Is this correct? My understanding is that when a gas exapands it draws in energy from the surroundings. Which is why its previous vessel cools down like how you mentioned the can getting cool, but the gas itself gained energy. Meanwhile, a gas compressor is used in AC units to force the gas flowing through the line to release its heat which is then dissipated across a radiator with air flowed over by a fan. Am I missing something?
