FUNCTIONAL COMPONENT DEFINITIONS
MECHANICAL COMPONENTS
Plenum assembly Diffuser with directional louvers used to direct the conditioned airflow.
Blower wheel Attaches to the indoor side of the fan motor shaft and is used for distributing unconditioned, room side air though the heat exchanger and delivering conditioned air into the room.
Slinger fan blade Attaches to the outdoor side of the fan motor shaft and is used to move outside air through the condenser coil, while slinging condensate water out of the base pan and onto the condenser coil, thus lowering the temperature and pressures within the coil.
ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
Thermostat Used to maintain the specified room side comfort level
System switch Used to regulate the operation of the fan motor, the compressor or to turn the unit off. For troubleshoot- ing, refer to the wiring diagrams and schematics in the back of this service manual.
Capacitor Reduces line current and steadies the voltage supply, while greatly improving the torque characteristics of the fan motor and compressor motor.
Smart Fan Automatically adjusts the fan speed to main- tain the desired room temp.
MoneySaver® switch When engaged, it sends the power supply to the fan motor through the thermostat, which allows for a
Fan Motor
Heating element Electric resistance heater, available in EQ08 model.
Heat anticipator Used to provide better thermostat and room air temperature control.
HERMETIC COMPONENTS
Compressor Motorized device used to compress refrigerant
through the sealed system.
Capillary tube A cylindrical meter device used to evenly dis- tribute the flow of refrigerant to the heat exchangers (coils.)
