Company Profile:
An air heater in which air is blown over electric resistance heating coils.
Industry:Energy
An air infiltration measurement technique developed by the Brookhaven National Laboratory to measure changes over time (one week to five months) when determining a building's air infiltration rate. This test cannot locate exact points of infiltration, but it does reveal long-term infiltration problems.
Industry:Energy
An air pollution control device that removes organic contaminants by oxidizing them into carbon dioxide and water through a chemical reaction using a catalysis, which is a substance that increases (or decreases) the rate of a chemical reaction without being changed itself; required in all automobiles sold in the United State, and used in some types of heating appliances.
Industry:Energy
An air pollution control device used to filter particulates from waste combustion gases; a chamber containing a bag filter.
Industry:Energy
An alternative path. In a heating duct or pipe, an alternative path for the flow of the heat transfer fluid from one point to another, as determined by the opening or closing of control valves both in the primary line and the bypass line.
Industry:Energy
An aluminum foil fabricated insulator with backings applied to provide a series of closed air spaces with highly reflective surfaces.
Industry:Energy
An amount paid by a customer for being connected to an electricity supplier's transmission and distribution system.
Industry:Energy
An amount to be paid for energy periodically by a customer without regard to demand or energy consumption.
Industry:Energy
An apparatus for converting the energy available in the wind to mechanical energy that can be used to power machinery (grain mills, water pumps) and to operate an electrical generator.
Industry:Energy
An apparatus for measuring force or power, especially the power developed by a motor.
