2. Thermosiphon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermosiphon

   Heat can still be transferred in this system by the evaporation and condensation of vapor; however, the system is properly classified as a heat pipe thermosyphon. [1] [2] If the system also contains other fluids, such as air, then the heat flux density will be less than in a real heat pipe, which contains only a single substance.

3. Ground source heat pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_source_heat_pump

   [26] [27] To qualify for an Energy Star label, heat pumps must meet certain minimum COP and EER ratings which depend on the ground heat exchanger type. For closed-loop systems, the ISO 13256-1 heating COP must be 3.3 or greater and the cooling EER must be 14.1 or greater. [28]

4. Thermodynamic cycle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_cycle

   During a closed cycle, the system returns to its original thermodynamic state of temperature and pressure. Process quantities (or path quantities), such as heat and work are process dependent. For a cycle for which the system returns to its initial state the first law of thermodynamics applies: = =

5. Hydronics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydronics

   These systems depend on the proper operation of thermostatic air-venting valves located on radiators throughout the heated area. When the system is not in use, these valves are open to the atmosphere, and radiators and pipes contain air. When a heating cycle begins, the boiler produces steam, which expands and displaces the air in the system.

6. Ground-coupled heat exchanger - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground-coupled_heat_exchanger

   Combination system: This can be constructed with dampers that allow either closed or open operation, depending on fresh air ventilation requirements. Such a design, even in closed loop mode, could draw a quantity of fresh air when an air pressure drop is created by a solar chimney, clothes dryer, fireplace, kitchen or bathroom exhaust vents. It ...

7. Thermal power station - Wikipedia

   Thus leaks of non-condensible air into the closed loop must be prevented. Typically the cooling water causes the steam to condense at a temperature of about 25 °C (77 °F) and that creates an absolute pressure in the condenser of about 2–7 kPa (0.59–2.07 inHg), i.e. a vacuum of about −95 kPa (−28 inHg) relative to atmospheric pressure ...
