(A-C 101)
Actually, the A-C system removes heat and moisture from the cabin air and the air is returned "cooled".
A little more explanation:
Air conditioners remove heat from indoor air and transfer it outdoors. Cool air is then returned to the cabin. The cycle continues until the indoor air reaches the “set point,” or the desired temperature on your thermostat. Cool refrigerant gas is pumped into the compressor where it is—you guessed it—compressed, which heats the refrigerant. The hot refrigerant gas then passes through the condenser coil, where it is cooled, and changes from a gas to a liquid. This liquid runs through an expansion device, which further cools the gas as it enters the evaporator coil. This cooler gas collects moisture (in the form of water beads on the outside evaporator coil surface) and heat from the air to be cooled. The cooled air is then returned to the cabin and the process repeats until the cabin temperature reaches the desired set point.
The compressor pumps and heats the refrigerant, increasing the temperature and pressure of the gas. The hot gas passes through coils, loses heat and condenses into a liquid. This liquid runs through an expansion valve and evaporates to become cold, low-pressure gas. The cold gas passes through a set of coils that cools the air. A fan blows the cool air into the cabin.
