  2. Wax thermostatic element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wax_thermostatic_element

    Once the optimum operating temperature is reached, the thermostat progressively increases or decreases its opening in response to temperature changes, dynamically balancing the coolant recirculation flow and coolant flow to the radiator to maintain the engine temperature in the optimum range as engine heat output, vehicle speed, and outside ...

  3. Heater core - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heater_core

    In a car equipped with air conditioning, outside air, or cabin air if the recirculation flap has been set to close the external air passages, is first forced, often after being filtered by a cabin air filter, through the air conditioner's evaporator coil. This can be thought of as a heater core filled with very cold liquid that is undergoing a ...

  4. Automotive air conditioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_air_conditioning

    Sustainable automotive air conditioning is the subject of a debate – also known as the Cool War – about the next-generation refrigerant in car air conditioning. An advocacy group, The Alliance for CO 2 Solutions , supports the uptake of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) as a refrigerant in passenger cars, and the chemical industry is developing new ...

  5. Hot water storage tank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_water_storage_tank

    The most typical, in the domestic context, is a fossil-fuel burner, electric immersion elements, or a district heating scheme. [2] Water heaters for washing, bathing, or laundry have thermostat controls to regulate the temperature, in the range of 40 to 60 °C (104 to 140 °F), and are connected to the domestic cold water supply.

  6. Electric heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_heating

    Small domestic immersion heater, 500 W. An immersion heater has an electrical resistance heating element encased in a tube, placed in the water (or other fluid) to be heated. The heating element might be inserted directly into the liquid, or installed inside a metal pipe to protect against corrosion and facilitate maintenance.

  7. Immersion cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immersion_cooling

    Single-phase immersion uses a circulation method for the dielectric liquid across hot electronic components and to a heat exchanging approach. A single-phase fluid does not boil or undergo a phase change at any time during the cooling process. Two-phase immersion leverages the heat-absorbing phase change from liquid to gas [3]. It uses ...

  8. Thermostat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermostat

    Four wires come to the centrally-located thermostat from the main heating/cooling unit (usually located in a closet, basement, or occasionally in the attic): One wire, usually red, supplies 24 volts AC power to the thermostat, while the other three supply control signals from the thermostat, usually white for heat, yellow for cooling, and green ...

  9. Weather Eye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_Eye

    The Nash "All-Weather Eye" was the first automobile air conditioning system for the mass market. [2] The use of the Weather Eye name for automobile passenger heating and air conditioning systems continued in American Motors Corporation (AMC) vehicles. The design principles of the Nash Weather Eye system are now in use by nearly every motor ...
