  2. Evaporative cooler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporative_cooler

    The evaporative system cannot function without exhausting the continuous supply of air from the air-conditioned area to the outside. By optimizing the placement of the cooled-air inlet, along with the layout of the house passages, related doors, and room windows, the system can be used most effectively to direct the cooled air to the required ...

  3. Thermal expansion valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_expansion_valve

    A thermal expansion valve is a key element to a heat pump; this is the cycle that makes air conditioning, or air cooling, possible.A basic refrigeration cycle consists of four major elements: a compressor, a condenser, a metering device and an evaporator.

  4. Circulation evaporator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circulation_evaporator

    The evaporator uses separate parts to create the overall system; a heat exchanger, separation tank and for the forced circulation system (as opposed to the natural circulation system) a circulation pump are standard although can be subject to change depending on the liquids properties of the mixtures being separated and specific design.

  5. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating,_ventilation,_and...

    An air conditioning system, or a standalone air conditioner, provides cooling and/or humidity control for all or part of a building. Air conditioned buildings often have sealed windows, because open windows would work against the system intended to maintain constant indoor air conditions.

  6. Ground-coupled heat exchanger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground-coupled_heat_exchanger

    The closed loop system can be more effective cooling the air (during air temperature extremes) than an open system, since it cools and recools the same air. Open system: Outside air is drawn from a filtered air intake (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value MERV 8+ air filter is recommended) to cool or preheat the air. The tubes are typically 30 m ...

  8. Heat pump and refrigeration cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_pump_and...

    Thermodynamic heat pump cycles or refrigeration cycles are the conceptual and mathematical models for heat pump, air conditioning and refrigeration systems. [1] A heat pump is a mechanical system that transmits heat from one location (the "source") at a certain temperature to another location (the "sink" or "heat sink") at a higher temperature. [2]

  9. Drain-waste-vent system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drain-waste-vent_system

    In the U.S., every plumbing fixture must also be coupled to the system's vent piping. [1] Without a vent, negative pressure can slow the flow of water leaving the system, resulting in clogs, or cause siphonage to empty a trap. The high point of the vent system (the top of its "soil stack") must be open to the exterior at atmospheric pressure.
