Closed loop systems are slightly less efficient than open loop systems as there is some heat loss through the heat exchanger. Their advantage is that they can use a freeze-resistant fluid [and] are more suitable for frost-prone areas. 1, record 1, English, - closed%20loop%20system

In its most common form, a solar water heater uses a flat-plate collector with tubes fastened to the blackened flat plate. Water flows from a storage tank, passes through the tubes where it is heated, and returns to the tank. Hot water accumulates in the upper part of the tank, which is insulated to reduce heat losses. 2, record 5, English, - solar%20water%20heater

Hot water for domestic purposes can be provided at low cost by the thermosyphon solar heater. The heat collector is a flat plate of blackened metal(steel, aluminum, or copper), to which tubes are attached in any manner which provides good thermal contact. The tubes are connected to headers at the top and bottom of the collector plate, which is insulated to minimize loss of heat from the rear surface. The collector is glazed with a glass or plastic cover to trap the Sun's heat and to reduce heat loss to the atmosphere. 1, record 6, English, - thermosyphon%20solar%20heater

Chaudières à gaz. L'expression "chauffage central au gaz" fait parfois naître une confusion. Il est bien entendu que le fluide chauffant est toujours l'eau, ou la vapeur, ou l'air chaud. La seule différence avec le chauffage central au charbon est que la chaudière est alimentée au gaz, un brûleur remplaçant la grille. Ce brûleur est généralement à flamme blanche. Quand le gaz a un pouvoir calorifique élevé on utilise un brûleur à flamme bleue (...) A l'intérieur de la chaudière est disposé, au-dessus du brûleur, un faisceau de tubes où circule l'eau à chauffer. 4, record 9, French, - chaudi%C3%A8re%20%C3%A0%20gaz

Fournaise: Ce terme est considéré comme impropre par les puristes. Selon Dagenais dans son, Dictionnaire des difficultés de la langue française au Canada", "fournaise" serait un calque de l'anglais "furnace" et nous devrions plutôt dire "chaudière" lorsque le fluide caloporteur est l'eau ou la vapeur et "générateur d'air chaud", lorsque le fluide, est l'air. Cependant, ce terme reste d'usage fréquent au Québec, autant en langue parlée qu'en langue écrite. 5, record 9, French, - chaudi%C3%A8re%20%C3%A0%20gaz
