Here's how it works:
* Engine Power: The gasoline engine powers an alternator, which generates electricity.
* Electricity Powers AC: This electricity is then used to power the AC compressor, which is the heart of the air conditioning system.
* Refrigerant Cycle: The AC compressor circulates refrigerant through a closed system, absorbing heat from the car's interior and releasing it outside.
So, gasoline provides the energy to run the engine, which in turn generates the electricity needed to power the AC compressor.
