Record 2 2011-08-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Vacuum Tubes (Electronics)
CONT

Hot cathodes may be either directly heated, where the filament itself is the source of electrons, or indirectly heated, where the filament is electrically insulated from the cathode; this configuration minimizes the introduction of hum when the filament is energized with alternating current. The filament is most often made of tungsten. With indirectly heated cathodes, the filament is usually called the heater instead. The cathode for indirect heating is usually realized as a nickel tube which surrounds the heater.

OBS

indirectly heated cathode: term officially approved by the Electronics and Telecommunications Terminology Committee.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Tubes et lampes (Électronique)
OBS

cathode à chauffage indirect : terme uniformisé par le Comité d’uniformisation des termes de l’électronique et des télécommunications (CUTEL).

DEF

Any oven heating system in which the oven atmosphere is kept separate from the combustion gases, and in which the burners are contained in gas-tight radiators within the oven chamber.

OBS

There are 2 types: 1. Explosion resisting-constructed to withstand explosion pressure from ignition of a gas-air mixture in the radiators. 2. Nonexplosion resisting-with gas-tight radiators which are not designed to withstand an internal explosion.

Key term(s)
  • indirect fired internal heater

Record 5 2005-09-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Water Heaters and Softeners (Household)
CONT

A separate storage tank is required with an indirect water heater. Like the tankless coil, the indirect water heater circulates water through a heat exchanger in the boiler. But this heated water then flows to an insulated storage tank. Because the boiler does not need to operate frequently, this system is more efficient than the tank-less coil. In fact, when an indirect water heater is used with a highly efficient boiler, the combination may provide one of the least expensive methods of water heating.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chauffe-eau et adoucisseurs d'eau
OBS

Un chauffe-eau qui dérive sa chaleur d'un agent chauffant tel que l'air chaud, la vapeur ou l'eau chaude.
