Refrigeration cycle Vocab test

Circulation device for refrigerant in closed pipe system; designed for vapor compression only

• Compessor

• condensor

• Charlie's Law

• cold

utilized a coil, fan motor and blade to remove absorbed heat from the high pressure, high temperature refrigerant vapor it receives from the compressor

• Condenser

• Delta H

• Enthalpy

• Kelvin

component of the cycle which absorbs heat and is commonly located in the area being cooled; enclosed in a cabinet; typically A-shaped with a drain pan located at the bottom to catch condensation; typically installed on top of furnace

• Flash Gas

• Boils law

• Evaporator Coil

• condenser

temperature measurement scale utilized mainly in the United States

• Celcius

• Heat

• Cold

• Fahrenheit

WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE METERING DEVICE

• COMPRESS LIQUID

• ABSORB HEAT

• METERS FLOW OF REFRIGERANT

• JUST LOOKS GOOD

chemical compound used to absorb heat in the evaporator and release it in the condenser 

• Refrigerant

• Miscible

• Rankine

• Suction gas

measurement of heat expressed in Fahrenheit, Celsius, Rankine or Kelvin

• heat

• Temperature

• cold

• hot

heat will only flow from a substance at a higher temperature to another substance which is at a lower temperature 

• electricity

• condenser

• 2nd law of thermodynamics

• thermostat

condition which occurs when heat is absorbed by a liquid, changing the liquid to a vapor

• dilution

• Enthalpy

• Discharge gas

• Evaporation

amount of heat required to raise one pound of water 1°F

• Pounds
