Heating and Cooling VRF system

The video tutorial explains the operation of a reversing valve in HVAC systems, detailing how it functions in both heating and cooling modes. It describes the flow of refrigerant through various components, such as expansion and check valves, and highlights the properties of refrigerants like R410A. The tutorial also covers how the compressor increases the temperature and pressure of the refrigerant to make thermal energy usable. The video concludes with a summary of the key points discussed.

What is the primary function of a reversing valve in HVAC systems?

• To increase the pressure of the refrigerant

• To regulate the flow of refrigerant

• To switch between heating and cooling modes

• To control the speed of the compressor

In heating mode, where does the hot refrigerant go first after leaving the compressor?

• Check valve

• Expansion valve

• Indoor heat exchanger

• Outdoor unit

During cooling mode, what happens to the thermal energy of the refrigerant?

• It is increased by the compressor

• It is stored in the expansion valve

• It is removed by the outdoor unit

• It is absorbed by the indoor unit

What is a notable characteristic of refrigerants like R410A?

• They have a high boiling point

• They are used only in heating systems

• They are not affected by pressure changes

• They have a very low boiling point

How does the compressor affect the refrigerant in the system?

• It changes the refrigerant's state from liquid to gas

• It decreases the refrigerant's volume and pressure

• It increases the refrigerant's temperature and pressure

• It cools down the refrigerant before it enters the room
