The simple answer is that AC, or air conditioning, is used to make a space colder.
Here's a bit more detail:
- Air conditioning systems work by removing heat from the air. This is done using a refrigerant that absorbs heat from the air inside your home or building and releases it outside.
- The result is cooler air inside, making the space more comfortable, especially during hot weather.
- The term "AC" is often used to refer to the process of cooling air, rather than the specific type of system used.
While the primary function of AC is to cool, some systems can also be used for heating. These systems are often called "heat pumps" and can work in both directions, providing both heating and cooling.
