  2. Condensate pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condensate_pump

    Small pumps have tanks that range from 2 to 4 liters (0.5 to 1 gallon) and are usually supported using the flanges on their tanks or simply placed upon the floor. A plastic impeller in a molded volute at the bottom of the pump provides the pumping action; this impeller is connected to the motor via a metal shaft that extends downwards from the ...

  3. Damp (structural) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damp_(structural)

    Condensation comes from water vapour within the building. Common sources may include cooking, bathing, dishwashers, etc. The moisture in the air condenses on cold surfaces, sometimes inside the walls called interstitial condensation. Buildings with poorly insulated walls are very prone to this problem.

  4. 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 ...

    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 ...

  6. Underfloor air distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underfloor_air_distribution

    UFAD systems use an underfloor supply plenum located between the structural concrete slab and a raised floor system to supply conditioned air to supply outlets (usually floor diffusers), located at or near floor level within the occupied space. Air returns from the room at ceiling level or the maximum allowable height above the occupied zone.

  7. Vapor barrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor_barrier

    A slab-on-grade or basement floor should be poured over a cross-laminated polyethylene vapor barrier over 4 inches (10 cm) of granular fill to prevent wicking of moisture from the ground and radon gas incursion. Inside a steel building, water vapor will condense whenever it comes into contact with a surface that is below the dew point temperature.

  8. Heat pipe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_pipe

    A laptop computer heat pipe system. A heat pipe is a heat-transfer device that employs phase transition to transfer heat between two solid interfaces. [1]At the hot interface of a heat pipe, a volatile liquid in contact with a thermally conductive solid surface turns into a vapor by absorbing heat from that surface.

  9. Refrigeration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refrigeration

    The Fridge Gate method is a theoretical application of using a single logic gate to drive a refrigerator in the most energy efficient way possible without violating the laws of thermodynamics. It operates on the fact that there are two energy states in which a particle can exist: the ground state and the excited state.
