I have been training folks for years on HVAC and this 3D animation is by far the best demonstration of the evaporation compressor cycle. Incredibly well done!!
As a journeyman HVAC installer I must say this video is, in every aspect, the best explanation of a generic modern residential A/C system. From the most detailed animations (with a scrolls compressor) to doing a fantastic job of simplifying the process without oversimplifying it.
Wow thank you so much for such a nice comment :) Really glad it was helpful. I know I could have gone into much more detail, but yeah, I think it’s important to keep things as simple as possible.
Thank you. Over the last two days I've watched at least a dozen videos. This is the best one, by far, because it did both things I needed: to understand the process, and to see the actual physical layout of a typical home system. For whatever reason no-one seems to understand both of those are needed.
Thanks so much for letting me know Kevin! I love comments like this, knowing I was able to help understand these complex systems. The compressor portion is still even difficult for me to understand myself. It was hard to explain, and I hope it makes some sense at least haha
its crazy how innovative and ingenious systems we use every day truly are. it can be easy to take these systems for granted, but taking some time to learn about how they work is both useful and satisfying. thanks for the video
I've been in the HVAC trade now for about 5 months as a helper doing change outs and new installs, and this video is an excellent reference for the refrigeration cycle and how it works. I've still had questions here and there but this summarizes basically all if my questions. Thank you!
Been doing HVAC for 36 yrs and this is one of the best simplistic videos I’ve seen yet. Perfect for the new guys to put it all in perspective. Well done !
From a soon to be Residential HVAC Install helper, this video precisely breaks the whole system so accurately and explains it so well without oversimplifying everything. Great video!
That animation is top iceberg only that system is a lot more complex and need a lot time learning how everything works don't talk about electricity this system used 3 different types electricity voltage plust calibration on all equipment to properly operation under pressure
I'm an engineer with six patents including an efficient torque-vectoring differential for which I created a 3D animation in SolidWorks, but Matt Rittman's animations and explanations are way better, the best I have ever seen. I've commented on his stunning animation of my favorite shotgun, but our 26 year-old AC unit is failing and I found this video. Wow. It explains ALL of what makes a home air conditioner work, including by inference how evaporator coil freezing is prevented for example. Once again I am blown away, and grateful. Thanks again, Matt!
Having a little psychedelic experience right now and this really rocked my world. Beautiful animations. Clear and amazingly concise explanations. I, for one, learned solidly how an A/C works 👌
dude!!! same!!! I've never learned something so well and enjoyed it so much while toasted. Like the fact that I retained all the information is incredible.
As someone that has never done HVAC seeing all these people say they have been in HVAC for years say this video is a great explanation, I can tell it was a well done explanation with great animations 👍🏽
@@mattrittman I would encourage you to keep up these kind of videos. I grew up a carpenter and now a project manager, learning the other trades in a nut shell helps my job so much
Would you ever consider making a similar video explanation on Heat Pump systems? This video is invaluable in terms of clarity of explanation of these systems, and as a developing HVAC technician a strong grasp of Heat Pumps is a demanding necessity I have come to realize thank you for such great content
I have a question for you if you don't mind me asking. With my thermostat set at 72 the room is not cooling down (room stays at ambient temp). Checked the condensor outside and the fan is spinning as well as the air handler blower fan in the house. I felt both the large and small diameter freon lines and neither of them feel cool/cold. Do you think it's my freon charge? Is it possible for the condenser fan to run if the compressor is not running?
@@jaso5114 you probably have a bad capacitor if the fan is running without compressor running. Could be refrigerant but probably not. Tons of videos of how to replace that part. Feel free to ask if you have any other questions.
@@dwigg7700 Thank you so much for your advice. I tried operating it once more and now neither the fan or compressor run, all I hear is a humming sound. Ordered a replacement capacitor!
One of the most densely packed, yet excellently delivered videos I've seen. Animation was incredibly crafted! I know how an AC works now but I keep coming back just to appreciate the work.
I've always wondered what the compressor or "big box" was outside for AC. Never understood why it needed a fan outside but this video explained that. Thanks!

It looks like a collection of random images and random text. The target audience must be the people who already know how an AC works. Very poorly done.
It's really not that complicated. The state changes of refrigerant can be ignored in describing it, and instead just refer to it as "compressed" and "uncompressed" states of the refrigerant (Freon, generally). You take exterior temperature, uncompressed refrigerant, and run it through a compressor. In it's now compressed state, what was an exterior temperature at an expanded volume is now a hotter temperature in a compressed volume. Same total energy when considered as an isolated system. The refrigerant is then run through the condenser coils to increase it's surface area exposure, and the fan cools it back down to ambient exterior temperature by blowing outside air through the coils. Once cooled back down to ambient exterior temperature, it runs through the refrigerant lines back into your house and to the air handler. Then it hits an expansion valve, which allows the refrigerant to expand back into its uncompressed state. So what was ambient exterior temperature in a compressed state, once decompressed into a larger volume, is now cooler than the surrounding air. Again, same total energy level but differing volume. This uncompressed refrigerant runs through the evaporator coil, making it colder than interior air. A blower pushes conditioned air inside the home through the coils, where the air's heat is transferred to the now cold coils, and then into the supply plenum connected to your ductwork, and distributed to registers throughout the dwelling. That's the reason the efficiency of your unit is based on the difference between your thermostat setting and the temperature outside; because the system always starts at ambient exterior temperature, and becomes less efficient the greater the temperature difference.
I love this animation, i knew absolutely nothing on how the HVAC System in my home worked, but after this video, i have a good grasp on the basics !! I looked through your other animations and i can tell you worked hard on making them, i appreciate your hard work ! You just gained a new subscriber !

Absolutely amazing. I have been searching the whole day for a video like this. This is the only one I found that thought me exactly what I needed. One thing that I think is missing is "how heat is distributed through condenser". I wish they added little more explanation for that part as well. Thank you for the good work.
