System Operation Flashcards
Expansion valve
Regulates the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator
Example sentence: The expansion valve controls the amount of refrigerant entering the evaporator.
Evaporator and blower
Absorbs heat from the air and blows the cooled air into the vehicle
Evaporator and blower work together to cool the air inside the vehicle.
Compressor
Pressurizes the refrigerant to increase its temperature
The compressor plays a key role in the refrigeration cycle by pressurizing the refrigerant gas.
Drier
Removes moisture from the refrigerant
The drier helps prevent moisture from entering the system, which can cause damage.
Condenser and fan
Release heat from the refrigerant to the outside air
The condenser and fan work together to dissipate heat from the refrigerant.
