Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning 101
Basic elements of an HVAC system:
- Thermostat – Controls the temperature and operating mode of the system.
- Refrigerant – A chemical compound which allows for heat transfer in an HVAC system. Also known as “freon”.
- Condenser – Designed to dissipate heat carried by the circulating refrigerant.
- Compressor – A pump which pressurizes the refrigerant allowing it to flow between the coils.
- Evaporator – Usually located within a sealed duct in an attic or closet. When the system is set to “cool”, air flows over coils that contain the refrigerant.
- Ductwork – A sealed pathway which allows for air circulation throughout a dwelling.
- Fan motors – Drives air circulation in an HVAC system.
- Furnace – When the system is set to “heat”, heating elements activate or natural gas burners ignite, depending if the furnace is electric or natural gas.
