Does your home heating system use the air conditioner compressor for air flow?

No, the compressor only draws out the heat from air. The blower motor either blows
warm air or cold air.

Why does my home air-conditioner compressor switch on and off?
thermostat could be bad, or location of it, air flow over it.
Why is your 1988 Chevrolet 1500 air conditioner compressor locking up?
i take it that its locked up more than once . it could be that metal matter isn't getting flushed out of system when installing new compressor or its always running high pressures from not enough air flow thru condensor . if compressors lock up in less than a year of each other, it is metal in system
Which one is steady flow compressor?
Reciprocating compressor
What is the correct direction to place an air filter for an electric Heil heating and air conditioner unit?
Arrow on filter toward furnace or inline with air flow.
What is surge limit in cetrifugal compressor?
Surge Limit is the Minimum Flow Point ( in the compressor characteristic curve ) below which the compressor operation become instable. If the flow-rate is reduced, the pressure developed by the compressor decreases. Then, the pressure in the discharge line becomes greater , and the gas flow back into the compressor. As soon as the pressure in the discharge line drops to below that developed by the compressor, the gas again flows in the discharge line. Then, the cycle repeats. The oscillating pressure and flow rate will cause audible vibrations and shocks, and could damage the compressor blades, seals, and other components. Therefore, the compressor requires an antisurge control system to limit the flow rate at a minimum point, safely away from the surge limit.
How the water heating systems and space heating systems integrate with the other building services?
An integrated system for both space and water heating. Heating is accomplished in a condensing heating module having a small hot water storage reservoir to reduce burner cycling during periods of low demand. The space heating system includes a fluid flow loop with a fluid circulating pump for circulating a heat transfer fluid in the loop from the heating module to a remote space heating heat exchanger. The heating module can also supply hot water for service use. The system may be configured either as an open loop system, in which the space heating and water heating subsystem are combined and share common lines, or a closed loop system, in which the space heating subsystem fluid flow loop is isolated from the water heating subsystem.
Is the system in the flowchart a hot water system or a steam heating system?
Provide a flowchart, since your question contains insufficient information
Why do you have to wait for five minutes before restarting air conditioner?
First of all the basics of an air conditioner - (same as a fridge/freezer) one side releases heat separated with insulation to the area that cools. 5 Minutes is a good safety time (the actual is about 3 Min's wait, depending upon size). When an air conditioner runs, the compressor builds refrigerant pressure. When the compressor is shut off, either; manually or by power interruptions or by satisfying thermostat demand, it must stay off for usually 3 minutes, to allow the pressure in the system to equalize before it can be safely restarted. This temperature equalization is needed, in that one side is hot (higher pressure) & the other cold (lower pressure). Whilst the compressor is running the flow of gas (refrigerant) prevents a 'jolt or shock', however upon power loss both sides heat & cool more respectively, due to the lack of refrigerant gas flow. Thus a less than 2 min restart can cause damage. Trying to restart the air conditioner compressor before pressure equalizes is known as short cycling. If an air conditioner is short cycled the results can vary from 1) tripped air conditioner circuit breaker; 2) generator shut down on overload; 3) tripped air conditioner thermal overload (The air conditioner thermal overload will reset itself after the compressor cools. It can only be reset manually if there's a button & the hot/cold difference is resolved, or worst case 4) 'burn out' rendering the compressor broken.
What is first in last out piping arrangement?
Water is "lazy". It runs from high pressure to low pressure and always takes the path of least resistence. In order to balance the heating and distribution system so that all heating appliances in a modular hydronic system do the same amount of work, you must pipe the returns and the supplies in such a way that "in" flow of water into the heating appliances is equal to the "out" flow into the system.
What is an old gravity flow heating system?
This is a system where the boiler heated fluid flows by the principle of gravity-flow instead of pumps. This principle requires the distribution system to be sized correctly and installed with accurate slopes for the hot water to rise in and flow to the terminal units.
What does antisurge valve do in compressors?
The compressor antisurge valve opens to bypass flow from discharge to suction. This allows the compressor to flow through bypass and keeps the compressor from surging (reverse flow thru compressor). The discharge pressure does not continue to build due to closed discharge conditions.
Is rotary screw type compressor is mass flow compressor?
It depends on the size and application of the screw. If you are thinking of underhood screw compressor then they are very good compressors for running an air system. but beware of the abuse your engine will take running one of these
