Here’s how fans are used in air conditioners

  • Evaporator Fan

    The evaporator fan is located within the indoor unit of the air conditioner, also known as the air handler or indoor blower unit. Its primary function is to circulate warm indoor air across the evaporator coils. As the air passes over the cold coils, heat is absorbed, and the air is cooled before being distributed back into the living or working space. The cooled air contributes to lowering the indoor temperature.

  • Condenser Fan

    The condenser fan is found in the outdoor unit of a split air conditioner or heat pump. Its purpose is to expel the heat that is absorbed from the indoor air and transferred to the outdoor unit. As the refrigerant releases heat in the condenser coils, the fan blows outdoor air across the coils to aid in heat dissipation. This allows the refrigerant to return to its liquid state and be ready for another cycle.

  • Ventilation Fans

    Some air conditioning systems, especially those in commercial buildings, include ventilation fans that bring in fresh outdoor air and exhaust stale indoor air. Ventilation fans help maintain indoor air quality by introducing outdoor air and preventing the build-up of pollutants and excess moisture.
