use vacuum pumps for a range of tasks, from aspirating and filtering, to controlling or inducing solvent evaporation in concentrators. Vacuum pumps can also be found in gel dryers, vacuum ovens, desiccators, rotary evaporators, and, perhaps most notably, mass spectrometers. Choosing the right pum...
A portable air conditioner’s primary job is to pull in room air, chill it to the correct temperature by removing heat, and then circulate the cooled air back into the area. The basic AC components involved include: The evaporator coil and the refrigerant are responsible for cooling the air...
Refrigerators and freezers consist of two basic components: a condenser coil and an evaporator coil. A liquid coolant is circulated through these coils by a compressor and a motor. The refrigerant liquid is cooled in the condenser; it then flows to the evaporator. At the evaporator, the air i...
Coils can also be called evaporators or condensers, and that's not wrong—it's just confusing in the context of a heat pump because the correct name changes when you switch from heating to cooling. So to avoid confusion, trained techs just call them the indoor coil or outdoor coil. ...
The way it works is similar to a household fridge, particularly when the battery needs cooling; the heat pump draws waste heat from the car’s electrical components, compresses it, and then transfers the hot air to the evaporator, which then emits cool air when the pressure drops as the ...
As the compressor starts, it draws in the cold refrigerant gas in liquid form as it leaves the evaporator. Refrigerators use a type of refrigerant gas that turns into a liquid at very cold temperatures: -15.9 degrees Fahrenheit. The compressor then puts pressure on the gas — compressing it....
The low-pressure liquid coolant enters the evaporator and the whole cycle repeats. Over time, heat is sucked from inside the passenger compartment to the air outside, cooling the car down. In practice, there's a second, heating loop attached to this one that can take heat from the car's...
The remaining low-pressure vapor falls through condenser coils, where it interacts with cool air from a fan. As the vapor cools, it condenses back into a liquid form, and the built-up pressure releases through the expansion valve before flowing to the evaporator coils. ...
Compressor - A pump that pressurizes refrigerant The cold side of an air conditioner contains the evaporator and a fan that blows air over the chilled coils and into the room. The hot side contains the compressor, condenser and another fan to vent hot air coming off the compressed refrigerant...
As the hot gas passes back through the condenser, it transforms back into a liquid and heads back to the evaporator to start the whole process again. Pretty cool, huh? How Much Does a Pool Heat Pump Cost? They can cost less to run than gas heaters, but may also cost more upfront be...
