In heating mode, the fan drives air through the evaporator, absorbing heat from the outside. In cooling mode, the fan drives air through the condenser, removing heat from the system. During low loads, reducing the fan speed reduces energy consumption. During high loads, increasing the fan speed enhances heat dissipation and prevents overheating.
