Air conditioning: Notes
There are five main components in the climate control system:
- evaporator
- receiver drier
- compressor
- condenser
- expansion valve.
The system is filled with a suitable quantity of refrigerant and oil. The role of the oil is to lubricate and seal the compressor (piston and cylinder).
A fluorescent leak-tracing agent is added to the refrigerant. The leak-tracing agent makes it possible to trace leaks using UV light.
