Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

The purpose of air-conditioning control system.

Explanation of Solution

An air-conditioning system uses many electrical loads to maintain the desired temperature required by the occupants in a structure. The typical electrical loads involved in air-conditioning system are listed below:

  • Blower
  • Fan motor
  • Compressor
  • Furnace

In order to organize the operations of the above mentioned electrical loads, a control system is required. The control system must operate the respective component (electrical load) on a call for cooling and heating. The process of cooling involves compressor and fan motor. The process of heating involves furnace and blower.

Thus, the air-conditioning control system is intended to monitor the operation of an air-conditioning system.
