Terminal Tractor Part 4 Flashcards
What does an Infrared Thermometer compare to give a temperature reading?
The heat emitted from the component emits more IR Rays than the ambient air.
Example sentence: It compares these readings to give you a temperature reading.
What is the recommended distance for an Infrared Thermometer from the component?
Depends on Manufacturer, the one below is 12”. Look for hate or rov riela of view specifications to determine.
Is R134a heavier or lighter than air?
About 3 times heavier!
Example sentence: Is R134a heavier, or lighter than air?
How does an electronic leak detector find a leak?
Ultrasonic(Sound), Meas
What gases are not contained in 1234yf refrigerant?
Gases/Chlorine/Fl ney used in crc, Hre, and HEFC Refrigerants. (R12, R134a R
What is the purpose of the blower motor in the evaporator?
The blower motor blows warm air over the cold evaporator coil.
Where is the condenser mounted?
The condenser is a heat exchanger, mounted in front of the radiator, and CAC.
What must a refrigerant have to achieve the absorption and release of heat?
To achieve the absorption and release of heat a refrigerant must have a very low boiling point.
What is the purpose of O-Rings in A/C systems?
When replacing components, always install new O-rings of the same ID and OD.
How does the TXV divide the A/C System?
The TXV divides the A/C System. A high pressure liquid enters, low pressure liquid exits into the evaporator.
What type of drive does the compressor have?
Belt Driven
What divides the A/C System?
The TXV
A high pressure liquid enters, low pressure liquid exits into the evaporator.
What indicates that the TXV is functional?
When the low side pressure gauge is “wagging” indicating opening/closing.
Example sentence: You can see the TXV is functional when the low side pressure gauge is “wagging” indicating opening/closing.
What component releases heat when changing from vapor to liquid?
Condenser
Substances release heat when changing from vapor to liquid. Which component does this occur in? Condenser
What is the purpose of the Receiver-Dryer?
Removes moisture, contaminants, and stores refrigerant.
Example sentence: the pressure liger enters the Recan, which absorbs moisture in the system, up to about 2 tablespoons.
