Question: 

Explain the working of window air conditioner with neat sketch.

Answer: 

The low pressure and low temperature refrigerant vapour from evaporator is sucked by compressor. The compressor compresses the vapour to high pressure and high temperature and discharges to the condenser. On the condenser the refrigerant vapour condenses by dissipating heat to the cooling medium (air) the liquid refrigerant coming out of condenser passes through filter, dryer into capillary tube where it is again throated back to the evaporated pressure. The low pressure low temp liquid refrigerant then flows to evaporator which it boil off by extracting heat from air to be circuited to the conditioned space.
