Heating Ventalation and Air conditioning control systems Flashcards
what two devices are used to control flow of refrigerant into the evaporator core
thermal expansion valve and a fixed orifice tube
what is a flow restrictor located in the engine coolant water valve used for
to slow down the flow of hot coolant to allow the heat to be dissipated into the cab
an adjustable thermostatic switch will always open the switch contacts at
32F but can be set to close as high as 50 F
what are passive controls
regulating the flow of refrigerant or heater coolant without driver input
how are switches that sense low pressure connected into the system
in series with the electromagnetic clutch
the compressor will not engage if the thermostatic switch detects an
evaporator freeze up
when will the system resume operation after the low-pressure switch disengages the compressor
after the low pressure switch disengages and the 15 second delay has passed
when the air conditioning system contains a fixed expansion tube and an accumulator, the thermostatic switch may be replaced with a
clutch cycling switch ( CCOT cycling switch )
how can you check an electromagnetic clutch if it is not labeled or color coded
check the resistance of the coil a 24 v will have double resistance of 12 v
when the high pressure switch indicates a high -pressure and the compressor is disengaged what two conditions need to be met in order to resume normal operation
the high pressure switch needs to reset and the 15 second delay must have passed
what temperatures does a fixed thermostatic switch operate in
32 F to 38 F
if a electromagnetic clutch has a black lead wire it will be a
12 v clutch
how are most CCOT cycling switches and low pressure switches installed
on a 1/4 inch flair port equipped with a Schrader valve
what are the three inputs of an air conditioning management system
high pressure switch
low pressure switch
evaporator thermostatic switch
how can the doors on a HVAC duct system be controlled
. push or pull cables
. vacuum motors
. compressed air motors
. electric motors
what function does a binary switch provide
works as a low pressure switch preventing the system from operating without refrigerant or if ambient temperatures are to cold
it also de-energizes the compressor clutch if refrigerant pressures rise to unsafe levels
switches, levers, knobs and air louvers or diffusers are what type of control
Active controls
