3. | Air conditioning system switch that cuts off the refrigeration system pressure if the pressure becomes so high that the compressor could be damaged or refrigerant lost. |
10. | Unit in air conditioning system used to transform refrigerant from a liquid to a gas. It is at this point that cooling takes place. |
11. | Receiver-dehydrator combination. |
15. | Pressure-regulating valves. |
16. | Liquid used in refrigeration systems to remove heat from evaporator coils and carry it to condenser |
19. | Special oil that lubricates air conditioning compressor. |
21. | Significant New Alternatives Program of the Environmental Protection Agency. A program to identify refrigerants that can be used to replace R-12. Refrigerants found acceptable for their impact on global warming might not perform well in an air conditioning system. |
24. | Process of converting an air-conditioning system that uses R-12 to handle R-134a refrigerant. |
25. | Diaphragm pump used to produce vacuum. |
26. | System used to control the temperature, movement, cleanliness and humidity of air in a vehicle |
27. | A manifold assembly containing two pressure gauges (one high, one low), two gauge valves, and three outlet connections. Used to service (discharge, charge, evacuate) air conditioning system |
30. | Device used to raise pressure of refrigerant in an air conditioning system. Also causes refrigerant to flow through system. |
31. | A federal agency concerned with air, water, and ground pollution reduction. |
32. | Refrigeration system with a fixed (does not change size) orifice tube. Evaporator pressure is controlled by turning the compressor clutch on and off |
33. | A very toxic (poisonous) gas. Can be formed when refrigerant is exposed to an open flame. |
35. | An electrically operated instrument used to test air conditioning system for refrigerant leaks. |
36. | A microorganism killer. |
37. | Fittings that connect the refrigeration system to the service hoses. |
38. | Valve that stops the flow of engine coolant through the heater core when heating is not needed. |
39. | Resistor that changes its resistance in relation to temperature. |
41. | Having the ability to absorb moisture from air. |
42. | Term for a refrigerant that can be mixed with the existing refrigerant in an air conditioner. |
44. | Unit in air conditioning system that cools hot compressed refrigerant and turns it from vapor into liquid. |
