pressure-type air cooler
1Air conditioner — For general aspects of air conditioning, see Air conditioning. A typical home air conditioning unit. An air conditioner (often referred to as AC) is a home appliance, system, or mechanism designed to dehumidify and extract heat from an area. The… …
2Air-cooled engine — Air cooled engines rely on the circulation of air directly over hot parts of the engine to cool them.IntroductionMost modern internal combustion engines are cooled by a closed circuit carrying liquid coolant through channels in the engine block,… …
3Air dryer — A compressed air dryer is a device for removing water vapor from compressed air. Compressed air dryers are commonly found in a wide range of industrial and commercial facilities. The process of air compression concentrates atmospheric… …
4Air source heat pumps — An air source heat pump is a type of heat pump which use the outside air as a heat source or heat sink to heat or cool an interior space. Air source heat pumps are more efficient than oil, gas, and electric resistance heating in mild climates… …
5Air handler — An air handling unit; air flow is from the right to left in this case. Some AHU components shown are: 1 Supply duct 2 Fan compartment 3 Vibration isolator ( flex joint ) 4 Heating and/or cooling coil 5 Filter compartment 6 Mixed (recirculated +… …
6Air conditioning — The term air conditioning refers to the cooling and dehumidification of indoor air for thermal comfort. In a broader sense, the term can refer to any form of cooling, heating, ventilation or disinfection that modifies the condition of air.… …
7Evaporative cooler — An evaporative cooler, photographed in Rocky Ford, Colorado, used in the drier parts of the American West to provide economical cooling …
8turbocompressor-type cold air unit — One of the earliest types of cold air units in which a ram air cooled intercooler is used. The compressor feeds compressed air into the cooler from which high pressure cold air flows into the turbine, where it is expanded and cooled further …
9Solar air conditioning — refers to any air conditioning (cooling) system that uses solar power. This can be done through passive solar, photovoltaic conversion (sun to electricity), or solar thermal energy conversion. The U.S. Energy Independence and Security Act of… …
10Roots type supercharger — The Roots type supercharger or Roots blower is a positive displacement pump which operates by pulling air through a pair of meshing lobes not unlike a set of stretched gears. Air is trapped in pockets surrounding the lobes and carried from the… …
