The Air Conditioner will take the excess heat from the input gas and transfer it to the [[Coolant]] stored in the waste pipe network. Attached to the waste pipe network should be either [[Pipe Radiator|Pipe Radiators]] or [[Medium Radiator|Medium Radiators]] to either convect heat in a pressurized environment or radiate heat in a vacuum environment. Make the pipe network loop on back to the waste port after the radiators for slightly better efficiency.

==== Cooling on Hot Planets ====
 
−
Cooling down to room temperatures (<30°C) on hot planets can be challenging due to the significant temperature difference, which can lead to a decrease in efficiency.
 
−
 
−
For better cooling results, set up multiple air conditioners in a series. Each air conditioner cools the waste of the previous one, until the last unit expels heat into the environment. This prevents efficiency drops due to high temperature differences.
 
−
 
−
Use insulated pipes for the of the middle air conditioners for higher efficiency. As a rule, aim for one air conditioner per every 50°C difference in temperature. This keeps cooling effective on hot planets.

−
On planet Vulcan, consider using high pressure and/or volume for the last pipe network to store cold from the night for the day. An extra room that you can open at night will also help improve efficiency.

Ensuring the temperature of the [[coolant]] is higher than the temperature of the gas you want attempting to heat will allow the Air Conditioner Unit to heat the gas being run through the input port. Attaching a [[Pipe Heater]] is a quick method of raising the temperature of the coolant in the waste pipe network.
