THE HEATING AND AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEMS
Heating and air-conditioning systems do little for the operation of a vehicle; they merely provide comfort for the passengers of the vehicle. Both systems are dependent on the proper operation of the engine. The heating system basically adds heat to the vehicle’s interior, whereas air conditioning removes heat.
1. Heating Systems
To meet safety standards, all vehicles must be equipped with passenger compartment heating and windshield defrosting systems. The main components of an automotive heating system are the heater core, the heater control valve, the blower motor and the fan, and the heater and defroster ducts. The heating system works with the engine’s cooling system and converts the heat from the coolant circulating inside the engine to hot air, which is blown into the passenger compartment.
Figure 5.1 A typical heating system
A heater hose transfers hot coolant from the engine to the heater control valve and then to the heater core inlet. As the coolant circulates through the core, heat is transferred from the coolant to the tubes and fins of the core. Air blown through the core by the motor blower and the fan then picks up the heat from the surfaces of the core and transfers it into the passenger compartment. After giving up its heat, the coolant is then pumped out through the heater core outlet, where it is returned to the engine’s cooling system to be heated again.
Figure 5.2 A heater core
2. Air Conditioning
Air-conditioning basically supplies cool air into the passenger compartment. It also removes moisture from the air. An A/C system cools the air by moving heat from the confined space of the passenger compartment to the atmosphere.
Figure 5.3 A typical air-conditioning system
Air conditioning is becoming standard equipment, rather than an option, on most vehicles. It uses refrigerant to remove the heat from the air and a blower to send the cool air into the passenger compartment.
Until 1992, a refrigerant called CFC-12 was standard on most vehicles. When it was found to contribute to the depletion of the ozone player, CFC-12 was no longer used. It was replaced by R-134a. Production of CFC-12 ceased at the end of 1995. If your car was built before 1992, you may have trouble replacing the air conditioner’s refrigerant. Conversions to an alternative refrigerant (R-134a) are
expensive, so think about this fact before buying a pre-1992 used vehicle.
Task 1 Match the words and the correct definitions
A. a device that produces a current of air B. a device for controlling the flow of a liquid or gas, letting it move in one direction only C. something that you can choose to have or do; the freedom to choose what you do D. a system that cools and dries the air in a building or car E. a separate section in a car or plane for passengers’ seats F. a device for warming the air or water in an automotive engine G. an opening through which liquid, air or gas can enter a machine H. a pipe or hole through which liquid or gas can flow out |

THE FUEL SYSTEM -BASIC COMPONENTS
Fuel tank
The fuel tank is a metal or plastic composite container, usually located under the trunk compartment.
Figure 6.1 A typical fuel system
Inside the fuel tank is a little floatthat bobs up and down on the surface of the fuel, sending messages to the fuel gaugeon your dashboard so that you can tell when you have to buy more gasoline. Although some vehicles run on diesel oil or other alternative fuels, presently most are gasoline-powered, so I usually refer to fuel as gasoline.
Fuel lines and fuel pump
The fuel pump pumps the gasoline through the fuel lines, which run under your car from the fuel tank to the carburetoror fuel injectors. Older cars with carburetors use a mechanical fuel pump that’s driven by the engine. Engines with fuel injectionuse an electric fuel pump that may be located in or near the fuel tank.
Fuel filter
The fuel filter does exactly what its name implies - it filters the fuel. As the fuel passes along the fuel line on its way to the fuel injectors or carburetor, it passes through the fuel filter. A small screen inside the fuel filter traps the dirt and rust that would otherwise enter your fuel if you ride around most of the time with a nearly- empty tank. Some vehicles have additional fuel filters between the fuel tank and fuel pump. It’s important to change your fuel filters according to the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule.
Air cleaner and air filter
The air cleaner cleans the air before it’s mixed with fuel. In carbureted engines, the air cleaner is usually large and round with a snorkel sticking out of
