Chapter 1 A/C System

A/C system consists of refrigerating and heating system. The Refrigeration system mainly comprises
compressor, condenser and evaporator. The refrigerant circulation absorbs the heat in the air and discharge
the vapour to lower the temperature in and dehumidify the compartment. The heating system is mainly
composed of heat exchanger and heater. It heats the compartment throught the heat exchanger by heating
the air with the heat from the cooling water in the engine. The control of air temperature, humidity and
velocity of flow in the compartment is realized by independent or joint working of heating and Refrigeration
system.
