 | Temperature - Heat level or pressure .
The thermal state of a body with respect to its ability to pick up heat from
or pass heat to another body.
|
| Temperature-Control Lag - The delay of
action of the temperature response element due to the time required for the
element to reach the surrounding temperature.
|
| Temperature, Absolute - The
temperature at which molecular motion stops. It is the lowest
temperature possible. There is no more heat in a substance at this
point.
|
| Temperature, Design - Are the
result of a lot of testing and gathering of data in order to help with
the design of systems. It is a chart or or data base used to reference
average temperatures for most areas across the country.
|
| Temperature, Dry Bulb - It is
the temperature measured by thermometers in the home.
|
| Temperature, Wet Bulb - The
result of moisture in the air or, the saturation temperature of water
presently in the air. It is attained my using a thermometer enclosed
with a damp mesh. When air is blown past the thermometer, some of the
damp will evaporate causing cooling and lowering the temperature
reading. The difference between the dry bulb and the wet bulb
temperatures are an indication of the relative humidity of the air.
|
| Ternary - Consisting of three
single component refrigerants.
|
| Thermistor - Is a heat sensitive
resistor that changes resistance with a change in temperature.
|
| Thermocouple - A device consisting of
2 different conductors that when heated creates an electrical potential
difference.
|
| Thermodynamic - The study of the
mechanics of heat.
|
| Thermometer - A device for indicating
temperature.
|
| Thermostat- A temperature sensitive device used to control HVAC
systems.
|
| Thermostatic Valve - A precision metering device designed to
regulate the rate of refrigerant liquid flow into the evaporator in the
exact proportion to the rate of evaporation of refrigerant liquid in the
evaporator.
|
| Ton (of refrigeration) - The
amount of heat energy ( BTU'S) absorbed in the conversion of 1 Ton of ice to
1 ton of water over a 24hour period at 32oF.
|
| Total Pressure - The sum of static
pressure and velocity pressure.
|
|
Transistor - A three layer sandwich of
two different components consisting mainly of silicon semiconductor
material. The device acts as a valve and a relay for electron flow.
|
|
Transducer - A substance or device, that
converts input energy of one form into output energy of another.
|
|
Transformer - An electrical device by
which alternating current of one voltage is changed to another voltage.
|
|
TX Valve - A precision device used to regulate the rate of
refrigerant flow into the evaporator to exactly match the rate of
refrigerant evaporation .
