Figure 1-4

We have used arrows to

show you the direction of

refrigerant and engine

coolant flow in the system.

The key system components

are named. The air condi-

tioner evaporator coil and

condenser, and the heater

core, are the main points of

heat transfer.

Figure 1-4 displays the key components in the HVAC system. The arrows show

the direction of refrigerant flow in the system.
