2. Radiant barrier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiant_barrier

   Furring strips are applied to the sheathing to create a vented air space between the radiant barrier and the siding, and vents are used at the top and bottom to allow convective heat to rise naturally to the attic. If brick is being used on the exterior, then a vented air space may already be present, and furring strips are not necessary.

3. Bimetallic strip - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bimetallic_strip

   Heat engines are not the most efficient ones, and with the use of bimetallic strips the efficiency of the heat engine is even lower as there is no chamber to contain the heat. Moreover, the bimetallic strips cannot produce strength in its moves, the reason why is that in order to achieve reasonables bendings (movements) both metallic strips ...

4. Thermal cutoff - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_cutoff

   Thermal fuses are usually found in heat-producing electrical appliances such as coffeemakers and hair dryers. They function as safety devices to disconnect the current to the heating element in case of a malfunction (such as a defective thermostat) that would otherwise allow the temperature to rise to dangerous levels, possibly starting a fire.

5. Heating element - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating_element

   Resistance ribbon heating elements are made by flattening round resistance wire, giving them a rectangular cross-section with rounded corners. [8]: 54 Generally ribbon widths are between 0.3 and 4 mm. If a ribbon is wider than that, it is cut out from a broader strip and may instead be called resistance strip. Compared to wire, ribbon can be ...

6. Thermostat - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermostat

   Four wires come to the centrally-located thermostat from the main heating/cooling unit (usually located in a closet, basement, or occasionally in the attic): One wire, usually red, supplies 24 volts AC power to the thermostat, while the other three supply control signals from the thermostat, usually white for heat, yellow for cooling, and green ...

7. Austempering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austempering

   Austempering is defined by both the process and the resultant microstructure. Typical austempering process parameters applied to an unsuitable material will not result in the formation of bainite or ausferrite and thus the final product will not be called austempered. Both microstructures may also be produced via other methods.
