HEATING & COOLING SYSTEM

HEATING SYSTEM

Heat is a byproduct of the engines combustion process.  The heat is absorbed by the coolant in your car's radiator.  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, temperature controls and duct controls, which select the desired temperature and direct the flow of warm air.

AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM

This system shares air ducts, controls and 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 system.
  • Condensor - As the refrigerant flows through the condensor, it gives up heat and converts from a gas to a liquid.
  • Receiver/Dryer of Accumulator - This is were clean, dry refrigerant is stored as it circulates through the system.
  • Orifice Tube or Expansion Valve - This is a metering devise that controls the flow of refrigerant through the system.

Key Benefits

  • Comfortable Climate Conditions
  • Dependability
  • Piece of Mind
