  2. Circulator pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circulator_pump

    The traditional hot water recirculation system uses the existing cold water line as return line from the point of use located farthest from the hot water tank back to the hot water tank. The first of two system types has a pump mounted at the hot water heater while a "normally open" thermostatic control valve gets installed at the farthest ...

  3. Boiler feedwater pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_feedwater_pump

    Feedwater pumps range in size up to many kilowatts and the electric motor is usually separated from the pump body by some form of mechanical coupling. Large industrial condensate pumps may also serve as the feedwater pump. In either case, to force the water into the boiler, the pump must generate sufficient pressure to overcome the steam ...

  4. Thermal immersion circulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_immersion_circulator

    A thermal immersion circulator comprises a circulator pump or motorized impeller to move the fluid, a heating element immersed in the fluid, an accurate temperature probe, and control circuitry which compares the measured temperature with the desired value and supplies power to the heater as required to stabilize the temperature.

  5. Population equivalent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_equivalent

    For example, a commonly used definition used in Europe is: 1 PE equates to 60 gram of BOD per person per day, and it also equals 200 liters of sewage per day. [3] [4] [5] In the United States, a figure of 80 grams BOD per day is normally used. [6]: 171 If the base value is taken as 60 grams of BOD per person per day, then the equation to ...

  6. Hydronic balancing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydronic_balancing

    Hydronic balancing, also called hydraulic balancing, is the process of optimizing the distribution of water in a building's hydronic heating or cooling system by equalizing the system pressure. In a balanced system every radiator is set to receive the proper amount of fluid in order to provide the intended indoor climate at optimum energy ...

  7. Forced circulation boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced_circulation_boiler

    A forced circulation boiler is a boiler where a pump is used to circulate water inside the boiler. This differs from a natural circulation boiler which relies on current density to circulate water inside the boiler. In some forced circulation boilers, the water is circulated at twenty times the rate of evaporation. [1]

  8. Volumetric flow rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volumetric_flow_rate

    Volumetric flow rate should not be confused with volumetric flux, as defined by Darcy's law and represented by the symbol q, with units of m 3 /(m 2 ·s), that is, m·s −1. The integration of a flux over an area gives the volumetric flow rate. The SI unit is cubic metres per second (m 3 /s). Another unit used is standard cubic centimetres per ...

  9. Circulating water plant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circulating_Water_Plant

    A circulating water plant or circulating water system is an arrangement of flow of water in fossil-fuel power station, chemical plants and in oil refineries. The system is required because various industrial process plants uses heat exchanger , and also for active fire protection measures.
