Some basics about matter and energy

Here are some things I have learned about matter and energy while attending college for hvac/r.

*Matter is a substance that takes up space and has a weight

*The density of a substance tells us its mass-to-volume relationship

*An example of fossil fuel is natural gas

*There are 746 watts of electrical power in 1 horsepower

*Gas molecules travel in a downward, upward, and sideways direction

*The only new energy we get is from the sun

*The law of conservation of energy states that Energy can neither be created nor destroyed but it can be converted from one form to another

*Work is equal to force x distance

*Matter can be either be a solid, liquid,or a gas.

Refrigeration Trainer Units

Here is the front view of the refrigeration unit.

This picture was taken in 2007 in the HVAC/R class room that. I went to college in Washington State.

Here you can see the compressor on the right (the black shell) and the condenser on the left with a cage around the condenser fan.

Refrigeration Trainer Units

Here is a refrigeration unit at the HVAC/R class that I went to. These were "miniature" refrigeration units that the school provided for the students to practice/ learn about refrigeration on.

This is the back of the unit. We used to call them "refer units" (refrigeration units). In this photo you can see the main power box and the condenser (the black rectangle).

Hello!

Hello this blog is about everything HVAC/R ( heating ventilation air conditioning and refrigeration). With some pictures, videos, some general knowledge, and tips. Would love for anyone to post up their experiences, stories, and comments. Hope you enjoy this blog!
