What does a central air conditioner compressor do?

In a split air conditioning system-the standard central AC found in most homes-the compressor is located in the outdoor unit. Its job is to circulate the refrigerant necessary for heat exchange through the coils of the indoor and outdoor unit, and also to apply the energy to the refrigerant.

What is a home ac compressor?
