  2. Countercurrent exchange - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countercurrent_exchange

    It is a kind of exchange using counter flow arrangement. The maximum amount of heat or mass transfer that can be obtained is higher with countercurrent than co-current (parallel) exchange because countercurrent maintains a slowly declining difference or gradient (usually temperature or concentration difference). In cocurrent exchange the ...

  3. Heat exchanger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_exchanger

    Tubular heat exchanger Partial view into inlet plenum of shell and tube heat exchanger of a refrigerant based chiller for providing air-conditioning to a building. A heat exchanger is a system used to transfer heat between a source and a working fluid. Heat exchangers are used in both cooling and heating processes. [1]

  4. Voltage converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_converter

    Most single phase alternating-current electrical outlets in the world supply power at 210–240 V or at 100–120 V. A transformer or autotransformer can be used; (auto)transformers are inherently reversible, so the same transformer can be used to step the voltage up, or step it down by the same ratio. Lighter and smaller devices can be made ...

  5. Transformer types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformer_types

    Resonant transformers are also used in electronic ballasts for gas discharge lamps, and high voltage power supplies. They are also used in some types of switching power supplies. [6] Here the short-circuit inductance value is an important parameter that determines the resonance frequency of the resonant transformer. Often only secondary winding ...

  6. Absorption heat transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_heat_transformer

    The temperature lift from the intermediate to the high temperature level is up to 50K. The simplest construction, a single effect absorption heat transformer, consists of one condenser, one evaporator, one absorber and one generator. In contrast to a type I absorption heat pump an absorption heat transformer operates in reverse. The difference ...

  7. Electric power distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_distribution

    Most modern North American homes are wired to receive 240 volts from the transformer, and through the use of split-phase electrical power, can have both 120 volt receptacles and 240 volt receptacles. The 120 volts is typically used for lighting and most wall outlets. The 240 volt circuits are typically used for appliances requiring high watt ...

  8. Recuperator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recuperator

    In many types of processes, combustion is used to generate heat, and the recuperator serves to recuperate, or reclaim this heat, in order to reuse or recycle it. The term recuperator refers as well to liquid-liquid counterflow heat exchangers used for heat recovery in the chemical and refinery industries and in closed processes such as ammonia-water or LiBr-water absorption refrigeration cycle.

  9. Concentric tube heat exchanger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentric_tube_heat_exchanger

    Concentric Tube (or Pipe) Heat Exchangers are used in a variety of industries for purposes such as material processing, food preparation, and air-conditioning. [1] They create a temperature driving force by passing fluid streams of different temperatures parallel to each other, separated by a physical boundary in the form of a pipe.
