How can central heating controls save money?
Central controls allow water and space heating to be controlled independently. Areas of the home may also be broken down into zones to provide heat only where you want it. By heating only the parts of your home where you need heat allows you to save on your heating bill.
Why was plumbing invented?
Plumbing is the system of pipes, valves, fittings, drains and fixtures installed for the distribution of heating and washing, potable water for drinking and wastewater removal. The Romans are accredited with the first ideas of plumbing. They are used plumbing system in their bath houses where hot water came down channels into the bath houses then into a large container which fed clay piping. This passed over fires which raised the temperature and the water then ran into the bath - colder water at the bottom of the bath drained out slowly and went around.

What is the difference between a condensing central heating boiler and a combination boiler?
A combination boiler can use one of two different fuels to heat the water. Common combinations include natural gas/propane and oil, or wood and oil combinations. A condensing boiler uses a secondary heat exchanger to condense water vapour (steam) in the products of combustion down to water. Here's what that means: When any hydrocarbon (gas, propane, oil, even wood) burns, it gives off at least two "products of combustion. The carbon combines with oxygen to create CO2, carbon dioxide. The hydrogen combines with oxygen to create water vapour, or steam. (If combustion is "incomplete," there will be other trace products as well.) It's the water vapour or steam we're concerned with here. To boil 1 pound of water requires 960 BTUs of heat. Conversely, if you condense steam down into 1 pound of water, you will recover 960 BTUs. The fuel is burned in the "primary heat exchanger," where of course it releases a tremendous amount of heat into the water we're warming up. Then the "products of combustion" are drawn by a fan into the "secondary heat exchanger." When the water vapour or steam component of the products of combustion hits the relatively cool walls of this second heat exchanger, they condense down into liquid water. As they do, they release heat into the boiler water through the walls of the secondary exchanger. The liquid water then goes down a drain. Obviously, the boiler water has to be cooler than the steam component of the products of combustion in order for the heat to travel into it. So we make sure that this water is what's coming back to the boiler from the heating system. Again, for this method to work well, it's best applied in a "radiant in-floor" type heating system, where we don't heat the boiler water up to as high a temperature in the first place. --The HVAC Veteran
How come water from AC?
Because the amount of water vapour that the air can carry before condensation occurs varies with temperature. If you take hot humid air aind cool it down some of that humidity will drop out as condensation - turn into water.
What are the things that can go down the drain?
Things that can safely go down the drain include water, soap, shampoo, and toothpaste. Other items, such as food scraps, grease, oil, and chemicals should not be poured down the drain as they can cause clogs, damage the plumbing system, or contaminate the water supply.
How do you keep a koi pond from over heating?
you put a water control system in it to cool it down or put it in a colder place.
How does a heating or cooling degree day calculate?
Heating degree day:For each regular temperature measurement in a day write down 0 iftemperature is above heating-balance-temperature. Otherwise write down the difference between balance-temperature and air-temperature. Degree days is the average of all the numbers written down.Cooling degree day:For each regular temperature measurement in a day write down 0 iftemperature is below cooling-balance-temperature. Otherwise write down the difference between balance-temperature and air-temperature. Degree days is the average of all the numbers written down.
Should you install a programmable thermostat for radiant water heating?
I think if you are using a radiant heating system like warm board that can respond quickly to changes in temperature then a programmable thermostat makes sense. However if you are using concrete slab radiant heat, which takes a long time to heat up and cool down a programmable thermostat will be less efficient than leaving it at one set temperature.
What is the highest temperature level allowed in a sauna heater system?
There are many different brands of sauna heaters available. Each sauna heater system has a fail safe temperature control. This control automatically shuts down the heating element when the temperature reaches between 150 - 190 degrees Fahrenheit.
Is caramel a bean?
Caramel is made by heating sugars to about 170C. The heating process breaks down the sugar molecules and they reform as caramel at that temperature
What unique feature does water exhibit in response to temperature changes?
The unique feature of water in response to temperature changes is known as the anomalous expansion of water. When heated, ice and water first contract till the temperature exceeds 4 degrees Celsius at which point expansion starts.
How is the endocrine system similar to a heating system in a home?
If you get hot the endocrine system causes you to sweat, cooling you down. If you get cold your muscles twitch uncontrollably heating you up. If it's hot and you stop sweating, that's a sign of heat exhaustion. You've sweated all your water out and it's time for H20 man.
Is it possible to change the temperature of a water boiler the safe setting is 120 degrees and I want to know if a water boiler can be changed to that setting?
Boiler should be set at max temperature of 180 degrees for proper heating temperature. 120 degrees is temperature for domestic hot water, not heating temperature. Yes, to answer question, but not recommended.Improved answer. -If you are referring to the hot water heater that gives water to your hot faucets this is not generally known as a 'boiler' (a boiler is for hydronic heating) Your faucet supply can be turned down to any setting between 110 and 160. Normal setting is 130-135. with small children it should be 120. - on most heaters there is an adjustment knob on the gas regulator or the lower electric element . It's well marked and easy to adjust.
Every time my heating system in my house comes on I hear a dripping sound in the ceiling. What could be the cause?
If you have a hot water system the plumbing is expanding and retracting as the pipes heat up and cool down. If it was leaking water it would have shown up by now.
Do you need to leave hot and cold water on to keep it from freezing?
Given that you are not changing the fluid in your water heater, and your heating source is 100% efficient, and you are paying a constant rate for your heating source, then turn off your water heater. Reason: The water in your water heater will always try to return to room temperature. The rate it returns to the room temperature is governed by the insulation around the water heater and the difference in temperature between your set point and the room temperature. So to keep the water heated to the set temperature, it requires adding the heat that passes through the insulation over time. If your water cools some amount, lets say 10 degrees, there exists a smaller temperature difference between the water temperature and the room temperature, and the cooling rate slows. This is why there is savings if you turn down your room temperature in the winter, or the water temperature.
Why is hot water coming out of a vent pipe on the central heating system with no blocks and a new pump if the boiler is turned down?
Check the overflow pipes and pans to be certain that they are not clogged.
Why is it a good idea to start with room temperature water in the calorimeter?
To negate an effect of heating up/cooling down because of the environment as the experiment takes place
