Record 2 2016-05-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • HVAC Distribution Systems
  • Heating
DEF

An electrical resistance or fuel appliance intended essentially to heat space or water.

CONT

The movement of air through a heating unit requires a static pressure differential. To produce this draft, the pressure of the air surrounding the heating unit and vent system must be greater than the pressure exerted by the gases within the unit and vent system.

OBS

Includes a hot air heating system, a stove, a radiator, a grill, a heat exchanger, a unit heater or a water heater.

Record 3 2014-01-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Antifreeze Products
  • Chemistry
CONT

Antifreeze systems use special fluid to transfer heat from the collector to a heat exchanger in the storage unit. These systems are fully freeze-protected, prevent contamination of the hot water, and can operate in all climate conditions.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Antigels (Pétrole)
  • Chimie
CONT

Les installations à antigel renferment un liquide spécial qui transfère la chaleur des capteurs à l'échangeur thermique situé dans le réservoir de stockage. Ces installations sont entièrement protégées contre le gel, elles ne contaminent pas l'eau chaude et elles fonctionnent dans toutes les conditions climatiques.

Record 4 2013-11-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Heat Exchangers
  • Wastewater Treatment
CONT

Grey water heat exchanger : this device transfers heat in your waste pipes, through a heat exchanger, to pre-heat or temper cold water before it enters your hot water heater.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Échangeurs de chaleur
  • Traitement des eaux usées
CONT

Imaginez la quantité d’énergie, emmagasinée sous forme de chaleur, qui est rejetée dans les égouts lorsqu’un membre de votre famille prend une douche. Le récupérateur de chaleur des eaux grises permet de recycler une partie de cette énergie de façon simple afin de profiter de l’eau chaude plus longtemps et de réduire votre facture énergétique.

Record 5 2011-10-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Heating
DEF

A heating system for a building in which the heat-conveying medium is hot water, and the heat-emitting means are radiators, convectors, or panel coils.

CONT

Hydronic heating maintains comfort in the home by circulating hot water to the secondary heat exchanger. This system basically consists of a boiler, a pump, a secondary heat exchanger, and a series of piping.

OBS

Low-temperature water heating system. Some authors use indifferently "hot water system" or "low-temperature water heating system" to designate a heating system having hot water at a temperature lower than 250 °F.

OBS

hot(-)water heating; hydronic heating. Some authors often use the term "heating" to designate a "heating system". The term "System" is then omitted.

OBS

Technically, a "hydronic system" may be either a "hot water system" or a "steam system", as confirmed in the source AMERI. However, many sources define a "hydronic system" as a "hot water system".

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chauffage
CONT

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.

Record 6 2011-03-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Industrial Tools and Equipment
  • Air Conditioning and Heating
  • Mine Ventilation, Heating and Lighting
DEF

A washer spray system or device for cleaning, humidifying, or dehumidifying the air.

CONT

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.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Outillage industriel
  • Conditionnement de l'air et chauffage
  • Ventilation, chauffage et éclairage des mines
CONT

Un laveur d'air se présente sous forme d'une chambre ou d'un caisson comportant un système de pulvérisation d'eau formant un rideau de fines gouttelettes au travers duquel passe l'air à traiter. Le rôle d'un «laveur» d'air ne consiste pas uniquement dans le dépoussiérage (lavage) de l'air, mais, suivant la température de l'eau pulvérisée et la température du point de rosée de l'air entrant dans le laveur, soit dans une humidification, soit dans une déshumidification de l'air.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Herramientas y equipo industriales
  • Acondicionamiento de aire y calefacción
  • Ventilación, calefacción y alumbrado de minas
DEF

Aparato utilizado para el lavado de gases en el que los componentes indeseables de una corriente gaseosa son separados por contacto con la superficie de un líquido, bien sea sobre una masa húmeda, a través de un rociador, a través de un barboteador, etc.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aeroindustry
CONT

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.

DEF

[A] solar ... pond which uses a transparent polymer that floats on top of salt water and acts as a thermal insulator.

OBS

Heat trapped beneath the polymer layer is then harnessed by circulating the hot water through an external heat exchanger.

  • Transformation de l'énergie
  • Énergie solaire
DEF

Étang solaire recouvert d'une pellicule transparente de polymère qui sert d'isolant thermique.

OBS

CONT

The wort cooler is a large heat exchanger, similar to a radiator. Cold water flows through alternating plates, while the hot wort flows through the opposite side reducing the temperature to 13. 5 degrees from near boil. The water, now heated is reused in the brewing process.
