The air is hot because it's moving around a bunch.

The air gets fanned over some coils filled with coolant.

The coolant gets heated and starts moving around a bunch causing it to move through the coil through some insulation foam to the outside half.

Once it nears the end of the loop it has to go through the compressor.

The compressor squishes the moving coolant and now it can't move around as much, all the heat gets dissipated into the surrounding outside air.

The compressor lets the cooled coolant go back through to the inside.

Process Repeats with diminishing returns.

phase change refrigerant loops baby!

Technically it's a uni directional heat pump. But we're just abusing the basic laws of thermodynamics. Fluids when compressed, heat up, and when expanded, cool down. Compress it, it heats up, cool it down, and then expand it, and suddenly, boom sub ambient cooling has been achieved. (the phase change happens in between to maximize effectiveness/efficiency)

Hot air goes out, cool air goes in. You can't explain that.

"all of the sudden"

Disregard

In ye ole Enlysch, it was

“All of ye sudden”

For some raisin, “all of the sudden” just tastes better to me.

Technically “all of a sudden” is more correct.

Its a placebo your room isn't actually cooling down. The power companies just want to charge you more money.
