  3. OBJECTIVES After studying Chapter 4, the reader will be able to: • Discuss how heat can be transferred from one location to another. • Describe the three states of matter and the effect that heat has on them. • Discuss what latent heat is and why it is important to A/C. • Discuss how pressure is measured. • Discuss the effect that pressure has on boiling points.

  5. INTRODUCTION • In practical terms, an HVAC system moves heat. • The A/C system simply transfers the heat out of a place where it is not wanted, and the heating system moves the heat into a place where it is wanted. • Several physical principles are involved. • If we understand these basic principles, the operation of the A/C system becomes easily understandable. • This understanding, in turn, makes diagnosing and servicing an A/C system relatively easy and quite interesting.

  6. HEAT MOVEMENT • CONDUCTION • the transfer of heat between two parts of a stationary system, caused by a temperature difference between the parts. • CONVECTION • thetransfer of heat by the circulation or movement of theheatedpartsofaliquidorgas. • RADIATION • the complete process in which energy is emitted by one body, transmitted through an intervening medium or space, and absorbed by another body.

  7. STATES OF MATTER • The air-conditioning process works through a fluid, called a refrigerant, that continuously changes state from liquid to gas and back to liquid. • These changes of state are where the movement of heat needed for cooling occurs. • SOLID • LIQUID • GAS

  8. LATENT AND SENSIBLE HEAT • Sensible heat makes sense; it can be felt and measured on a thermometer. • If we have 1 lb of water at 40°F and add 1 Btu of heat to it, the temperature will increase to 41°F; adding another Btu of heat will increase the temperature to 42°F; and adding another 170 Btu (212 – 42) will increase the temperature to 212°F, the boiling point.

  9. LATENT AND SENSIBLE HEAT • Sensible heat is fairly easy to understand, but if we add more heat, an odd thing occurs. • SEE FIGURE 4–12 . • If we add another Btu of heat to water at 212°F, some of the water will boil, but the temperature of both the water and the steam produced will remain at 212°F. • The added heat has caused some of the water to change state, but it has not changed temperature. • This is an example of latent, or hidden, heat.

  10. BOILING POINTS • Boiling points can be increased or decreased by raising or lowering the pressure on the liquid. • With water, the boiling point will rise about 3°F for each pound per square inch (psi) of pressure, or about 1°C for each 5 kPa. • CRITICAL TEMPERATURE

  11. SATURATED VAPORS AND THE PRESSURE-TEMPERATURE RELATIONSHIP • Saturated vapor, also called a saturated liquid, is the term used to describe a liquid and gas inside a closed chamber, which is the condition in an A/C system. • When discussing saturated vapors, we need to learn two additional terms: subcool and superheat . • Subcool refers to a liquid whose temperature is well below its boiling point. • Superheat refers to the temperature increases of a vapor above its boiling point.

  12. PRESSURE: GAUGE AND ABSOLUTE • Pressure is defined as a certain amount of force exerted on a unit area. • Traditionally in the United States, pressure is given in pounds and the unit area in square inches, so pressure has been given in pounds per square inch (psi).

  13. REFRIGERANTS • The working fluid of an A/C system is refrigerant. • Refrigerants were first developed by the DuPont Corporation using the name Freon. • This term is used improperly by many people to mean refrigerant. • A new term, SUVA, refers to DuPont’s newer refrigerants: SUVA MP52 (a blend) and SUVA Trans A/C (134a). • There are many refrigerants, but the three main ones used in automotive and other mobile systems are R-12, R-134a, and R-1234yf.

  14. REFRIGERANTS • R-12 • R-22 • R-134A • HFO-1234YF • R-152A • R-290, PROPANE, & R-600 BUTANE • R-744, CO2 • BLENDS • REFRIGERANT OILS

  15. SUMMARY • Heat travels by either conduction, convection, or radiation. • Many compounds can be found as a solid, liquid, or vapor. • Adding heat will cause water to change from a solid to a liquid or from a liquid to a vapor. • Removing heat will cause water to change from a liquid to a solid or from a vapor to a liquid. • Sensible heat changes the temperature, and latent heat causes a change of state.

  16. SUMMARY • The boiling points of liquids can be increased or decreased by changing the pressure. • Changing the temperature of a saturated vapor will change the pressure. • Pressure is measured in psi, bar, or kPa. • Refrigerants have very low boiling points and are either a CFC, HFC, HCFC, or HFO.
