Sentences with phrase «for space heating applications»

The mixing valve shown in Figure 5.8 and Figure 5.9 is required for when the solar pre-heated water is too hot for delivery to the domestic taps, and when the storage tank temperature needs to be high for space heating applications.

Not exact matches

These efforts range from basic research about how polymers and other materials will react during the heating and deposition process to more industrial applications, such as developing a lower - cost, high - temperature process for working with thermoplastics used to make air and space vehicle components.

The authors say that as energy storage density improves — and with their work it is now approaching the capacity of lithium batteries — applications for the new technology include such possibilities as solar pads that collect energy from the sun by day, then store it for heating food, living spaces, clothing or blankets at night.

There's also a number of interesting applications in the evolution of Earth's atmosphere that branch off from the runaway greenhouse physics, for example how fast a magma - ocean covered early Earth ends up cooling — you can't lose heat to space of more than about 310 W / m2 or so for an Earth - sized planet with an efficient water vapor feedback, so it takes much longer for an atmosphere - cloaked Earth to cool off from impact events than a body just radiating at sigmaT ^ 4.

[7] Power plant efficiency can also be greatly improved by using «combined heat and power» systems that use waste heat from the combustion process for space heating or industrial applications, [8] or by using a «combined cycle» that uses the waste heat to power a steam turbine and make more electricity.

The system of Figure 5.9 also has the advantage of being easily adapted to combination space and domestic hot water heating applications as shown in Figure 5.2 In that configuration, the storage tank needs to have 2 additional side ports available for the pumped loop to the hot water coil in the space heating process air stream.

Blockages caused by deciduous trees may be acceptable for solar applications like space heating, in that the trees will let most of the light through when the leaves are gone in the winter.
