To control the rate of flow of the liquefied refrigerant between the high- and low-side pressures of the system, some form of expansion device must…
In addition to the compressor, condenser, receiver, and evaporator, several auxiliaries are required for proper operation of an air conditioning system. Certain devices must be…
The evaporator is that part of the system where the useful cooling is accomplished by removing the heat from the area to be cooled. This…
The receiver is the reservoir for excess liquefied refrigerant that is not being used in the system. Unless other conditions prevent it, the receiver should…
When the refrigerant gas leaves the compressor and enters the condenser, it contains the full load of heat, which consists of the heat picked up…
Compressors are manufactured in various sizes (depending on requirements) and are classified according to their method of operation as reciprocating, rotary, and centrifugal. The function…
