How an air conditioning system works?
 
Can someone give me a brief overview of how an ac system works in a vehicle? Like what inlets and outlets and what major parts the lines are connected to? thanks...

Cool air!

Uhhh, you can't compress air in an a/c system. Also it doesn't go to the radiator, it goes to the condenser which is in front of the radiator. This is where the gas is condensed into liquid form and the heat is given off.

I don't really want to explain more but you're wrong.
