No, an air conditioner does not bring fresh air from outside to the inside of your home. While part of your system may be located outside, if you have a split system, this does not mean it uses the outside air. The primary purpose of your system is not cooling the air; it's to move the unwanted heat out of your air.

So the answer to this question is: although the term “air conditioning” describes two different types of cooling, it has long since become synonymous with comfort cooling in everyday speech. In that regard, comfort cooling is indeed the same as air conditioning.

Heat load – Typically, comfort cooling systems need to remove a smaller amount of heat produced by human occupancy or office equipment, while industrial process cooling systems must remove heat generated by machinery and other processes, which can be much higher.

Does An Air Conditioner Recirculate Air? Yes, most air conditioners recirculate air as part of their cooling process. Air conditioners are designed to remove heat and moisture from indoor air to create a comfortable and controlled environment. They achieve this by using a refrigeration cycle.
