Trade Terms
The movement of heat from a warmer substance to a cooler substance?
Heat Trasnfer
What is burned to create heat in a common household furnace?
Fuel oil, Natural gas, or Propane
The most common method of cooling indoor spaces
Mechanical refrigeration
A heat exchanger that transfers heat from the air or liquid flowing over it to the cooler refrigerant flowing through it, typically causing the refrigerant to vaporize.
Evaporator
What is Badawi's favorite color?
Black
A word that describes a system that uses water as a heat transfer medium?
Hydronic
What pushes air over a heat exchanger?
Fan
This device creates a pressure drop within the AC system, allowing the refrigerant to expand and cool.
Metering device
A heat exchanger that transfers heat from a refrigerant to air or water flowing over it, enabling the change of state from a vapor to a liquid.
Condenser
What is Ahi's favorite fogger flavor?
Dragon Fruit lemonade

What is another common heat-exchange medium for a heating system that isn't air?
Water
An abbreviation that describes the chemical medium used to transfer heat in an air conditioning system.
Refrigerant
A device that provides the pressure drop to reduce high-pressure liquid refrigerant to a lower pressure and significantly reducing the temperature at which it boils. Also known as a metering device.
Metering device
How long is the longest hot dog ever?
668 feet
A gas that is harmful to health, potentially poisonous or fatal.

Boiler
Component in an air conditioner is responsible for absorbing heat from the indoor air and transferring it to the refrigerant.
Evaporator
A form of electromagnetic radiation naturally generated by the sun that has a shorter wavelength than visible light. UV light can also be generated artificially and used to destroy bacteria, viruses, and similar contaminants.
Ultraviolet (UV) light
How fresh is Lelands haircut?
So fresh
In a refrigerant circuit this is the mechanical device that converts low pressure, low temperature refrigerant vapor into a high pressure, high temperature refrigerant vapor.
Compressor
This component in a gas furnace must be checked for cracks, as it keeps combustion byproducts separated from the breathable air.
Heat exchanger
An AC unit, this is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit.
BTU (British Thermal Unit)
The undesirable and uncontrolled movement of air into a building through cracks and crevices.
Infiltration
