  2. Condensing boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condensing_boiler

    Condensing boilers are water heaters typically used for heating systems that are fueled by gas or oil. When operated in the correct circumstances, a heating system can achieve high efficiency (greater than 90% on the higher heating value) by condensing water vapour found in the exhaust gases in a heat exchanger to preheat the circulating water.

  3. Condensate pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condensate_pump

    Condensate water is distilled water, but may also contain contaminants. If it is being condensed from an air stream, it may have entrained dust , microbes , or other contaminants in it. If it is condensed from steam, it may have traces of the various boiler water treatment chemicals.

  4. Condensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condensation

    Condensation on a window during a rain shower. Condensation in building construction is an unwanted phenomenon as it may cause dampness, mold health issues, wood rot, corrosion, weakening of mortar and masonry walls, and energy penalties due to increased heat transfer. To alleviate these issues, the indoor air humidity needs to be lowered, or ...

  5. Central heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_heating

    A district heating system uses centrally located boilers or water heaters and circulates heat energy to individual customers by circulating hot water or steam. This has the advantage of a central highly efficient energy converter that can use the best available pollution controls, and that is professionally operated.

  6. Condenser (heat transfer) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condenser_(heat_transfer)

    A condenser is designed to transfer heat from a working fluid (e.g. water in a steam power plant) to a secondary fluid or the surrounding air. The condenser relies on the efficient heat transfer that occurs during phase changes, in this case during the condensation of a vapor into a liquid. The vapor typically enters the condenser at a ...

  7. Interstitial condensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstitial_condensation

    Interstitial condensation is a type of condensation that may occur within an enclosed wall, roof or floor cavity structure, which can create dampening. When moisture-laden air at dew point temperature penetrates inside a cavity of the structure, it condenses into liquid water on that surface. The moisture laden air can penetrate into hidden ...

  8. Lifting condensation level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifting_condensation_level

    The convective condensation level (CCL) results when strong surface heating causes buoyant lifting of surface air and subsequent mixing of the planetary boundary layer, so that the layer near the surface ends up with a dry adiabatic lapse rate. As the mixing becomes deeper, it will get to the point where the LCL of an air parcel starting at the ...

  9. Water heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_heating

    In Cyprus and Israel 90 percent of homes have solar water heating systems. [4] The most basic solar thermal models are the direct-gain type, in which the potable water is directly sent into the collector. Many such systems are said to use integrated collector storage (ICS), as direct-gain systems typically have storage integrated within the ...
