Heating System
Heat is a byproduct of the engine's combustion
process. The heat is absorbed by the coolant in your car's
radiator. The coolant is then circulated through the heater
core before returning to the radiator. The heating system also
includes a series of air ducts, a blower motor and fan, and
temperature and duct controls, which selct the desired
temperature and direct the flow of warm
air.
Air Conditioning
System
This system shares air ducts, controls and a
blower with the heater, but has its own refrigerant system.
The air conditioning system is comprised of the following
components:
Compressor
This is a pump that
pressurizes and circulates the refrigerant through the
syste
Condensor
As the refrigerant
flows through the condensor, it gives up heat and converts
from gas to liquid.
Receiver/Dryer or
Accumulator
This is where clean,
dry refrigerant is stored as it circulates through the
system.
