Essentially, they work by taking warm air into a system and dispersing
cold air, but there is much more to this process.
While the basic concept behind air conditioning has been around since
the ancient Egyptian times, the very first modern air conditioning unit
was invented back in 1902 by Willis Carrier in response to an air
quality problem by a New York publishing company.
The invention not only controls the temperature, but also the humidity
of a space, cooling the air by flowing it over cold coils, allowing them
to control the moisture in the air. Shortly after, air conditioning was
introduced to cars and also to improve home comfort. Over the years,
the sales of air conditioning units increased dramatically as a result of
consumer needs.
There are many different types of air conditioning units, and which one you
choose will depend entirely on your individual needs
A great option for homes, split systems are very quiet as the
compressor and fan are located in the outside unit and allow for
multiple indoor units that are connected to a single outdoor bo
Compressor
The compressor is responsible for moving the refrigerant between the
evaporator and condenser coils, ensuring that the refrigerant changes to gas
or liquid as needed. You can think of the compressor as the heart of the air
conditioning system and the refrigerant as the blood
G.I Sheet
Galvanized iron (GI) sheets are basically steel sheets which have been coated with zinc. These sheets
include a range of hot dip galvanized and electro-galvanized steel sheet. ... It reacts with the atmosphere to
provide the base steel a protection.
Fan Motor
The air conditioner fan motor drives the AC fan, which blows air in and out of
the house. This is important for moving hot air to the outside of the building, as
well as blowing cool air through the ductwork and into the rooms. The fan motor
is a vital part that must be running well for the AC unit to do its job.
Blower
the blower serves as one of the key components of a fully functioning air
conditioning system. An air conditioner uses blowers to transfer the warm air
away from any space and replace it with cold air. It also maximizes airflow for
better circulation and machine function.
Condenser Fan
The condenser fan found inside the outdoor unit plays a critically important role in
your air conditioner's performance. The fan's motor powers the spinning
blades that create cooling air movement across the condenser coil, which
aids in heat transfer.
Starting Capacitor
The capacitors are small cylindrical shaped containers that lie inside the
housing of the air conditioner. The main purpose of them is to store energy
and provide it to the motor upon start-up and when running. They are called a
start capacitor and a run capacitor.
Running Capacitor
Once the system has started and is operating, the run capacitor takes over
and provides the extra power to run the air conditioner for long periods of
time. When the air conditioner is running, both capacitors create and store
energy for the push for the next cycle
Wires
A wire is a flexible metallic conductor, especially one made of copper,
usually insulated, and used to carry electric current in a circuit.
Relay Knob
A relay is an electrically operated switch. It consists of a set of input terminals
for a single or multiple control signals, and a set of operating contact terminals.
Switch
a control consisting of a mechanical or electrical or electronic device for
making or breaking or changing the connections in a circuit.
Plastic Grill
A grille is a vent cover through which air is blown into or out of a room for
circulation back to the central heating or cooling unit. These are commonly
found if you have heating or central air conditioning. A grille has no damper to
control air flow, so air is left to flow freely.
MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Powder coating
5 Before brackets, pans, and wrappers are assembled together, they
are fed through a powder coating operation. The powder coating
system sprays a paint-like dry powder onto the parts as they are fed
through a booth on an overhead conveyor. This can be done by robotic
sprayers that are programmed where to spray as each part feeds
through the booth on the conveyor. The parts are statically charged to
attract the powder to adhere to deep crevices and bends within each
part. The powder-coated parts are then fed through an oven, usually
with the same conveyor system, where the powder is permanently
baked onto the metal. The process takes less than 10 minutes.
FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS
Disadvantages
The most common material for turbocharger compressor wheels has been aluminum alloys. Other
materials, introduced since the 1990s, include titanium alloys, as well as magnesium and stainless steel
alloys. Turbocharger turbine wheels must withstand high temperatures, especially in gasoline
applications.
