HVAC - Glossary of Terms:
Accumulator: Tank on the suction side of a system that holds excess refrigerant to prevent slugging the compressor with liquid. |
Air Conditioning |
Air Quality Air Quality Survey. Consultation for people suffering from allergies, respiratory issues, asthma and poor indoor air quality. |
Attic Fan |
Boiler |
Carbon Monoxide |
Central Air Conditioning |
CFM |
Chimney |
Cooling |
Condenser: The part of a refrigeration system that gives up heat from the refrigerant and changes the refrigerant from a vapor to a liquid. Condensers can be either water cooled or air cooled. |
Condensation Pump |
Compressor: The heart of any refrigeration system that pumps the refrigerant.
(absorption systems that use ammonia or lithium bromide do not have compressors). Compressors can be reciprocating, rotary, scroll, disc, or screw. |
Dehumidify, Dehumidifier, |
Ductwork |
Ductless System |
Duct Cleaning |
Diffuser |
Electronic Air Filter |
Energy Efficient, Energy Star |
Exhaust Fan |
Expansion Valve |
Evaporator: The
part of a refrigeration system that gets cold. It is called the
evaporator because it is the part of the system that evaporates the
refrigerant from liquid to vapor. |
Filter |
Flex Dust |
Forced air: heating
and or cooling system that connects to the conditioned space with
duct-work that uses air as the moving fluid. The heating or cooling can
come from any number of sources. |

HVAC(R): Heating
Ventilation and Air Conditioning an R may be added to represent
Refrigeration. |
Heat Pump: Refrigeration
device that can be used to move heat to or from air or water, or to or
from air to water then the water is used to heat or cool air. In some
parts of the world they are also known as "Reverse Cycle". |
Igniter |
Indoor coil: The
coil on a heat pump that is located inside. This is so not to be
confused with the evaporator on an air conditioning system. |
Induct Alarm |

Outdoor coil: The
coil on a heat pump system that is located out side or in the ground
loop of a ground sourced heat pump. This is so not to be confused with
the condenser on an air conditioning system. |
|
|
Packaged or
self-contained: Refrigeration system where everything including the
air moving hardware is kept in one box, such as a window air conditioner
or a roof-top unit. |
Pilot |

Radiant: System
that uses hot surfaces to radiate or convect heat into the environment.

on the liquid side of a system that holds excess refrigerant in the
system that needs to be there for proper operation. |

system where the refrigerant is piped from one part to another, such as

Split System
A Split System A/C uses the same operating system as the above. This system is usually installed where difficult locations and conditions exist. The indoor unit can be placed almost anywhere and same applies to the outdoor unit. These systems still have the two refrigerant lines and wiring between them. This system is usually the highest cost for equipment and installation. The same rules apply for size, location and heat pump availability.
A heat pump is an air conditioner running backwards. The difference between a heat pump and a normal air conditioner is that a heat pump can be used to provide both heating and cooling. The heat pump uses the same basic refrigeration cycle to do this. In other words, a heat pump can change which coil is hot and which coil is cold. This is normally achieved by a reversing valve which is set up at the unit controls and thermostat.
