AC Electricity -
Alternating current also known as household power.
Air Compressor -
Pumps air to and builds air pressure in an air system.
Air Dryer -
Cools, filters and dries the air delivered by an air compressor.
Air Governor -
Controls the operation of the air compressor by constantly
monitoring air pressure in the supply tank of the air system. The air gov-
ernor initiates the unload cycle when the cut-out pressure is reached. The
air governor also controls the air dryer by sending an air signal (at the
beginning of the compressor unload cycle) to the control port of the air
dryer, initiating the purge cycle. When this air signal is removed by the
governor (at the beginning of the compressor load cycle) the purge valve
closes and the drying cycle begins.
Ampere (Amp) -
The unit of measure of electron flow rate of current through
a circuit.
Ampere-hour (Amp-hr. AH) -
A unit of measure for a battery electrical
storage capacity, obtained by multiplying the current in amperes by the
time in hours of discharge. (Example: A battery which delivers 5 amperes
for 20 hours, delivers 5 amperes times 20 hours, or 100 Amp-Hr. of
capacity.)
Black Water -
Term associated with the sewage holding tank. The toilet drains
directly into this tank.
Chassis Battery -
Powers chassis 12 Volt accessories and starts engine.
Circuit -
An electric circuit is the path of an electric current. A closed circuit
has a complete path. An open circuit has a broken or disconnected path.
City Water -
A term associated with the water supply that you hook-up to
when you are at campgrounds. It is called city water because you pull
water from a central source (like in a city) and not the fresh water tank.
Compressor Load Cycle -
The time during which the air compressor is building
air pressure in an air system.
Compressor Unload Cycle -
The time during which the air compressor is
idling and is not building air pressure in an air system.
Curbside -
This refers to the side of the motorhome which faces the curb when
it is parked. Often called the door side.
