Company Profile:
A heat exchanger that transfers heat contained in a liquid heat transfer fluid to another liquid.
Industry:Energy
A heat exchanger in which heat is recovered from the products of combustion.
Industry:Energy
A heat exchanger in which two fluids flow in opposite directions for transfer heat energy from one to the other.
Industry:Energy
A heat exchanger for recovering heat from flue gases for heating water or air.
Industry:Energy
A heat exchanger in a solar water heating system that has two distinct walls between the heat transfer fluid and the domestic water, to ensure that there is no mixing of the two.
Industry:Energy
A heat exchanger element enclosed in a boiler. Water is circulated with a pump through the jacket where it picks up heat from the combustion chamber after which the heated water circulates to heat distribution devices. A water jacket is also an enclosed water-filled chamber in a tankless coiled water heater. When a faucet is turned on water flows into the water heater heat exchanger. The water in the chamber is heated and transfers heat to the cooler water in the heat exchanger and is sent through the hot water outlet to the appropriate faucet.
Industry:Energy
A heat exchanger coil in which a fluid such as water is circulated and a fan blows air over the coil to distribute heat or cool air to the different rooms.
Industry:Energy
A heat engine of the reciprocating (piston) where the working gas and a heat source are independent. The working gas is compressed in one region of the engine and transferred to another region where it is expanded. The expanded gas is then returned to the first region for recompression. The working gas thus moves back and forth in a closed cycle.
Industry:Energy
A heat absorbing reaction or a reaction that requires heat.
Industry:Energy
A hard, dense type of coal, that is hard to break, clean to handle, difficult to ignite, and that burns with an intense flame and with the virtual absence of smoke because it contains a high percentage of fixed carbon and a low percentage of volatile matter.
