Tech Basics: The Components Of A Residential Split System
Refrigerant is the staple of the HVACR industry. Its very existence is the reason we go to work day in and day out. It runs through machinery and systems to cool commercial property, schools, and homes. It keeps food frozen and beverages cold. An accomplished knowledge of how refrigerant cools and how it interacts with system components is a fundamental building block for the HVACR technician. Today we will examine the components and parts of a residential split system.
Condenser coils - The part of the system where heat is rejected. Hot, compressed refrigerant vapor from the compressor enters the condenser, circulates through the finned tubing, gives off heat, and turns into liquid refrigerant.
