inlet1 from exceeding a selected- value. It'is-used'primarily to prevent overload on compressor motors.
valve, thermal :a valve controlled by a thermally responsive element; for example, a thermostatic expansion valve which-is -usually responsive to suction or evaporator temperature..
' valve, water regulator: an automatic valve to control the flow of cooling water through a condenser.1; :
valve seat: the stationary portion of the valve whicK when in contact with the movable portion, stops flow completely.
vane ratio: in air distributing'devices the ratio of depth' of -vane to shortest opening width between two adjacent grille bars.
vapor: a gas, particularly one near to equilibrium with the liquidjhase of toe substance' and which does not follow the gas laws. Usually used instead of gas for a refrigerant, and in genial for any gas below the critical temperature.
vapor, saturated:'vapor in equilibrium with its liquid;-that is, when the numbers, per unit'time, of; molecules passing in two directions through tne surface dividing the two phases, are equal.
. vapor, superheated:' vapor at a temperature'which' is hghr than the saturation temperature (Le., boiling point) at the existing pressure.
. vapor, water: used commonly, in "air conditioning, parlance to refer to steam in the atmosphere.
vapor, wet, quality of: fraction by.,weight .of vapor in mixture of.liquid and vapor.. .
vapor barrier: a moisture-impervious layer applied to the sur faces enclosing a humid space to prevent moisture travel to a point where it may condense due to lower temperature.
vapor lock: formation of some vapor or all vapor in a liquid
line reducing weight flow as compared to weight flow in liquid phase with the same pressure differential.
- vapor lock device: an orifice; capillary- tube, or other device having a restricted passage of fixed size for liquid refrigerant. It restricts flow of vapor of that same liquid to a lower rate of flow
On lb per min) with the same pressure difference. ..
velocity: a vector quantity which denotes at once the time rate iwl t>a direction of a line**- motion.. ;
- velocity.-outlet': the average discharge velocity of. primary air
being discharged from the outlet," normally measured in the plane
df the opening.
`
* ' velocity, room: the average sustained residual air velocity level in' the occupied tone of the conditioned space, e.g., 65, 50, 35 fpm.
velocity,' terminal: the highest'sustained air stream -velocity .existing in the mixed air path at the end of the throw..' ,
: ventilation: the process of supplying or removing sir; by natural or mechanical means,<to or from any space. Such air may or may not have been conditioned.- =
viscosity: - that property of semifluids, fluids/ and - gases by virtue of which'they resist an instantaneous change of shape or arrangement' of parts. It ts the cause of fluid -friction whenever adjacentlayers of fluid move with relation to each other.'
' viscosity, absolute: the force per unit area required to produce

unit relative velocity between two parallel areas of fluid unit
distance apart..
.-

viscosity, coefficient of:
as absolute viscosity. .
viscosity, kinematic: the ratio of absolute viscosity to density of a fluid.
volatile liquid:.one which evaporates, readily at atmospheric
pressure and room temperatures.
>
volume, specific: the volume of a substance per unit mass'; the
reciprocal of density.,
,
-. water, jacket: in a compressor,-the water.used for cooling-the cylinder bead and/or walls.-
watcr/mikeup: water supplied to replenish, as water replacing that lost by evaporation.
. water, raw: in ice making, any water.used for ice making except
distilled-water.',

'
.water cooler: evaporator for cooling water in.an indirect re frigerating system. -
- water-cooling tower: an enclosed device for evaporatively cod
ing' Water by contact with'air.-
'-
'water-cooling tower, atmospheric: one in which the:air move ment through the 'tower is -dependent only upon atmospheric conditions. Also known as natural draft cooling tower.
> .water-cooling tower/ forced draft: a.mechanical draft watercooling tower having one' or more fans located in the air entering the tower.
water-cooling tower, induced draft: a mechanical draft water
cooling tower having one or more
located in the air leaving
the tower. - - -
'
-
water-cooling tower, mechanical draft: one utilising one or more fans to move the air. through'the tower, the fans being an integral part of the tower.
' wax: a solid material which may separate oh cooling .of oil-
refrigerant mixtures.
-
' weep:drip from frozen foods. '
1
' wet-bulb depression: difference between dry-bulb and wet-
bulb temperatures.. ,
'
wire-drawing: restriction of area for a,flowing fluid, causing a loss in pressure by (internal and external) friction without loss of heator performance of work;1 throttling.
.work, effective:,net.mechanical energy required, by, or load imparted to,"piston of compressor.
. . .work, indicated: work.equivalent of indicator card area for a reciprocating compressor or engine"
wort: the unfermented infusion of malt which, when fermented, produces beer.
zone, comfort' (average):the range of effective temperatures over which the majority (50 percent or more) of adults feel com fortable. (extreme): the., range of effective temperatures over which one or more adults.feel oomfortable.
zone of. maximum crystal formation: temperature-range.in
freezing in which most of the freezing takes place.(about 25 to
30 F for water)..'
