What does electricity do to remove heat from air?
In: 5
You know how when you’re spraying a can of dusting air, how the can gets a lot colder, and eventually frosts over?
That’s because when gas that’s compressed is un-compressed, it gets colder. This is because of physics.
In the exact same way, when gas that is “loose” gets compressed, it heats up.
So…
Imagine you have a big container of gas, and the container allows you to compress and un-compress the gas. Like… a tank with a piston.
It is currently un-compressed, and room temp.
Go outside and compress the gas in the container. It gets hot, so you then have a fan blowing outside that cools it off so that it’s not hot anymore.
Bring the room temp compressed gas back inside, and then un-compress it. It gets really cold, so you can then use a fan to blow the inside air past the cold gas container, and it makes the inside air cold. This also warms up the gas that you just un-compressed.
Bring the room temp un-compressed gas back outside, and compress it again. And so on and so forth.
Pack it all into a little machine that is half inside and half outside, and the machine just keeps doing that to the gas in a constant loop.
