The outdoor air conditioning unit is the part of the system that you see outside your house or building. It usually looks like a metal box with a fan on top or on the side. Inside this unit, there are many important components like the compressor, condenser coil, and fan. These parts work together to release the heat that the AC takes from inside your home.

How Does It Work?

Here’s a simple explanation of how it works:

1. The indoor unit pulls warm air from the room and removes the heat.

2. The heat is transferred through pipes (called refrigerant lines) to the outdoor unit.

3. Inside the outdoor unit, the compressor increases the pressure of the refrigerant.

4. The condenser coil helps release the heat into the outside air.

5. A fan blows outside air over the coil to help cool it down.
