Component Definitions

Access Valve - Access port on the evaporator that allows service personnel to check system pressure.

Accumulator - A device installed on the suction line that is used to boil off small amounts of liquid refrig- erant so liquid does not reach the compressor.

Compressor - An electrically driven piston pump that pumps vapor refrigerant from a low pressure level to a higher pressure level.

Condenser - The component in a refrigeration system that transfers the heat that was absorbed by the refrigerant in the evaporator and the heat of compression from the system by condensing the refrigerant.

Condenser Fan - Fan that forces air through the air cooled condenser to aid heat transfer.

Dual Pressure Control - A device that protects the compressor from low charge and high pressure.

Evaporator - The component of the refrigeration system that absorbs heat from the air by boiling liquid refrigerant to vapor.

Evaporator Fans - Fans that circulate air through the case and force air through the evaporator to aid heat transfer.

Filter Drier - A device installed on the liquid line of a refrigeration system that removes water and other impurities from the refrigerant in the lines during initial start-up.

High Pressure Warning Light - Indicator light that warns the operator that the system pressure is to high.

Receiver - The component in a refrigeration system that stores liquid refrigerant that is not being used by the system in low load conditions or when the system is shut down.

Service Valve - A manually operated valve in the refrigeration system that is used for various service oper- ations such as isolating the high or low sides of the system.

Suction Line Solenoid - A device that prevents liquid from entering the compressor.

Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TXV) - A valve that controls the flow of liquid refrigerant to the evapo- rator coil and also separates the high pressure side of the system from low pressure side of the system.

Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TXV) Bulb - A bulb that is attached to the suction line of the evapora- tor that controls the TXV. Inside the bulb is a charge that reacts to temperature and regulates the flow of refrigerant through the expansion valve.
