Le principe de base du système à eau chaude est bien connu: l'eau contenue dans une chaudière ("fournaise") est d'abord chauffée par un appareil fonctionnant au mazout, au gaz, ou à l'électricité; circulant ensuite dans des canalisations, elle alimente des radiateurs ou des convecteurs, installés dans chacune des pièces de la maison. Au bout de sa course, l'eau revient à l'appareil pour être chauffée de nouveau avant d'entreprendre un autre cycle, et ainsi de suite. 7, record 5, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20de%20chauffage%20%C3%A0%20eau%20chaude

Air washers make use of water sprays or cooling coils for evaporative and sensible cooling of mine air. Their use has largely been limited to shallow coal mines in the United States where it is desirable to reduce the dry-bulb temperature of the intake air during the hot summer months to prevent slaking of the roof due to excessive expansion. An air washer is essentially a heat exchanger and is similar to the type of unit employed for heat transfer with refrigeration or evaporative cooling systems. 3, record 6, English, - air%20washer

The XB-25E was a standard production modified for anti-icing research. The carburetor air intake duct was faired internally into the top of the cowling and an anti-icing air intake was mounted at the bottom. Each row of cylinders exhausted through a separate exchanger, one ported outboard and one inboard of each nacelle. Ram air from the lower cowling duct was routed underneath the engine to a split duct, each side of which was directed to one of the heat exchangers. Air admitted to these heat exchangers was directed through a series of gates that allowed diversion of heated air either to the anti-icing system or out the exhaust. A complex system of ducting led the hot air to the outer wing leading edges and also into the fuselage and to the leading edges of the tail. It was intended that the temperature of the hot air would be sufficiently high that ice on the wing leading edges surfaces would be vaporized rather than melted, which would have prevented water from flowing aft and then freezing again on flaps and ailerons. 1, record 7, English, - anti%2Dicing%20air%20intake
