the manufacturer built into the product.

4.SYSTEM COMPONENTS AND FUNCTIONS

This section describes the various air conditioning components, their purpose and operation. This

section is only a guide and does not consider all components that could be found on an air conditioner in

the field.

COMPRESSORS

The heart of any refrigerant system is the compressor .It is a pump causing refrigerant to flow. There are

several different types of compressors ,but all use electricity to turn an electric motor to drive a pump.

Air conditioners use two types of compressors. The first is the enhanced reciprocating compressor .It

operates with an offset crankshaft and pistons, and resembles an internal combustion engine. The

driving force is supplied by an electric motor turning the crankshaft and forcing the pistons into the

cylinders where valves control the flow of refrigerant. The valves provide a seal between high and low

pressure sides of the system. If the valves are damaged ,the compressor’s reliability, efficiency and

effectiveness are reduced or eliminated

Generally, liquid refrigerant is suspected if valve damage occurs. Some compressors can tolerate the

presence of small amounts of liquid refrigerant in the returning gas, but none are designed to withstand it

continually. Returning refrigerant cools the compressor motor. Surrounding the motor with low pressure

gas gives it the name of “low-side” shell compressor.

The scroll compressor used a helix (similar in shape to a snail shell)

to move refrigerant. When placed

within a similar stationary helix, the moving helix rotates so that the space between the two constantly

decreases as the gas moves toward the center of the Scrolls. The returning refrigerant gas first cools the

motor, then flows into the suction intake of the compressor scroll. The discharge gas leaves from the

center of the helix and exits the compressor. The lower part of the shell should be cool to the touch.

All current single phase units use two types of compressors .In construction, the two compressors are

quite different. In function they are identical. Scroll units do not need start components or crankcase

heaters. The reciprocating compressor may need both. Both types benefit from using a time-delay. This
