Kumis (/ ˈkuːmɪs / KOO-mis, rarely / ˈkʌmɪs / KUM-is), alternatively spelled coumis or kumyz, [a] also known as airag (/ ˈaɪræɡ / EYE-rag), [b] is a fermented dairy product traditionally made from mare milk or donkey milk. The drink is important to the peoples of the Central and East Asian steppes, of Turkic and Mongolic origin ...
Heat traps are valves or loops of pipe on the cold water inlet and hot water outlet of water heaters. The heat traps allow cold water to flow into the water heater tank, but prevent unwanted convection and heated water to flow out of the tank. [1][2] Newer water heaters have built-in heat traps.
A water heater that maintains desired temperature by turning the applied power on and off (as opposed to continuously varying electrical voltage or current) based on temperature feedback is an example application of bang–bang control. Although the applied power switches from one discrete state to another, the water temperature will remain ...
A thermostat exerts control by switching heating or cooling devices on or off, or by regulating the flow of a heat transfer fluid as needed, to maintain the correct temperature. A thermostat can often be the main control unit for a heating or cooling system, in applications ranging from ambient air control to automotive coolant control.
Neutralization (chemistry) Animation of a strong acid–strong base neutralization titration (using phenolphthalein). The equivalence point is marked in red. In chemistry, neutralization or neutralisation (see spelling differences) is a chemical reaction in which acid and a base react with an equivalent quantity of each other.

A catalytic heater is a flameless heater which relies on catalyzed chemical reactions to break down molecules and produce calefaction (heat). [1] When the catalyst, fuel (e.g., natural gas), and oxygen combine together, they react at a low enough temperature that a flame is not produced. This process keeps repeating itself until either oxygen ...
Mengeneinstellung = Volume control. A thermostatic mixing valve (TMV) is a valve that blends hot water with cold water to ensure constant, safe shower and bath outlet temperatures to prevent scalding. The storage of water at high temperature removes one possible breeding ground for Legionella; the use of a thermostat, rather than a static ...
