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.
What is a cold anticipator?
A cold anticipator is a device used in older thermostats to improve temperature regulation. It works by preventing the heating system from overshooting the desired temperature. As the name suggests, it anticipates the room cooling down before the set temperature is reached and adjusts the heating system accordingly.
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 much money do you save by turning the heating down 1 degree?
The amount of money you save by turning the heating down 1 degree will vary depending on factors such as the size of your home, the type of heating system you have, and the local energy costs. In general, a 1-degree decrease in temperature can save around 1-3% on your heating bill.
What is the purpose of a water heater pressure tank and how does it help regulate the pressure in a water heating system?
The purpose of a water heater pressure tank is to help regulate the pressure in a water heating system by maintaining a consistent pressure level. It does this by absorbing excess pressure when the water heats up, and releasing stored pressure when the water cools down, ensuring a stable and safe pressure level in the system.
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.
How do you dissolve amylose?
Amylose can be dissolved by heating it in water to form a viscous solution. The process involves heating the water to a temperature where the amylose molecules break down and disperse in the water, creating a thick solution. Cooling the solution will cause the amylose to solidify back into a gel-like substance.
What is the purpose of a pressurized expansion tank in a heating or cooling system?
The purpose of a pressurized expansion tank in a heating or cooling system is to accommodate the expansion and contraction of the system's water or refrigerant as it heats up and cools down, helping to maintain a stable pressure within the system and prevent damage or leaks.
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.
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.
Why is it a good idea to start with room temperature water in the calorimeter?
Starting with room temperature water in the calorimeter helps to ensure that the initial temperature of the system is consistent. This helps in accurately measuring the heat transferred during the experiment. Additionally, using room temperature water reduces the time needed for the water to reach thermal equilibrium, making the experiment more efficient.
What happens when heat is removed from a system?
When heat is removed from a system, the temperature within the system decreases. This can lead to a decrease in kinetic energy of the particles within the system, causing a slowing down of molecular movement and potentially leading to a phase change if the temperature drops low enough.
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
