What does the "V" in "HVAC" stand for?
What is Ventilation
To get a clean, precise cut on copper tubing, this is the best tool to use.
What is a tubing cutter (pipe cutter)
A technician would advise a homeowner to regularly replace this component to ensure clean air and proper system function.
What is the Air Filter
In an HVAC system, a component that stores an electrical charge and helps start motors is called this.
What is a Capacitor
This device is used to maintain a set temperature by controlling the heating and cooling systems.
What is a Thermostat
An HVAC technician uses this to measure electrical voltage, resistance, and current.
What is a Multimeter
The movement of heat through direct contact is known as this.
What is Conduction
A heat pump operates in a similar way to an air conditioner, but it can also reverse its function to provide this during colder months.
What is Heat
Technicians use this tool to measure air pressure inside ductwork.
What is a Manometer.
This is the name of the chamber inside a furnace where the air is heated by the burning fuel.
What is the Heat Exchanger
In the HVAC field, this is what "CFM" stands for.
What is Cubic Feet per Minute
In addition to cooling the air, this is another important function of an air conditioner.
What is Dehumidifying (removing moisture).
This component of an air conditioning system absorbs heat from the indoor air.
What is the Evaporator
He is credited with inventing the first modern air conditioning system in 1902.
Who is Willis Carrier
If an air conditioning system is constantly running but not cooling, a technician might check for this issue with the refrigerant.
What is leak check
When working with electrical systems, this process is used to ensure a circuit is not energized.
What is Lockout/tagout .
A technician uses this machine to capture refrigerant from a system so that it can be recycled or reclaimed.
What is a Recovery machine
Located between the condenser and evaporator, this component controls the flow of refrigerant.
What is the Metering Device
This is the standard unit used in the U.S. to measure the cooling capacity of air conditioning equipment.
What is Tons or (12000BTU's)
This was one of the first commercial buildings in the U.S. to install air conditioning.
What is The New York Stock Exchange
Standing near a fire and feeling its warmth is an example of this type of heat transfer.
What is Radiation
A refrigerant changes from a high-pressure gas to a high-pressure liquid in this component.
What is the Condenser
This is the component (Heart) that circulates refrigerant through the system by compressing the gas.
What is the Compressor
The change of a refrigerant from a liquid to a gas is known as this process
What is Evaporation
The refrigerant absorbs heat and turns from a low-pressure liquid into a low-pressure gas in this component.
What is the Evaporator
