  2. Automotive air conditioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_air_conditioning

    The main evaporator and blower system took up half of the trunk space (though this became less of a problem as trunks became larger in the post-war period). It was superseded by more efficient systems in the post-war years. It had no temperature thermostat or shut-off mechanism other than switching the blower off.

  3. Vacuum switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_switch

    The vacuum flowed through the switch to a vacuum solenoid (such as a heat riser, used to restrict exhaust allowing the engine to heat up faster). When the coolant heated to operating temperature the vacuum switch closed off the port (port S on the vacuum switch) turning off the vacuum to the heat riser. The result is to clear the exhaust ...

  4. HVAC control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVAC_control_system

    Another sign that could mean that the HVAC system is not running perfectly fine is if there is a bad smell to the air that it is providing. That often means that the air filters need to be replaced. Changing the air filters on an HVAC system is really important because they are exposed to a lot of dust depending on where your HVAC system is and ...

  5. Anderson (automobile) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anderson_(automobile)

    The Anderson was a United States automobile; considered the most successful automobile ever built in the Southern United States, it was manufactured by a carriage works from 1916 to 1925 in Rock Hill, South Carolina. Started by John Gary Anderson, the company sold cars through a national dealer network.

  6. Blowoff valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowoff_valve

    A vacuum hose connected to the intake manifold downstream of the throttle provides a reference pressure for the blowoff valve.. When the throttle is open, the air pressure on both sides of the blowoff valve's piston is equal, therefore the spring holds the valve closed.

  7. Heat recovery ventilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_recovery_ventilation

    Diagramatic operation of a thermal wheel Ljungström Air Preheater by Swedish engineer Fredrik Ljungström (1875–1964). A thermal wheel, also known as a rotary heat exchanger, or rotary air-to-air enthalpy wheel, energy recovery wheel, or heat recovery wheel, is a type of energy recovery heat exchanger positioned within the supply and exhaust air streams of air-handling units or rooftop ...

  8. Heater core - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heater_core

    In a car equipped with air conditioning, outside air, or cabin air if the recirculation flap has been set to close the external air passages, is first forced, often after being filtered by a cabin air filter, through the air conditioner's evaporator coil. This can be thought of as a heater core filled with very cold liquid that is undergoing a ...

  9. Manifold vacuum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifold_vacuum

    Manifold vacuum, or engine vacuum in a petrol engine is the difference in air pressure between the engine's intake manifold and Earth's atmosphere. Manifold vacuum is an effect of a piston's movement on the induction stroke and the airflow through a throttle in the intervening carburetor or throttle body leading to the intake manifold. It is a ...
