S. 2 - vaporous 3 - liquid 4 - solid If water is heated in a container (heat absorption) rising water vapour is visible. If the vapour is heated even more through heat absorption, the visible vapour becomes invisible gas. The procedure is reversible. If the heat content is extracted from the gaseous water, this results first of all in vapour, from this the vapour turns into water and then into ice. A - Heat absorption B - Heat dissipation 1.3.2 Heat always flows from a warmer sub‐ stance to a colder substance Each substance consists of a mass of moving molecules. The fast moving molecules of a warmer substance give up a part of their energy to the molecules which are slower and have less heat. This slows down the molecular movement of the warm‐ er substance and the molecular movement of the colder sub‐ stance is accelerated. This happens until the molecules of both substances move with the same speed. Then they have the same temperature and no further heat exchange takes place. 1.3.3 Pressure and boiling point The boiling point of a liquid given in the tables always refers to the atmospheric pressure of 1 bar. If the pressure of a liquid changes, so does its boiling point. It is known, for example, that water boils at lower temperatures the lower the pressure. Based on the vapour pressure curves for water and refrigerant R134a it can be recognised, for example, that while maintaining pressure, by lowering the temperature, the vapour turns to liquid (in the condenser), or that, for example, by reducing the pres‐ sure, the refrigerant turns from the liquid state into the vapour state (evaporator).

This comfort is only possible through the use of an air conditioning system, especially in warm temperatures and at high humidity. Open windows, an open sliding sunroof or a higher air flow rate cer‐ tainly contribute to the comfort, but there are disadvantages for the vehicle interior, such as: additional noise, draught, exhaust, unfiltered infiltration of pollen and dust (unpleasant for allergy sufferers). Through a controlled air conditioning system, in combination with a well-designed heating and ventilation system, the feeling of well-being and comfort can be achieved by controlling the indoor temperature, humidity and air movement, according to the external conditions. This is possible when the vehicle is stationary as well as when driving. Further important advantages of the air conditioning system are: Citigo 2012 ➤, Fabia 2000 ➤, Fabia II 2007 ➤, Fabia II 2009 ➤, Fabia II 2011 ➤, ...

In order to provide agreeable temper‐ atures for the passengers on very hot days, some of the ambi‐ ent heat must be evacuated. As it is a well known fact that heat spreads towards colder temperatures, an aggregate that generates lower temperatures has been fitted to the vehicle, i.e. the evaporator. Refrigerant is continuously evaporated in this evaporator. The heat required for this operation is drawn from the air flowing through the evap‐ orator. The refrigerant gas together with the absorbed heat is pumped out of the evaporator by the AC compressor. The AC compres‐ sor's compression work increases the heat content and the tem‐ perature of the refrigerant. It is now considerably higher than the ambient air temperature. The high-temperature refrigerant and its heat content flow to the condenser. There, because of the temperature difference between the refrigerant and the ambient air, the refrigerant re‐ leases heat into the ambient air via the condenser and liquefies. The refrigerant is also a heat conveyor. As it will be re-used, it is again pumped to the evaporator. For this reason, the basic principle of all air conditioning sys‐ tems is a circuit for refrigerants. Differences arise in the compo‐ sition of the aggregates. 1.6 Refrigerant R134a ⇒ d1.6.1 ata of the refrigerant R134a”, page 5 ⇒ n1.6.2 ames and designations of the refrigerant R134a”, page 6 ⇒ p1.6.3 oint”, page 6 ⇒ a1.6.4 spects of the refrigerant R134a”, page 6 1.6.1 Physical data of the refrigerant R134a The evaporation and condensation process is the procedure used for all air conditioning systems in vehicles. Thus it works with a lightly boiling substance, which is described as a refriger‐ ant. The refrigerant used is Tetrafluorethan R134a, which boils at -26.5°C under a pressure of 1 bar.

Chemical designation Tetrafluorethan Boiling point at 1 bar -26.5 °C Solidification point -101.6 °C Critical temperature 100.6 °C Critical pressure 39.56 bar (absolutely) 1.6.2 Trade names and designations of the refrigerant R134a The refrigerant R134a is currently available under the following trade names: ♦ H-FKW 134a ♦ SUVA 134a ♦ KLEA 134a Note ♦ In other countries, other trade names may also be common. ♦ Among the wide range of different refrigerants, only this re‐ frigerant should be used for automobiles. The designations “Frigen” or “Freon” are trade names. They also apply to refrigerants that are not intended to be used for automobiles. 1.6.3 Critical point The critical point (critical temperature and critical pressure) means that there is no divide over the same interface between the surface of the liquid and the gas. A substance is always gaseous when it is above its critical point. At temperatures below the critical point, all types of refrigerants in pressure tanks have a liquid and a gas phase, which means that a gas blanket is present above the liquid. As long as gas is still present in the tank aside from liquid, the pressure depends upon the ambient temperature ⇒ p1.7 re‐ ssure table for refrigerant R134a”, page 6 . 1.6.4 Environmental aspects of the refriger‐ ant R134a ♦ R134a is a fluorinated hydrocarbon (PFC) and contains no chlorine. ♦ R134a has a lower atmospheric lifetime than the refrigerant R12. ♦ R134a does not attack the ozone layer. ♦ The contribution of R134a to the greenhouse effect is by a factor of 10 less than the effect of the refrigerant R12. 1.7 Vapour pressure table for refrigerant R134a The vapour pressure table is decisive for each refrigerant used in the literature for refrigeration technicians. From this table can be read which vapour pressure above the liquid column in the vessel pushes when the temperature of the reservoir is known.
