The main accessories of air conditioners include compressors, evaporators, condensers, throttling devices, liquid storage tanks, four-way valves, high and low pressure sensors, etc.
Core components and their functions
Compressor: The "heart" of the air conditioner, controls the compression and drive of the refrigerant, and directly affects the cooling and heating capacity and energy consumption level. Common compressor types include rotor type and scroll type. The rotor type is suitable for less than 6 horsepower, and the scroll type is suitable for more than 6 horsepower. Evaporator: The indoor part, which performs heat exchange, absorbs indoor heat, and achieves cooling effect. Condenser: The outdoor part, which releases heat, is usually divided into perforated and non-perforated fins, and non-perforated fins are more durable. Throttling device: Adjusts high-pressure liquid to low-pressure liquid and gas to ensure stable refrigerant flow, making the air conditioner more energy-saving and stable. Liquid storage tank: Temporarily stores unevaporated liquid refrigerant to prevent liquid accumulation from burning due to backflow to the compressor. Four-way valve: Changes the flow direction of refrigerant to achieve cooling and heating conversion. High and low pressure sensors: precision parts that monitor system pressure and ensure safe operation of the system.
