Evaporator - A device with tubes and fins to remove heat from the passenger compartment using the same principle that cools your skin when air evaporates the water after you are wet.

Condenser - A device much like an evaporator where the outside air picks up the heat from the refrigerant, causing it to condense back into a liquid.

Compressor - A component that compresses the evaporated refrigerant to rise its boiling point so it can condense in the condenser at outside air temperatures.

Orifice tube - A restriction in the refrigerant hose causing a pressure drop which lowers the boiling point so the refrigerant can evaporate in the evaporator.

Refrigerant - R-12 (common trade name: Freon) and R-134a are chemicals that have ideal properties to evaporate and condense in an automotive air conditioning system. R-12 is known to be an ozone depleting substance, so it has been replaced in newer cars with R-134a, which does not deplete ozone. Most vehicles can be retrofitted to use R-134a.
