, Fiite_ out aumtr_rtime dust, dirt, and some
airborne impurities,
The air conditioner performs these fun_ons by
drawing room air through a filter which traps dust
and dirt particles_ The air then passes over a
cooling coil which refrigerates the air and removes
excess moisture, The same air is then returned to
the room- cooter_ drier, and cleaner. Moisture
removed from the room air is carried to the outside
and evaporated_

or gurgling sound coming from your air conditioner
after it is off. These are normal coolant noises.
