I know the WHAT basics (condenser/evaporator/fan/yadda) so I'm good there. There's a very specific HOW question regarding air flows / paths inside the box. I've looked online hoping to find a jfheath-level follow-the-flow diagram that answered my simple question but no joy. So I thought I'd try here.
Consider a two-hose portable A/C unit connected to a window. In my quest for a simple answer it's a box with three air flows:
intake (outside atmosphere to A/C box)
exhaust (inside A/C box to outside atmosphere)
A/C air (inside A/C box to room atmosphere)
My question - how is the intake sorted to A/C and exhaust once inside the box? Outside air enters the box. Exhaust air leaves the box. Cool (A/C) air leaves the box. How is this accomplished inside? Magic smoke? Air prisms? If there's a simple schemo that tells me what I want to know I won't find it until after clicking Post.
