5. Compressor
Cool low-pressure gas into hot high-pressure gas
Gas moves through the condenser outside the building
Gas cools down into a liquid
Liquid flows through the expansion valve
It evaporates into a cool low-pressure gas
As liquid changes to gas, it absorbs heat from the inside of the building.
Fan blows air across metal fins (which have chilled as a result of heat being absorbed)
The room cools down Back to

heated water
from the cylinder Boiler used to
to flow round the heat the water
system to the

Water from the

14. NOTE: the end effector can have any of the
mentioned attachments BUT if the
end effector is changed you also need
to change the programming.
For example: you can’t have the robot that
was spray painting then to be used as
a screwdriver head without changing
the programming. Back to
