What Does an Evaporator Coil do in my AC System?

An evaporator coil plays an important role within an air conditioning system. It acts as a heat exchanger by subtracting the hot air within a home and transferring it to the exterior condenser unit which cools the air inside a home. Running through the evaporator coil are coolants such as Freon or Puron. As these coolants move through the evaporator coil (typically made of copper), they evaporate, drawing hot air into the coil and transferring it outside.

Common Issues with Evaporator Coils

• Dust and dirt build-up. As natural household dirt, dust and debris collects on the evaporator coil, it creates a buffer between warm air and the coolant within the coils. You may notice your AC system is not producing cool air anymore. If you smoke inside your home, tobacco smoke can increase the debris build-up on the evaporator coil.
• Blocked drain causes leaking. On hot days, the evaporator coils carry condensation droplets. Normally these water droplets collect into the pan and drain way. A clogged drain can cause the pan to overflow and leak water.
• Frozen coils. While it might seem odd that your evaporator coils can freeze even when it’s not cold outside, the coolant has a different freezing point than water. Frozen coils don’t produce cooler air — instead the frozen state prevents the coils from properly transferring heat to the outside of your home.
