Automotive Repair Glossary : Air Conditioning (A/C) Definition

Air Conditioning (A/C)

Definition: A system that cools and dehumidifies air entering the passenger compartment. The system uses a refrigerant to cool the air and carry heat away from the passenger compartment. Major system components include a compressor, condenser, evaporator, accumulator or receiver/dryer, and orifice tube or expansion valve. Do not intermix different types of refrigerants in an A/C system. Use the type specified by the vehicle manufacturer (R-12 for most 1994 and older vehicles, or R-134a for most 1995 and newer vehicles).
