what are Flue Gases in an Air Conditioning System?

Flue gases are gases emitted from combustion. These are usually the reaction products that result after combustion. A portable flue gas analyzer is used to detect and observe the composition level of the flue gas to determine if the mixture of air and fuel is at the right ratio for maximum heat output.

Learning that, let's move on to understanding flue gases and air conditioner's relation.

Flue gases in air conditioners

In an air conditioning unit, a fan draws the air in and forces it over the evaporator's coils to cool air. Filled with refrigerant, these coils draw heat from the air, cooling it.

Further, the air moves into the air handler, where a blower sends it into the ducts. As the cool air moves through the ducts, any noxious gasses produced during the process are expelled through the flue. These are the flue gases.

When an air conditioner absorbs heat, the refrigerant vaporizes. To return to its natural state, the refrigerant travels into the compressor, which pressurizes it, and onto the condenser, where it condenses from a vapor back into a liquid. As it does, it expels heat blown out by a fan.
