performed by the manufacturer or a certified company which has the
specialized machines needed

Why is recovery important? - Precise Answer ✔✔in order to protect the


environment and human health. Depletion of ozone hurts crops, marine
life and forests and causes eye problems and skin cancer.

A refrigerant cylinder designed to hold recovered refrigerant are what


colors - Precise Answer ✔✔Grey body, Yellow top

furnace - Precise Answer ✔✔the heating capacity of an HVAC system


starts with the furnace. it represents the heart, pumping warmth to all the
parts of your home through the ventilation. it takes up a lot of space & is
Usually located in a basement or tucked away in a front hall closet

heat exchanger - Precise Answer ✔✔The heat exchanger is not part of


the furnace. It's located inside the furnace, but the heat exchanger has its
own capabilities. It adds heat to the incoming air from the combustion
chamber.

The evaporator coil - Precise Answer ✔✔converts refrigerant from


liquid to gas. The refrigerant goes through an expansion valve and then
moves into the evaporator coils. The expansion valve decreases pressure
on the refrigerant. that turns the refrigerant into a gaseous state, back
into the compressor

Refrigerant - Precise Answer ✔✔(a fluid that causes cooling) runs


through the evaporator coil.
The condensing unit. - Precise Answer ✔✔The outdoor component of a
cooling system. It includes a compressor( low pressure gas to high
pressure )and condensing coil (gas to liquid) designed to exchange heat
with the air that passes over it. A condenser unit technically is a type of
heat exchanger

refrigerant tubes. - Precise Answer ✔✔These metal tubes connect the


evaporator coil with the condensing coil. This means the refrigerant
tubes connect the indoor and outdoor HVAC units. The tubes contain
cooling refrigerant under a wide range of temperatures.

The thermostat - Precise Answer ✔✔a device used to control the


temperature

The ductwork. - Precise Answer ✔✔The air ducts move air throughout
your home. Air comes into the HVAC system through certain sections of
the ductwork.

The vents. - Precise Answer ✔✔As the air travels through the ductwork,
it enters the room through vents. Rectangular covers on the floor or
ceiling direct and take air.

The heat pump. - Precise Answer ✔✔During warm months, the heat
pump takes heat from the inside to the outside. During the cold months,
it does the opposite.
Refrigeration Cycle - Precise Answer ✔✔A cycle where energy is
transferred by heat into the system undergoing the cycle from the cold
body and energy is transferred by heat from the system to the hot body

Accumilator - Precise Answer ✔✔when refrigerant leaves the


evaporator coil as a mixture of vapor and liquid. This liquid enters the
accumulator and falls to the bottom.

refrigeration cycle diagram - Precise Answer ✔✔

Refrigeration Circuit - Precise Answer ✔✔compressor -->discharge line


condenser --->liquid line
metering device
evaporator-->suction line--> compressor

Metering Device - Precise Answer ✔✔drops pressure coming from the


liquid line to the evaporator coil

discharge line - Precise Answer ✔✔connects the compressor to the


condenser : has high pressure gas

liquid line - Precise Answer ✔✔connects the condenser to the metering


valve : has high pressure liquid
suction line - Precise Answer ✔✔connects the evaporator to the
