Heating AC and Engine Cooling

Heating, air conditioning (AC) and engine cooling require a radiator to transfer heat. Heating a cabin requires heat to be transferred from an engine block. Engine cooling blows the heat out of the engine. AC uses refrigerants to cool air.

What are the answer to cool drink cool drinks word ladder?

Oh, dude, a word ladder for "cool" to "drink" would go like this: cool, pool, poll, pole, pole, poke, pike, dike, diak, diks, disk, and finally drink. It's like climbing a linguistic mountain, but with less sweat and more letters. So, there you go, the answer to your cool drink word ladder quest.

What are the 3 Measurements of Heat?

The three measurements of heat are temperature, specific heat capacity, and heat capacity. Temperature measures the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance, while specific heat capacity is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree Celsius. Heat capacity is the total amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius.

How does a mixture of Antifreeze and water in a cars radiator create a solution that is able to absorb heat?

The water in the mixture is what dose most of the cooling. when the engine gets hot the heat transfers to cooler object around it such as the air surrounding the engine and the coolant flowing threw the engine. After the coolant gets hot the water pump pushes the coolant threw the radiator. once the coolant gets to the radiator air flows threw the fins of the radiator and it cools the coolant inside. the antifreeze chemically raises the boiling point of the water so it can absorb heat at temperatures higher than boiling point. the coolants also lowers the freezing point so that the water dose not freeze in the winter. Some coolants have corrosion protectors. it all depends on what the car manufacturer wants in there cars.

I know you didn't ask for this much detail but i hope it was helpful!

What problem did the refrigerator solve?

Food does not go bad anymore, meaning food can be stored, meaning that more food could be made because more would be wasted, meaning agriculture benefited from the fridge, and so did companies that make the fridge. +1 point for capitalism.

Can you refrigerate an open can of food?

My family has for as long as I can remember and We're still well and healthy. Just use common sense and use it as soon as possible and if there's the slightest hint (bad smell or taste) of spoilage, toss it. We always cover can tightly w/plastic wrap fastened with a rubber band. I would'nt keep it more than 3 or 4 days max.

How was the refrigerator?

Refrigerator was just like a air conditioner and a magnet of Tom Swayer.

How long does it take for a nail to evaporate?

What evaporates into the air?

Water evaporates into the air, along with other volatile substances such as alcohol, gasoline, and perfumes. Evaporation is the process by which a liquid turns into a gas due to heat energy breaking the bonds between the liquid molecules.

What causes the water temperature to rise when the car is turned off after running?

A certain amount of the energy carried by the cooling water, is kinetic energy, from the circulation through the cooling system. When the engine is turned off, the water stops circulating. The kinetic energy contained in the water is converted to heat, thus raising the temperature of the coolant.

Where does magma cool?

Magma cools and solidifies either underground within the Earth's crust, forming intrusive igneous rocks like granite, or when it erupts onto the Earth's surface as lava and cools quickly, forming extrusive igneous rocks like basalt.

Why does the inside of the window fog up on a cold day?

  • When people breath they breath out moisture. Most air that we breath has a certain amount of moisture in it unless you are in the desert or air conditioning.
  • Dry air causes our noses to dry out and become uncomfortable.
  • Water needs energy to evaporate and stay as a vapour.
  • These vapour particles lose energy as they strike the cold glass.
  • The vapour then condenses and turns back into liquid water.
  • This is really noticeable when sitting in a car on a cold day. The small air volume in the car soon becomes quite moist from people's breath and condenses on the windows.

Is there such thing as hot air and cold air?

Yes, there is hot air and cold air. Hot air is air that has been heated and has a higher temperature, while cold air is air that has a lower temperature. Temperature differences in the air can affect weather patterns and create variations in temperature in different regions.

Temperature switches will not work ac compresser activates even when heat on?

It sounds like there may be an issue with the wiring or controls of your temperature switches. Check to see if the wiring is connected properly and if the controls are functioning correctly. If the issue persists, it may be best to consult a professional HVAC technician for further troubleshooting and repairs.

What is the degree of hot or cold?

The degree of hot or cold is measured on a temperature scale, typically in Celsius or Fahrenheit. Hot temperatures are associated with higher numbers, while cold temperatures are associated with lower numbers.

What makes the water in the reservoir boil out on my car?

The water in the reservoir of your car may boil out due to a few reasons such as a malfunctioning radiator cap, a leak in the cooling system, or overheating of the engine. It is important to check for any leaks, ensure proper functioning of the radiator cap, and maintain the cooling system to prevent this issue.

What would stop freon from flowing into the low pressure port during a needed recharge-the clutch is engaged on the compressor and the max air is on-gauge shows low pressure but freon won't flow?

Possible reasons for freon not flowing into the low-pressure port during a recharge could be a blockage or restriction in the system, a malfunctioning metering device like the expansion valve, or an issue with the compressor not creating sufficient suction. It's important to diagnose the problem accurately to ensure a successful recharge.

In a 93 Olds Silhouette what would cause there to be oil in the water but no water in the oil?

if this vehicle is automatic,the most likely cause would be the transmission fluid cooler. it is a tank inside the radiator that cools the transmission fluid. if by any reason the tank leaks it would contaminate your water/coolant/antifreeze.

answer a cracked head will allow oil into water jacket in head, going from there thru to radiator if it was a bad head gasket, u would have water in oil instead

Does warm or cool air defrost car windows faster and why?

If the window has FROST on it you will need warm air to melt the ice. If the inside of the window has vapor on it you need DRY air. When you turn the defroster on (in most vehicles) the air conditioning compressor starts to run as well, drying out the air. The temperature should also be as warm as is comfortable for the driver. When the dried air is blown across the window, the water vapor evaporates and you can see again.

CORRECTION:

So in reality, the "pump" or compressor has no actual drying affect on the air, the compressor itself is a closed system pump, that forces gas into a compressed tube, and then upon release of the gas the tubing freezes. The a/c fan then blows outside air over the frozen tubing, which looks like a tiny little radiator, thus cooling the outside air.

During the winter, people typically do no use their a/c system (unless they live in the southwest US or someplace HOT), which basically would mean that for many months the A/C pump, tubing, condenser and other components would suffer from what's basically called "Lot Rot". Rust would build up from trapped moisture, the lubrication that keeps the pump nice and smooth would pool up and dry off the moving parts. And when the summer time hit and someone turned their A/C on it would sputter and spit and probably seize the pump. Therefore, an ingenious engineer figured out to wire the A/C system to the Defrost button, since they use very different air intakes. So you can send warm mixed air to the defrost vent, and at the same time keep the A/C system running and lubricated through the long winter months. So your A/C runs when you push defrost not to dehumidify your air, but to keep you A/C system from taking a crap in the winter.

The reason you would see an affect on fogged windows from using the A/C switch, is because it's bringing in outside cooler air, which is probably far less humid than the air you've been breathing that fogged up the window in the first place. Dry external air, whisks away the water vapor on the windows. The cooler air also has an impact on the air that was fogging the window, in that it cools the air bringing it farther away from it's condensation point and causing it to reabsorb the moisture it shed on the glass.

The defrost system, is of course by name designed to get rid of "frost", but it also uses outside air mixed with heated air to give you the same affect of removing fog. However, not only does it bring in external dry air, it also brings the temperature of the glass up, which changes the condensation capability of the air on the glass.

Take your mind back to last summer, when you had a nice cold beer on a hot day, the can sweats, water drips off the cold can because of condensation of moisture in the air on the cool can surface. Think of your cold windshield, it's probably just as cold as that beer, and the air you are exhaling and sitting in is warm and juicy, so the glass fogs up. You can either heat the glass, cool the air in the car, introduce dry air to the car, or pull over and get a beer. Basically, I would suggest that the defrost feature offers two of the 3 viable options, it heats the glass, and it brings in external warmed dry air directly onto the glass to whisk the moisture up and prevent further condensation. The A/C option only brings in cooled dry air. Which works faster? maybe A/C does or maybe not, I think it depends on how warm your engine is, since A/C can be cold in seconds, but heat takes many minutes to manifest. I think the better question is which works longer and is more comfortable, I think that's definitely the defrost.

ADDITION to CORRECTION:

The above "Correction" piece is by far the best answer I've seen on the web that bests answers the question: how to defrost/defog your car window. For what it's worth, the Correction piece is spot on about the A/C being used in the winter months as a maintenance issue. However, there is a correction (or at least some additional piece of information) to make the above answer a bit more precise.

A/C operation:

The A/C operation described above is a bit unclear. Refrigerant is compressed to around 100psi as a gas (today its r-134a) by the compressor. Then, this gas is sent to the condenser which cools the high pressure, high temperature gas into a lower temperature gas. This gas turns into a liquid by the time it leaves the condenser. This liquid (highly pressurized) is sent through tubing until just before the evaporator it is sent through a fixed orifice that quickly depressurizes the liquid and quickly turns back into a gas. That is, it evaporates. When this refrigerant evaporates, it absorbs heat; thus, we get a cold sensation. Since the boiling point of r-134a is around 35 deg f, the air around the evaporator will be about 35 deg f. As the gas evaporates in the evaporator, a blower motor blows air across the evaporator and sends this cold air (about 35 deg f) into the passenger compartment. Thus, cold air.

--

A/C as a dehumidifier:

The A/C does dry the air, but only in warm temperatures (i.e. you will see the moisture dripping from underneath your car). This moisture comes from the evaporator drain (which is inside the passenger compartment). So inside air is actually being 'dried' in the warmer months. So, the above statement about the A/C not drying the air , however, is true only if it is cold out.

--

A/C bringing in outside air:

The A/C system doesn't necessarily introduce outside air. The blower motor is inside the vehicle and blows inside air or outside air (depending on the recirculation door position) across the evaporator, then the heater core. Thus, if the A/C is on and the recirculation door is closed (closing off outside air) then no external air is introduced, and defogging doesn't occur. BUT, if your car lets you turn on defrost (which always brings in outside air) and ac, then of course, external air is introduced. So, although technical points, I add these facts. Thanks to whoever posted the above "Correction" piece as I learned a lot from it. Thanks, and I hope my little piece shed some light.

Why does the air conditioner get cold than hot than cold hot etc every couple of minutes you had it drained vacuumed with new freon Tested for leaks none need help?

We're assuming the compressor is always running (not cycling), during this time that it's getting cool, then warm/ hot? If the compressor cycling during this time (air getting cool, then hot or warm)- you likely need to concentrate on the electrics that make the compressor run (ei, pressure switch, electric clutch, etc.) answer u need a new drier and the correct amount of gas in system checked a drier is not much to buy

I have a 1992 Ford Aerostar Van that blows luke warm air up front and cold air in the rear. I replaced the thermostat and both heater cores with no improvement. Any suggestions?

It is possible that there is an issue with the blend door actuator or the heater control valve. These components control the temperature distribution between the front and rear heating systems. I recommend checking these components to see if they are functioning properly.

Why is the water boiling over in your car but it is not marking hot?

The boiling point of water is 212 degrees, most vehicles now days operate ftom 205 to 215. A 50% mix of distilled water and antifreeze will extend the the boiling point to 265 degrees at sea level. If you go up in elevation the boiling point will decrease, so make sure you have a known good or new radiator cap to prevent premature water boiling in higher elevations

Are Asian people cool?

It is not accurate or fair to generalize an entire racial group as being cool or not cool. People's personalities and traits vary regardless of their race. It's important to treat individuals as individuals and not make assumptions based on their ethnicity.
