  3. Heat trap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_trap

    The convective (micro)circulation is stopped by the loop which does not allow warm water to pass further into the pipe. 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 natural convection and heated water ...

    In traditional plumbing in the UK, the space-heating boiler is set up to heat a separate hot water cylinder or water heater for potable hot water. Such water heaters are often fitted with an auxiliary electrical immersion heater for use if the boiler is out of action for a time. Heat from the space-heating boiler is transferred to the water ...

    When installed and maintained properly, the air gap works as described above, and prevents drain water from the sink from backing up into the dishwasher, possibly contaminating dishes. To further illustrate the air gap, consider what could happen if the air gap were eliminated by attaching a hose to the faucet and lowering the hose into a sink ...

  8. Fusible plug - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusible_plug

    As the water will have a maximum temperature of 410 °F (210 °C), [8] lower than tin's melting point of 410 °F, this water jet may act to freeze the plug. While water continues to escape from the plug, the plug may fail to melt completely and so only a minor jet of steam is noticed, which may be overlooked.

    There are three main categories for water temperature controlling devices: Heat Source, Group Control, and Point-of-Use. Heat Source. These are used with central heating systems that use water as a medium. Tempering valves for use on hot water heat distribution systems; High flow rates suitable for use in under floor (radiant) heating applications
