  2. Weather Eye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_Eye

    The Nash "All-Weather Eye" was the first automobile air conditioning system for the mass market. [2] The use of the Weather Eye name for automobile passenger heating and air conditioning systems continued in American Motors Corporation (AMC) vehicles. The design principles of the Nash Weather Eye system are now in use by nearly every motor ...

  3. Automotive air conditioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_air_conditioning

    The system drew in more outside air than contemporary systems; thus, reducing the staleness associated with automotive air conditioning at the time. Instead of plastic tubes mounted on the rear window package shelf as on GM cars, small ducts directed cool air toward the ceiling of the car where it filtered down around the passengers instead of ...

  4. Thermal expansion valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_expansion_valve

    A thermal expansion valve or thermostatic expansion valve (often abbreviated as TEV, TXV, or TX valve) is a component in vapor-compression refrigeration and air conditioning systems that controls the amount of refrigerant released into the evaporator and is intended to regulate the superheat of the refrigerant that flows out of the evaporator ...

    By contrast, corrosion inhibitors are gradually used up, and must be replenished from time to time. Larger systems (such as HVAC systems) are often monitored by specialist firms which take responsibility for adding corrosion inhibitors and regulating coolant composition. For simplicity, most automotive manufacturers recommend periodic complete ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor-compression...

    A representative pressure–volume diagram for a refrigeration cycle. Vapour-compression refrigeration or vapor-compression refrigeration system (VCRS), [1] in which the refrigerant undergoes phase changes, is one of the many refrigeration cycles and is the most widely used method for air conditioning of buildings and automobiles.

  7. Freeze stat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeze_stat

    Air coil freeze stat. A freeze stat is a temperature sensing device for HVAC that monitors a heat exchanger to prevent its coils from freezing.Freeze stats can be used on both refrigerant-to-air, and refrigerant-to-liquid type heat exchangers and serve different purposes with similar goals for each.

    n November 1954, 29-year-old Sammy Davis Jr. was driving to Hollywood when a car crash left his eye mangled beyond repair. Doubting his potential as a one-eyed entertainer, the burgeoning performer sought a solution at the same venerable institution where other misfortunate starlets had gone to fill their vacant sockets: Mager & Gougelman, a family-owned business in New York City that has ...

  9. HVAC control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVAC_control_system

    HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) equipment needs a control system to regulate the operation of a heating and/or air conditioning system. [1] Usually a sensing device is used to compare the actual state (e.g. temperature) with a target state. Then the control system draws a conclusion what action has to be taken (e.g. start the ...
