2. Hydronics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydronics

   In the oldest modern hydronic heating technology, a single-pipe steam system delivers steam to the radiators where the steam gives up its heat and is condensed back to water. The radiators and steam supply pipes are pitched so that gravity eventually takes this condensate back down through the steam supply piping to the boiler where it can once ...

3. Aquastat - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquastat

   An aquastat is a device used in hydronic heating systems for controlling water temperature. [1] [2] To prevent the boiler from firing too frequently, aquastats have a high limit temperature and a low limit.

4. Central heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_heating

   Circulating hot water can be used for central heating. Sometimes these systems are called hydronic heating systems. [22] Common components of a central heating system using water-circulation include: A supply of fuel, electric power or district heating supply lines; A boiler (or a heat exchanger for district heating) which heats water in the system

5. Thermosiphon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermosiphon

   Heat can still be transferred in this system by the evaporation and condensation of vapor; however, the system is properly classified as a heat pipe thermosyphon. [1] [2] If the system also contains other fluids, such as air, then the heat flux density will be less than in a real heat pipe, which contains only a single substance.

6. Underfloor heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underfloor_heating

   Other applications for which either electric or hydronic systems are suited include snow/ice melting for walks, driveways and landing pads, turf conditioning of football and soccer fields and frost prevention in freezers and skating rinks. A range of underfloor heating systems and designs are available to suit different types of flooring. [22]

7. Water-tube boiler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water-tube_boiler

   Schematic diagram of a marine-type watertube boiler. A high pressure watertube boiler [1] (also spelled water-tube and water tube) is a type of boiler in which water circulates in tubes heated externally by fire. Fuel is burned inside the furnace, creating hot gas which boils water in the steam-generating tubes.
