Air conditioning refers to the heating, cooling, ventilating and de-humidifying air. The “condition” of the air can be altered in any one of these processes. However, most people know the term in its relation to cooling warm air.

Like a refrigerator, an air conditioner uses a heat transfer process to extract heat energy from the air and then replaces it with cooler air. The air is also moisture during this process.

What keeps us cool is the drier air the AC produces. For instance, sweat that evaporates from our skin is like our own heat transfer process. If the air is dry, the more efficient the evaporation process becomes. Since Houston has such high humidity, drier air produced by an AC is more effective.

Today, homes and commercial buildings use central air conditioning to heat, cool, ventilate the entire living or work space. Air that flows through a building’s duct work is filtered and ventilated and an automatic temperature control unit determines when to cool things off or heat things up.
