The minimum clearance to combustibles for a woodburning stove is typically 36 inches on all sides. However, this can vary depending on the specific model and manufacturer, so it's important to refer to the stove's installation manual for precise guidelines.

On average, an electric clothes dryer uses about 3-5 kWh of electricity per cycle on high heat and about 2-3 kWh on low heat, for an average-size dryer. This can vary depending on the specific model and energy efficiency rating of the appliance.

that is a really good question to think about ... well i think that the water which is presented in the clothes is removed by the heating up of the dryer in other words i mean that when the dryer become extremely hot the water begins to boil.And then the water begins to turn to gas like wise something like evaporation.

The main reason we supply 220 volts to a clothes dryer and 110 volts to a toaster is that the dryer needs a lot more powerthan the toaster. To transfer power, we have a voltage and then deliver enough amps to supply the power. Volts times amps is power (watts). Let's look at that a bit. When we supply power, we supply a combination of volts and amps. As an example, if we supply 10 amps at 10 volts, we supply 100 watts. But we could supply 100 watts by using 5 amps at 20 volts. Or 25 amps at 4 volts. As you can see, various combinations of voltages and currents will deliver the same power. In the case of the dryer, we elect to use a higher voltage so we don't have to supply so much current. Though high voltages can be dangerous, the demands associated with supplying large currents present problems, too. The 220 volts is available across the pair of 110-volt electrical buses of the mains, so the idea of using the 220 was chosen to avoid higher currents and the need to use much heavier (larger gauge) wiring in the electrical drop or utility line. Also, because we'd be shoving so much more current through the circuits at lower voltage, we'd encounter higher resistive losses. A higher voltage and a lower current (to deliver the same power) makes for less loss and more efficiency.

the centre weight drives the actual time keeping mechanism of the clock. Obviously this operates non stop. The two other weights drive the chime and strike mechanisms. Since these are usually set to be silent during the night and therefore not being used as much, the central weight will require winding up the most.

Because they resemble the shape of an unshelled peanut.

Actually, I have it on good authority that years ago, peanut hull, from shelled peanuts were used as packing material.......when we went to other materials, the name hung on......not positive, but sounds plausable. Also, popcorn used to be used as packing material as well........still, better fact check me !!

A cloth washing machine works by mixing water and detergent to create a cleaning solution that agitates and cleans the clothes. The clothes are then rinsed with clean water and spun at high speeds to remove excess water. Finally, the clothes are dried either through a spin cycle or by being placed in a separate dryer.

To convert a Whirlpool gas range to propane, you will need to purchase a propane conversion kit from Whirlpool that is compatible with your specific model. The conversion process involves replacing the gas orifices, adjusting the air shutter, and possibly changing the pressure regulator settings. It is recommended to have a professional technician perform the conversion to ensure it is done correctly and safely.

Hot water can cause clothes to shrink because it can break down the fibers in the fabric and cause them to contract. It is generally recommended to wash clothes in cold water to prevent shrinking, especially for delicate or synthetic fabrics.

If you have a heat pump system, YES the compressor should run. You can find out if the system is a heat pump usually by looking at the thermostat. Heat pump thermostats usually have "Cool-Off-Heat-Emergency Heat" on the system switch. Another way would be to feel the air coming out of the outside unit when the heat is on. If the air coming out feels very cold, then it's a heat pump.

even if you have a heat pump, the only way the in door unit should be producing heat is if you are all electric if you are gas the heat pump should lockout to prevent the persure from getting to high causing the indoor coil to blow up.

A round shape allows the drum to rotate more smoothly and evenly during the washing cycle, preventing clothes from getting tangled or stuck in the corners. It also helps distribute water and detergent more effectively for better cleaning results. Additionally, the round shape is more structurally sound and durable for withstanding the forces and vibrations generated during the wash cycle.

Hand dryers work by blowing heated air onto wet hands to evaporate the water and dry them. The motor inside the dryer creates airflow that is then heated and directed through a nozzle. The combination of air flow and heat helps to quickly and efficiently dry hands.

Yes. They will not look "bad" by any means, but it won't look fantastc either. It mostly depends on your service provider. Time warner is the worst picture quality out there. then comes comcast. Then the top of the line stuff, for cable anyway, is Verizon Fios.

* Dryer duct is clogged. * Vent screen is clogged. * Heater element is burned open. * Thermal switch is covered with lint. * Thermal switch does not close. * Air is humid. * Dryer outlet air not ducted away from the dryer. * Too many clothes. * "Air Dry" cycle selected. * Timer assembly broken, or no connection to allow the heater element to operate. * "A watched pot never boils", maybe you are impatient. * clothes lines are "green" technology.

Clothes dried on a clothesline are stiffer because they are exposed to the natural wind and sun, which can cause the fabric fibers to become more rigid. In contrast, clothes dried in a dryer are subjected to tumbling action, heat, and sometimes softening agents, which can keep the fabric softer.

The relationship between amps and kilowatts depends on the voltage of the circuit. To calculate the amperage for a given kilowatt value, you need to know the voltage as well. The formula to convert kilowatts to amps is Amps = (kW * 1000) / Volts.

To install a drop-in range, first make sure the electrical or gas connections are in place. Slide the range into the cutout space in the countertop, ensuring it fits securely. Connect the power or gas supply, and then level the range using adjustable feet. Finally, secure the range to the countertop with screws or brackets provided.

Turn the burner on high. Get two small pots and put the desired amount of water (split in two) into them. Then put lids on them. It also helps to put something with rough edges so the vapor bubbles can cling to the new surface. It works faster if your are on a mountain or somewhere where there is low air pressure. And, since we all know how time goes so slow when we wait for it to pass, don't sit and watch it.

A vacuum cleaner creates suction by lowering the air pressure inside the vacuum, causing higher pressure air from the surrounding area to rush in and fill the space. This rushing air creates the sensation of air being "sucked" into the vacuum cleaner.

A roof made of straw or leaves is called a thatched roof. Thatching is a traditional roofing method that involves layering dry vegetation such as straw, reeds, or palm leaves to create a waterproof covering for buildings.

because it might be clogged Water level in your toilet bowl is first determined by the water level in your reserve tank on back of stool. Check there first to see if it is filling properly. Second reason, maybe that you have a obstruction in you main line, however slight it will cause gravity to take control.

Yes, and not only heat but it does produce carbon monoxide also as a by product of combustion

An alcohol lamp is a simple heating device that uses alcohol as fuel and a wick to produce an open flame. It is commonly used in laboratories for sterilization, heating, and small-scale experiments. The alcohol is ignited, producing a consistent and controllable flame that can reach high temperatures for various applications.

I assume you are speaking about inverters that make Alternating Current out of DC batteries, like those that are frequently used in vehicles, typically for camping or construction Most inverters are smaller than 5000 watts, but if you could get one, for air conditioning you would need a lot of battery storage because I assume you would not just run the air conditioner a few minutes. I would think the generator is the better way
