The refrigerant inside absorbs heat as changes from liquid to gas. B - For the unit to keep cooling efficiency the air must be converted back from a gas to liquid again. To do this a compressor puts the gas under high pressure which in turn created unwanted heat. The extra heat in INVERTER V this process is evacuated using a second set of coils called condenser coils and a second fan. C - The air is the blown out of the unit using the "blower'. A thermometer sensor in the grill at the front tells the unit when it needs to switch on.
