- Company Profile:
The heat-transfer (exchanger) component of a heat pump, located outdoors, from which heat is collected in the heating mode, or expelled in the cooling mode.
Industry:Energy
The height above the ground that a horizontal axis wind turbine's hub is located.
Industry:Energy
The highest energy band in a semiconductor that can be filled with electrons.
Industry:Energy
The highest possible pressure in a fuel-air mixture before spontaneous ignition occurs.
Industry:Energy
The housing around a motor that supports the active parts and protects them. They come in different varieties (open, protected) depending on the degree of protection required.
Industry:Energy
The illuminating power of a standard candle employed as a unit for determining the illuminating quality of an illuminant.
Industry:Energy
The incremental cost to an electric power producer to generate or purchase a unit of electricity or capacity or both.
Industry:Energy
The inherent characteristic of a material to inhibit the transfer of energy. In electrical conductors, electrical resistance results in the generation of heat. Electrical resistance is measured in Ohms. The heat transfer resistance properties of insulation products are quantified as the R-value.
Industry:Energy
The inner coil in a heat pump that, during the cooling mode, absorbs heat from the inside air and boils the liquid refrigerant to a vapor, which cools the house.
