Air Conditioning Defined.
An air conditioner is a mechanical unit that controls the humidity, ventilation, and temperature in a building or vehicle. Typically, an air conditioner will be used to cool down the atmosphere when hot conditions prevail.

An air conditioner generates cool air by sucking in heat and humidity from the indoor air and returning cool air in its place. The hot and humid air is expelled into the outside environment and replaced by the newly generated cool air in the inside environment.
