Compressor |
pump that draws low-pressure refrigerant vapor from the low side of the refrigerant cycle and squeezes are compressible babe proportion and into the high pressure of condensing side of the cycle |
|
condenser |
In the refrigeration Cycle removes the condensation heat from the refrigerant vapor by releasing the condensation heat the vapor condenses back to liquid |
|
Convection |
The transfer of heat from one place to another by means of a liquid or gas |
|
Burnout |
The condition in wasted insulation electrical motor due to overheating |
|
Dry bulb temperature |
The air temperature taken with the sensitive element of the thermometer in a dry condition |
|
Evaporator |
A component in your refrigeration system where low pressure refrigerant vaporizes and absorbs heat (type of heat exchanger) |
|
Flash gas |
The instantaneous evaporation of liquid refrigerant after the metering device |
|
Heat |
A form of energy that when applied to a substance results in increased motion of atoms |
|
Heat exchanger |
A vessel that transfers heat from one substance to another |
|
Heat pump |
Heat pumps are similar to comfort cooling systems but they can reverse their operation to also provide heating |
|
High side |
The parts of a refrigeration system subject to a high pressure such as a compressor condenser liquid receiver and liquid line |
|
Horse power |
The US customary unit of mechanical power equal to 550 pound of work per second |
|
Latent heat |
Heat that brings about a change of state with no change in temperature |
|
Latent heat of fusion |
The amount of heat added to or removed from a substance to change it from a solid to liquid or a liquid to solid |
|
Latent heat of evaporation |
The amount of heat added to or removed from a substance to change from a liquid to a gas or gas to liquid |
|
Liquid line |
Tubing that carries liquid refrigerant from the condenser or liquid receiver line to the metering device |
|
Liquid |
Any physical substance that has no definite shape but has a definite volume a liquid take the shape of its container |
|
Liquid receiver |
A tank connected between the outlet of the condenser and a liquid line that is used for refrigerant storage located on the high side |
|
Metering device |
A device used to regulate the flow of liquid refrigerant into the evaporator such as a capillary tube expansion valve about or float valve |
|
Radiation |
The transfer of heat by heat rays |
|
refrigerant |
A substance used in a refrigeration system to absorb heat from a conditioned space and release heat outside the conditioned space |
|
Relative humidity |
A ratio of the moisture content in the air compared to the maximum amount of moisture( saturation) that the air can hold at its current temperature |
|
Saturated vapor |
In an HVACR system a refrigerant in vapor form under condition that would cause some of the vapor to condense if any amount of heat were removed from it .saturated vapor in a fix volume could also can dance if pressure is increased |
|
Accumulator |
Is a tank to help prevent liquid refrigerant from flowing through the suction line into the compressor |
|
Suction line |
Carry the refrigerant vapor from the evaporator to the compressor |
|
Suction line filter drier |
Does the same thing as a liquid line dryer but on the low side |
|
Vibration absorber |
Is a flexible type of line that carries refrigerant but also reduces for dampens any vibration or physical motion transmitted to it |
|
Muffler |
Vibration absorbing device most domestic refrigeration systems have small mufflers installed in the suction and discharge line |
|
Water valve |
Is located between the water supply in the condenser |
|
Dew point |
Is the temperature below which water vapor in the air will start to condense |
|
Hot gas defrost |
the evaporator is defrosted by hot gas refrigerant vapor pumped directly from the compressor discharge line into the evaporator tubing |
|
Heat exchanger |
Helps prevent the return of liquid refrigerant to the inlet of the compressor and provide subcooling to the liquid refrigerant before enter the evaporator |
|
Suction service valve(ssv) |
Is a low side service valve that connects to the suction line and directly onto the compressor at its outlet |
|
Discharge service valve(dsv) |
Is a high side service valve that is mounted at the compressor discharge port providing me shut off between the compressor and the condensers |
|
Discharge line |
Carries high-pressure vapor refrigerant from the compressor outlet to the condenser and let the line is also called the hot gas line |
|
Suction line |
The suction line from the evaporator outlet to the compressor inlet |
|
Psychrometer |
Use the sling psychrometer |
|
Fahrenheit |
At sea level.. Of water is 212 degrees Fahrenheit the freezing point of water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit |
|
Conduction |
The flow of heat between substance by molecular vibration |
