2. Automotive air conditioning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_air_conditioning

   R-12, the first automotive air conditioning refrigerant, was invented in 1928 by a team of scientists put together by Thomas Midgley, Jr. The team of scientists set out to create refrigerants which led to the invention of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs). From these two inventions, two refrigerants were created, R ...

3. Thermal expansion valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_expansion_valve

   A thermal expansion valve is a key element to a heat pump; this is the cycle that makes air conditioning, or air cooling, possible. A basic refrigeration cycle consists of four major elements: a compressor, a condenser, a metering device and an evaporator. As a refrigerant passes through a circuit containing these four elements, air ...

4. Heat exchanger - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_exchanger

   Partial view into inlet plenum of shell and tube heat exchanger of a refrigerant based chiller for providing air-conditioning to a building. A heat exchanger is a system used to transfer heat between a source and a working fluid. Heat exchangers are used in both cooling and heating processes. [ 1] The fluids may be separated by a solid wall to ...

5. Heater core - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heater_core

   A heater core is a radiator -like device used in heating the cabin of a vehicle. Hot coolant from the vehicle's engine is passed through a winding tube of the core, a heat exchanger between coolant and cabin air. Fins attached to the core tubes serve to increase surface area for heat transfer to air that is forced past them by a fan, thereby ...

6. Fan coil unit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_coil_unit

   A fan coil unit ( FCU ), also known as a Vertical Fan Coil Unit ( VFCU ), is a device consisting of a heat exchanger (coil) and a fan. FCUs are commonly used in HVAC systems of residential, commercial, and industrial buildings that use ducted split air conditioning or central plant cooling. FCUs are typically connected to ductwork and a ...

7. Condenser (heat transfer) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condenser_(heat_transfer)

   A condenser is designed to transfer heat from a working fluid (e.g. water in a steam power plant) to a secondary fluid or the surrounding air. The condenser relies on the efficient heat transfer that occurs during phase changes, in this case during the condensation of a vapor into a liquid. The vapor typically enters the condenser at a ...
