does an air conditioner recirulate the air or does it pull the air from outside.?

it is a window ac.

Answers:
Depends on the make and model, but a lot of them do both. There may be an exhaust setting on yours, in which case, a small door would open that would carry the inside air out, and pull outside air in. If there is no exhaust setting, then it most likely just recirculates the interior air after it's cooled and dehumidified.

i think they pull the air from inside the room. just like central a/c.
It pulls the air from outside and it mixes with the Freon and there you have it!
There should be a knob that changes back and forth from inside to outside air. If not it recircs inside air which is better any way.
Air Conditioners remove heat from the inside and blows it out on the outside, So it recirculates the inside air...
for it to condition the room air, it draws it in through the front, loses moisture and blows that conditioned air out the front by the coil.(the coil being cold)

Once this air being drawn in is cool enough, the stat blub will shut off the compressor.
it circulates the inside air around and around
Greets....
Corkys got it right.... depends on make and model.... If it does not have a knob/button/lever that says "outside air" - or words like that then maybe not. Or, it is internal, and for that you have no control, you'll need to do a web search for that manufacturer and see if some kind of specs are out there....
If it is new... then just find the store that sells em and they should be able to find out. if it is internal or not.

Hope this airs out well for ya....
Some provide the option of both. Through a vent.
