Kompresa ikandagira icyuma gikonjesha umwuka mu gikoresho gikonjesha umwuka gifite ubushyuhe bwinshi n'umuvuduko mwinshi, hanyuma ikacyohereza muri kondensateri (icyuma cyo hanze) kugira ngo ikureho ubushyuhe maze ihinduke ubushyuhe busanzwe n'icyuma gikonjesha amazi, bityo icyuma cyo hanze gisohora umwuka ushyushye. Hanyuma ijya mu gikoresho gikingira amazi kikinjira mu gikoresho gikonjesha amazi (icyuma cyo mu nzu). Nyuma yuko icyuma gikonjesha kigera ku gikoresho gikonjesha amazi kivuye mu gikoresho gikonjesha amazi, umwanya uhita wiyongera kandi umuvuduko uragabanuka. Igikoresho gikonjesha amazi kizahinduka umwuka ushyushye kandi gihinduke icyuma gikonjesha amazi, bityo kikanyunyuza ingano nini y'umuvuduko. Ubushyuhe bw'icyuma gikonjesha buzarushaho gukonja. Umufana w'icyuma cyo mu nzu uhuha umwuka wo mu nzu unyuze mu gikoresho gikonjesha amazi, bityo icyuma cyo mu nzu gihuha umuyaga ukonje; umwuka w'amazi uri mu kirere uzagabanuka iyo uhuye n'icyuma gikonjesha amazi. Ibitonyanga by'amazi bisohoka mu muyoboro w'amazi, ari nayo mpamvu icyuma gikonjesha kizasohora amazi. Igikoresho gikonjesha amazi kigaruka kuri kompesateri kugira ngo gikomeze gukandagira no gukomeza gutembera.
