HEATER CONTROL VALVEHEATER CONTROL VALVE It controls the flow of It controls the flow of

coolant into the heater core coolant into the heater core from the engine.from the engine.

In a closed position, the In a closed position, the valve allows no flow of hot valve allows no flow of hot coolant to the heater core, coolant to the heater core, keeping it cool.keeping it cool.

In a open position, the allow In a open position, the allow heated coolant to circulate heated coolant to circulate through the heater core.through the heater core.

The blower motor is located The blower motor is located in heater housing assembly, in heater housing assembly, it is used to ensure air it is used to ensure air circulate through out the circulate through out the system. It speed is system. It speed is controlled by multiposition controlled by multiposition switch.switch.

THEORY OF AIR-CONDITIONINGTHEORY OF AIR-CONDITIONING All air conditioning system are based on three thee All air conditioning system are based on three thee

fundamental law of nature.fundamental law of nature.

HEAT FLOW : Greater the temperature difference between HEAT FLOW : Greater the temperature difference between the object, greater the heat flow.the object, greater the heat flow.

HEAT ABSORBTION: When changes from one state to HEAT ABSORBTION: When changes from one state to another, absorption or rejection of heat takes place.another, absorption or rejection of heat takes place.

PRESSURE AND BOILING POINTS: The greater the pressure PRESSURE AND BOILING POINTS: The greater the pressure on a substance, such as a liquid, changes its boiling point.on a substance, such as a liquid, changes its boiling point.

Greater the pressure higher the boiling point and lesser Greater the pressure higher the boiling point and lesser the pressure lower is the boiling point. the pressure lower is the boiling point.

REFRIGERANTS IN AIR REFRIGERANTS IN AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMCONDITIONING SYSTEM

The substance used to remove heat from the The substance used to remove heat from the inside of an air conditioned vehicle is called inside of an air conditioned vehicle is called the refrigerant.the refrigerant.

Older refrigerant used in AC was R-12.Older refrigerant used in AC was R-12.

The latest AC system uses R-134a,this The latest AC system uses R-134a,this refrigerant may also referred to as SUVA.refrigerant may also referred to as SUVA.

COMPRESSORCOMPRESSOR The compressor is heart of automotive AC system. The compressor is heart of automotive AC system.

It separates the high pressure and low pressure It separates the high pressure and low pressure sides of the system.sides of the system.

The primary function is to draw the low pressure The primary function is to draw the low pressure and low temperature vapor from the evaporator and and low temperature vapor from the evaporator and compress this vapor into high-temperature, high compress this vapor into high-temperature, high pressure vapor.pressure vapor.

The secondary function is to circulate the The secondary function is to circulate the refrigerant through the AC systemrefrigerant through the AC system

It is driven by the engines crankshaft via a drive It is driven by the engines crankshaft via a drive belt. belt.

Types of compressorTypes of compressor PISTON COMPRESSOR: This type of compressor PISTON COMPRESSOR: This type of compressor

can have its piston arranged in an in-line, axial, can have its piston arranged in an in-line, axial, radial or V-design. radial or V-design.

On the intake stroke, the refrigerant from the low On the intake stroke, the refrigerant from the low side of the system is drawn into the compressor.side of the system is drawn into the compressor.

During compression stroke, the refigerant is During compression stroke, the refigerant is compressed.compressed.

This increase both the pressure and the This increase both the pressure and the temperature of the heat carrying refrigerant. temperature of the heat carrying refrigerant.
