Textbook Question
Chapter 16, Problem 1RQ
What is the purpose of an air-conditioning control system?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The purpose of air-conditioning control system.
Explanation of Solution
An air-conditioning system uses many electrical loads to maintain the desired temperature required by the occupants in a structure. The typical electrical loads involved in air-conditioning system are listed below:
- Blower
- Fan motor
- Compressor
- Furnace
In order to organize the operations of the above mentioned electrical loads, a control system is required. The control system must operate the respective component (electrical load) on a call for cooling and heating. The process of cooling involves compressor and fan motor. The process of heating involves furnace and blower.
Thus, the air-conditioning control system is intended to monitor the operation of an air-conditioning system.
