Even after searching it up I still don’t understand how it cools down air.
And what exactly does Freon do?

The key takeaway is that *boiling cools stuff down*. This is counterintuitive because we associate boiling water with being hot, but if you were to boil water with a vacuum instead of with heat, you’d find that the water actually gets colder the more it boils.
And that’s what an air conditioner does. It takes a liquid, freon specifically, boils it with a change of pressure, the boiling cools it down, and then you have a fan to spread the cold to the rest of the room. Then you take that boiled gas, bring it to a compressor, compress it back into a liquid and throw away the extra heat to get it back to the starting point.
