Air conditioner parts list – Storing a list of name names for air conditioner parts of each brand and model is very important to be done by anyone involved in the world of air conditioning services.
The following are list names of air conditioner parts in general which are almost in each air conditioner unit.
- Condenser
- Air Compressor
- Condensing Coil
- Fan
- Belts
- Filters
- Thermostat
Here’s a detailed breakdown of each part of a split air conditioner, categorized into Indoor Unit, Outdoor Unit, and Connecting Components:
1. Indoor Unit (Evaporator Unit)
This part is installed inside the room and is responsible for cooling the indoor air.
🔹 Blower Fan (Fan Motor & Blades)
- Circulates cooled air inside the room.
- Helps in even distribution of air.
- Can operate at different speeds depending on settings.
🔹 Cooling Coil (Evaporator Coil)
- Made of copper or aluminum.
- Absorbs heat from the air inside the room.
- Filled with refrigerant, which evaporates to remove heat.
🔹 Air Filter
- Traps dust, dirt, and allergens to maintain clean airflow.
- Needs regular cleaning for efficient performance.
🔹 Drain Pipe (Drain Hose)
- Removes condensed water formed during cooling.
- Prevents water leakage and mold growth.
🔹 Swing/Flaps (Air Deflectors/Louvers)
- Controls the direction of airflow.
- Can move up-down or side-to-side for even cooling.
🔹 Temperature Sensor (Thermistor)
- Detects room temperature to regulate cooling.
- Helps in maintaining energy efficiency.
2. Outdoor Unit (Condensing Unit)
This part is installed outside the building and helps in heat dissipation.
🔹 Compressor
- The “heart” of the AC, responsible for circulating refrigerant.
- Compresses the refrigerant gas to high pressure and temperature.
- Available in different types: rotary, scroll, or inverter compressors.
🔹 Condenser Coil
- Releases heat absorbed from the indoor air.
- Converts high-pressure refrigerant gas back to liquid form.
- Typically made of copper or aluminum.
🔹 Fan Motor & Fan Blades
- Helps cool down the condenser coil.
- Ensures efficient heat dissipation.
🔹 Capacitor
- Stores electrical energy to provide an initial boost for the compressor and fan motor.
- Critical for starting and running the AC smoothly.
3. Connecting Components
These parts connect the indoor and outdoor units for smooth operation.
🔹 Refrigerant Pipes (Copper Tubing)
- Transfers refrigerant between the indoor and outdoor units.
- Ensures heat exchange process happens efficiently.
🔹 Electrical Wiring
- Provides power to both indoor and outdoor units.
- Connects the control board for proper operation.
🔹 Remote Control (Control Panel)
- Used to adjust temperature, fan speed, and mode.
- Some modern ACs come with smart controls (WiFi, smartphone app).
