A Reverse cycle Air conditioner is MUCH more efficient than resistance heating.

It is called a heat pump, and requires that the Evaporator and Condenser coils of

a Closed Refrigerant System be reversed.

How do reverse cycle air conditioner work?

A reverse cycle air conditioner work like normal air conditioners only in reverse, transferring heat into a house instead of outside of one. It is not an air conditioner at all, but a heater.


Why you use cut-off ratio in diesel cycle not in Otto cycle?

We use cut-off ratio in diesel cycle and not in Otto cycle because it is cost effective.


Bell Coleman Cycle it is the air refregeration cycle?

The Bell-Coleman Cycle is also known as the Air-Standard Refrigeration Cycle or Reverse Brayton Cycle. This 4-process refrigeration cycle involves isentropic compression, followed by isobarric heat rejection, then isentropic expansion (usually by a turboexpander), and finally isobarric heat intake.This cycle is commonly used in jet aircraft, using engine bleed air for compression and venting to the atmosphere. It is also commonly used in commercial air liquification plants.


What is meant by negative half-cycle of an alternating current?

Alternating current varies in magnitude, and reverses direction every half-cycle. When the current is drifting in one direction we allocate it a 'positive' direction; when it reverses direction we allocate it a 'negative' direction. So the positive half-cycle refers to its variation in current during its forward or positive direction and the negative half-cycle refers to its variation in current during its reverse or negative direction.


How does a diode act as a half wave rectifier?

The diode is a unidirectional device it allows current to pass through it only when it is forward biased and does not allow when reverse biased when ac signal is supplied in the positive half cycle of the ac wave signal the diode will b in forward biase n in the negative half cycle it is in reverse bias .Hence it allows only the positive half cycle current to flow through it the resultant wave form will b only in one direction ,i.e,dc signal with ripples. only half of the wave is rectified hence it acts as a half wave rectifier

What are the benefits of using a reverse cycle air conditioner in your home?

A reverse cycle air conditioner can both cool and heat your home efficiently, saving energy and money. It provides consistent temperature control and can be more cost-effective than using separate heating and cooling systems.

Winter Words - song cycle - was created in 1954.


Why does not the cycle travel backwards when you pedal it in the reverse direction?

If the cycle has a fixed wheel with no release ratchet then it will go in reverse when you pedal backwards.

Explain the reverse carnot cycle and from them go to ac?

Carnot Cycle is an ideal thermodynamic cycle that describes the functioning of a perfect heat engine. In the refrigeration system we need a cooling effect. So, in effect, refrigeration cycle is reverse in process than that of a carnot cycle, and ofcourse not ideal. Air-conditioners also run on the similar cycle as refrigerators.


How is retrovirus different from DNA virus?

Retro virus has reverse transcription in its replication cycle. In other words, rna is template for synthesis of dna. With dna virus, there is no reverse transcription in the replication cycle. Dna is the template for dna synthesis.
