Compressor

This is typically regarded as the heart of the air conditioning system.  It simply compresses the refrigerant from a gas to a liquid.  The refrigerant comes back to the compressor as a gas from the evaporator coil, and is sent back to this coil as a liquid.  The compressor is the only part that creates the cycle of refrigerant necessary to cool your home.
