How is the air conditioner able to heat the room?

The source of heat in this case is the reversal of processes that normally work to cool the temperature inside. A typical air conditioner consists of two units: an indoor unit (the cooling source) and an outdoor unit (the heat source), which are connected to each other by refrigeration piping.
