2. Water heat recycling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_heat_recycling

   When recycling water from a bath (100–150 litres) or shower (50–80 litres) the waste water temperature is circa 20–25 °C. An in-house greywater recycling tank holds 150–175 litres allowing for the majority of waste water to be stored. Utilizing a built in copper heat exchange with circulation pump the residual heat is recovered and ...

3. Waste heat recovery unit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste_heat_recovery_unit

   Traditionally, waste heat of low temperature range (0-120 °C, or typically under 100 °C) has not been used for electricity generation despite efforts by ORC companies, [citation needed] mainly because the Carnot efficiency is rather low (max. 18% for 90 °C heating and 20 °C cooling, minus losses, typically ending up with 5-7% net electricity).

4. Furnace (central heating) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furnace_(central_heating)

   The furnace transfers heat to the living space of the building through an intermediary distribution system. If the distribution is through hot water (or other fluid) or through steam, then the furnace is more commonly called a boiler. One advantage of a boiler is that the furnace can provide hot water for bathing and washing dishes, rather than ...

5. O-type boiler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O-type_boiler

   The large radiant heating area available allows a combustion rate, for a given furnace volume, of around twice that for a contemporary boiler, such as the Yarrow. Small examples of the O-type are used as some package boilers. [2] Most package boilers are fire-tube boilers, often used for heating or process steam, and generally work at lower ...

6. Condensing boiler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condensing_boiler

   Condensing boilers are water heaters typically used for heating systems that are fueled by gas or oil. When operated in the correct circumstances, a heating system can achieve high efficiency (greater than 90% on the higher heating value ) by condensing water vapour found in the exhaust gases in a heat exchanger to preheat the circulating water.

7. List of boiler types by manufacturer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_boiler_types_by...

   heat-recovery boiler: a boiler without its own furnace, used to recover heat from some earlier process, such as a large marine Diesel engine or an industrial furnace. [19] Hornsby boiler: a form of bundled-tube water-tube boiler. [14] Huber boiler: a return-tube boiler used in the Huber company's traction engines. haystack boiler

8. Boiler design - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_design

   Boiler design is the process of designing boilers used for various purposes. The main function of a boiler is to heat water to generate steam. Steam produced in a boiler can be used for a variety of purposes including space heating, sterilisation, drying, humidification and power generation. The temperature or condition of steam required for ...

9. Regenerative heat exchanger - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regenerative_heat_exchanger

   For example, a blast furnace may have several "stoves" or "checkers" full of refractory fire brick. The hot gas from the furnace is ducted through the brickwork for some interval, say one hour, until the brick reaches a high temperature. Valves then operate and switch the cold intake air through the brick, recovering the heat for use in the ...
