minus-squareEndlessNightmare@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 days agoOutside air. If you are using AC, the intake probably isn’t cold. But: air in => heated up by the AC => sent out. 2 hoses in the window that connect to the back of the AC unit.

minus-squareEndlessNightmare@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-21 day agoAir from room is cooled and that same air is blown back into the room after being cooled. Air from outside is pulled into AC (does not go into room), gets the heat from the air in the room, then is blown out as exhaust. If you aren’t sure, look for a diagram or in-depth explanation.
