Yes, the compressor compresses the freon .. adding heat energy to it..

Yea.. I got pics.. I'm just about done with the system..

IF anyone needs to bend copper tubing.. like 1/4" soft tubing.. for your condensor or evaporator and you need to make elbows n stuff.. Fill the tubing with sand.. make sure you fill the whole tubing with it.. cap the ends..

This way you can bend it around and even do tight elbows and the copper won't kink or crush down..

Also, if you have an air compressor and you can get a compression fitting for the hose.. fill the tube with sand.. then put the air compressor on it.. to pack the sand in really tight.. then fill the tube up more and keep doing that.. that way the tubing won't kink at all.. you can really work with it then.

You can get a 50lb bag of sand at home depot for 3 dollars.
