  2. Condenser (heat transfer) - Wikipedia

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

    A condenser unit used in central air conditioning systems typically has a heat exchanger section to cool down and condense incoming refrigerant vapor into liquid, a compressor to raise the pressure of the refrigerant and move it along, and a fan for blowing outside air through the heat exchanger section to cool the refrigerant inside. A typical ...

  3. Motor capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_capacitor

    A motor capacitor [1] [2] is an electrical capacitor that alters the current to one or more windings of a single-phase alternating-current induction motor to create a rotating magnetic field. [ citation needed ] There are two common types of motor capacitors, start capacitor and run capacitor (including a dual run capacitor ).

  4. Electric motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_motor

    An industrial electric motor . An electric motor is a machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and electric current in a wire winding to generate force in the form of torque applied on the motor's shaft.

  5. Synchronous condenser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronous_condenser

    A synchronous condenser provides stepless automatic power-factor correction with the ability to produce up to 150% additional vars. The system produces no switching transients and is not affected by system electrical harmonics (some harmonics can even be absorbed by synchronous condensers).

  6. Surface condenser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_condenser

    A surface condenser is a water-cooled shell and tube heat exchanger installed to condense exhaust steam from a steam turbine in thermal power stations. [1] [2] [3] These condensers are heat exchangers which convert steam from its gaseous to its liquid state at a pressure below atmospheric pressure. Where cooling water is in short supply, an air ...

  7. Crossword abbreviations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossword_abbreviations

    The abbreviation is not always a short form of the word used in the clue. For example: "Knight" for N (the symbol used in chess notation) Taking this one stage further, the clue word can hint at the word or words to be abbreviated rather than giving the word itself. For example: "About" for C or CA (for "circa"), or RE.

  8. Crossword - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossword

    For example, the clue "A few, we hear, add up (3)" is the clue for SUM. The straight definition is "add up", meaning "totalize". The solver must guess that "we hear" indicates a homophone, and so a homophone of a synonym of "A few" ("some") is the answer. Other words relating to sound or hearing can be used to signal the presence of a homophone ...

  9. Run-around coil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run-around_coil

    For example, a 20% glycol mixture will provide protection down to −10 °C (14 °F), but will increase system resistance by 15%. For the finned tube coil design, there is a performance maximum corresponding to an eight- or ten-row coil, above this the fan and pump motor energy consumption increases substantially and seasonal efficiency starts ...
