done by squeezing the gas tightly between two solid objects

Step 3: Heat is transferred outside

The refrigerant, now a superheated vapor, reaches the condenser (which is located outdoors) and is exposed to the outside air. The outside air absorbs the heat from the refrigerant, lowering the temperature of the refrigerant and changing the state from a gas back into a liquid.

Step 4: Refrigerant gets cold; process repeats

Once the heat from the refrigerant is removed to the outdoors, the cold refrigerant travels back indoors to the evaporator to repeat the process over again. The process continues until the inside temperature of your home reaches your desired level. At this point, your thermostat tells your AC to shut off.

Answer: Sarah and Hailey had always been arch rivals. They competed  practically everything, however had both cheer leading was of highest importance. Sarah and Hailey had cheered since they were 8 years old, always attempting to one up each other even on the same team. Now, attending the same high school tensions could not be higher. It's try out day for junior varsity cheer, as freshmen Sarah and Hailey knew they had the odds stacked against them as sophomores and juniors often get priority for JV. Sarah spots Hailey in the locker room, and intensely stares her down. "Break a leg" Sarah exclaims sarcastically. They enter the gym, try outs start off with learning a routine the girls must break up into two groups and recite what they just learned. The coach puts Sarah and Hailey in the same group. They feud the entire time, the girls who are taking it seriously are growing tired of their child like behavior. Though they were as civil as they could be, Sarah thinks about having to rely on Hailey to look good and snaps. "That's not how you do it Hailey! Your counts are off and you're making our group look like amateurs." Hailey defends herself "That's not true Sarah! You have stones for feet and your kicks aren't high enough." The insults carry on, the coach finally steps in "That's enough you two, the only reason you had the opportunity to try out for JV is because you are seasoned cheerleaders. This behavior is unacceptable and you're lucky if you even make freshmen with those attitudes!" Hailey and Sarah both blush of embarrassment, and exit the gym. You would think they could reconcile this once so they didn't soil their chance at Freshmen. But the hatred was too deep, "LOOK WHAT YOUR LOUD MOUTH DID YOU COULDN'T JUST HOLD YOUR TOUNGE AND INSULT ME AFTER" Hailey yelled fighting back tears.  "HOW CAN YOU HAVE 6 YEARS OF CHEER EXPERIENCE AND STILL SUCK AS MUCH AS YOU DID WHEN WE FIRST STARTED?" Sarah snarked back. Not being able to put their differences aside, they both ruined their chances at even making Freshmen cheer. Guess we will have to see if tryouts are sucessful or escalate next year. Perhaps one of the girls can convince their parents to switch High Schools.
