Common HVAC Terms
All
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Advanced Reciprocating Compressor |
Type of compressor that uses a more efficient process for compressing refrigerant for better cooling efficiency. |
| AFUE |
Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency. Indicated as a percentage, your furnace's AFUE tells you how much energy is being converted to heat. For example, an AFUE of 90 means that 90% of the fuel is being used to warm your home, while the other 10% escapes as exhaust with the combustion gases. |
| BTU |
British Thermal Unit. Used for both heating and cooling, BTU is a measure of the heat given off when fuel is combusted. Or for cooling, it's a measure of heat extracted from your home. One BTU is equal to the heat given off by a wooden kitchen match. |
| Capacity |
The ability of a heating or cooling system to heat or cool a given amount of space. For heating, this is usually expressed in BTU's. For cooling, it is usually given in tons. |
| Compressor |
Part of a split-system heat pump or air conditioner's outdoor unit that controls the pressure applied to the refrigerant, necessary for taking in heat to warm your home or getting rid of heat to keep your home cool. |
| Condenser Coil |
Part of the outdoor portion of a split-system air conditioner or heat pump. By converting refrigerant that is in a gas form back to a liquid, the coil sends heat carried by the refrigerant |
| Damper |
A type of 'valve' used in duct work that opens or closes to control air flow. Used in zoning to control the amount of warm or cool air entering certain areas of your home. |
| Downflow |
A type of furnace that takes cool air from the top and blows warm air to the bottom--common where your furnace must be located in a second floor closet or utility area. |
| Electronic Air Cleaner (EAC) |
An electronic device that filters out large particles and contaminants in indoor air. It then electronically pulls out tiny particles that have been magnetized, such as viruses and bacteria, drawing them to a collector plate. |
| Evaporator Coil |
Part of a split-system air conditioner or heat pump located indoors. The evaporator coil cools and dehumidifies the air by converting liquid refrigerant into a gas, which absorbs the heat from the air. The warmed refrigerant is then carried through a tube to the outdoor unit (condenser coil). |
