What is a Refrigerating Condensing Unit?

Accepted Answer

A Refrigerating Condensing Unit (CONDENSING UNIT,REFRIGERATING) is an assembly consisting of a compressor, condenser, drive, driving component and pertinent controls, which has the function of converting low pressure vapor into high pressure liquid.

Question 8

What is an Air Cooler Unit?

Accepted Answer

An Air Cooler Unit (COOLER UNIT,AIR) is a unit comprising a fin and tube heat transfer element, filters and may or may not have a motor driven fan, inclosed in a casing for the purpose of cooling and removing moisture from the air in a space where the unit is installed. It may include electric heater and/or electrostatic precipitator. Excludes units containing compressor, condenser and means for introducing air from outside sources.

Question 9

What is a Refrigerant Heat Interchanger?

Accepted Answer

A Refrigerant Heat Interchanger (HEAT INTERCHANGER,REFRIGERANT) is an apparatus designed to lower the temperature of the liquid refrigerant and raise the temperature of the suction vapor by permitting the transfer of heat from both through the walls of the separating chambers.

Question 10

What is a Refrigerant Charging And Testing Manifold?

Accepted Answer

A Refrigerant Charging And Testing Manifold (MANIFOLD,CHARGING AND TESTING,REFRIGERANT) is an item consisting of one or more manually controlled valves, service, and cross sections. It is specifically designed for use in refrigeration or air conditioning systems to set expansion valves, purge air or overcharge out of the system and the like.

Question 11

What is a Liquid Refrigerant Receiver?

Accepted Answer

A Liquid Refrigerant Receiver (RECEIVER,LIQUID REFRIGERANT) is an item used on the high pressure side of a refrigerant compressor as a reservoir for the liquid refrigerant and provides a positive seal to prevent the escape of uncondensed gases to the expansion values. Excludes ACCUMULATOR, REFRIGERANT.

Question 12

What is a Compressor Piston?

Accepted Answer

A Compressor Piston (PISTON,COMPRESSOR) is a cylindrical piece which moves or reciprocates in a cylinder to compress air or gas from an initial intake pressure to a higher discharge pressure. May include integral connecting rod.

Question 13

What is a Refrigeration Compressor?

Accepted Answer

A Refrigeration Compressor (COMPRESSOR,REFRIGERATION) is a centrifugal, reciprocating, or rotary compressor designed to compress refrigerant gas(es) from an initial intake pressure to a final discharge pressure. It is designed to be driven by an independent power source, such as an electric motor, gasoline or diesel engine, or the like. It does not include the prime mover, condenser(s), external filter-drivers, and the like. It may include various peripheral components such as drive pulley, flexible coupling, and the like.

Question 14

What is a Refrigeration Compressor Unit?

Accepted Answer

A Refrigeration Compressor Unit (COMPRESSOR UNIT,REFRIGERATION) is an item consisting of a refrigeration compressor and prime mover, it may be open or enclosed in a hermetically sealed housing, having inlet and outlet connections and facilities for mounting.

Question 15

What is a Fluid Filter?

Accepted Answer

A Fluid Filter (FILTER,FLUID) is a filter having inlet and outlet connections and designed to be connected in a pipe, tube or hose line. For spin-on, base-mounted filtering devices with integral outer casings, see FILTER ELEMENT, FLUID. Excludes AIR CONDITIONER.

Question 16

What is an Air Conditioning Filter Media?

Accepted Answer

An Air Conditioning Filter Media (FILTER MEDIA,AIR CONDITIONING) is a replaceable device designed to remove dust, pollen or other foreign matter from the air passing through it. The removal of particles is accomplished by porous, fibrous or shredded material &#40;metallic or non-metallic&#41; which is loosely woven or matted, the shape of which may be maintained by stiffening or binding material. It is designed to fit into a FILTER ELEMENT, AIR CONDITIONING or for direct application to air conditioners, ventilation systems, hot air furnaces, and electrical and electronic equipment which have retaining devices. It may be furnished in custom size form or in a continuous length. Excludes FILTERING PAD, AIR COOLER&#59; and FILTERING ROLL, AIR CONDITIONING. Excludes bulk materials not specifically designed for filtering. See also INSULATION BLANKET, THERMAL&#59; PLASTIC MATERIAL, CELLULAR&#59; RUBBER SHEET, CELLULAR.

Question 17

What is a Refrigerant Filter-Drier?

Accepted Answer

A Refrigerant Filter-Drier (FILTER-DRIER,REFRIGERANT) is a device consisting of a metal cylinder filled or to be filled with a desiccant, placed in the liquid or suction line of a mechanical refrigeration system for the purpose of removing moisture and/or foreign matter. It may have an integral strainer.

Question 18

What is a Refrigeration Condenser?

Accepted Answer

A Refrigeration Condenser (CONDENSER,REFRIGERATION) is a self-contained heat transfer device which receives high pressure gas at temperatures above that of the cooling medium, to which the device passes latent heat from the refrigerant gas, thereby causing it to liquefy.

Question 19

What is a Refrigeration Evaporator Coil?

Accepted Answer

A Refrigeration Evaporator Coil (EVAPORATOR COIL,REFRIGERATION) is a direct expansion refrigerating cooling element where the liquid refrigerant boils or evaporates and absorbs heat.

Question 20

What is a Refrigeration Condenser Coil?

Accepted Answer

A Refrigeration Condenser Coil (CONDENSER COIL,REFRIGERATION) is an item generally consisting of one or more turns of tubing or similar material which receives high pressure gas at temperatures above that of the cooling medium and passes latent heat from the refrigerant gas, causing it to liquefy. This item does not include the housing and fan(s).
