  2. Wiring diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiring_diagram

    A wiring diagram for parts of an electric guitar, showing semi-pictorial representation of devices arranged in roughly the same locations they would have in the guitar. An automotive wiring diagram, showing useful information such as crimp connection locations and wire colors. These details may not be so easily found on a more schematic drawing.

  3. Knob-and-tube wiring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knob-and-tube_wiring

    [4] [citation needed] This direct routing method has the advantage of reduced cost by allowing use of the shortest possible lengths of wire, but the major disadvantage is that a detailed building wiring diagram is needed for other electricians to understand multiple interwoven circuits, especially if the wiring is not fully visible throughout ...

  4. Central heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_heating

    This limit controller may shut the furnace off if the blower fails or if something is blocking the air flow. The heated air is then sent back through the home through supply ducts. In larger commercial applications, central heating is provided through an air handler which incorporates similar components as a furnace but on a larger scale.

  5. Water-tube boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water-tube_boiler

    The older fire-tube boiler design, in which the water surrounds the heat source and gases from combustion pass through tubes within the water space, is typically a much weaker structure and is rarely used for pressures above 2.4 MPa (350 psi). A significant advantage of the watertube boiler is that there is less chance of a catastrophic failure ...

  6. Electric arc furnace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_arc_furnace

    [3] A schematic cross section through a Heroult arc furnace. E is an electrode (only one shown), raised and lowered by the rack and pinion drive R and S. The interior is lined with refractory brick H, and K denotes the bottom lining. A door at A allows access to the interior. The furnace shell rests on rockers to allow it to be tilted for tapping.

  7. List of preserved historic blast furnaces - Wikipedia

    Originally a charcoal furnace, the old blast furnace at Coalbrookdale was leased in 1709 by Abraham Darby I, who used it to make coke pig iron and created the first long-term business to do so. The furnace remained in use until the 19th century and now forms part of the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust's Museum of Iron. IGMT: Madeley Wood or Bedlam

An open-hearth furnace or open hearth furnace is any of several kinds of industrial furnace in which excess carbon and other impurities are burnt out of pig iron to produce ...

  9. Cupola furnace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cupola_furnace

    During the Han dynasty (202 BC – 220 AD), most, if not all, iron smelted in the blast furnace was remelted in a cupola furnace; it was designed so that a cold blast injected at the bottom traveled through tuyere pipes across the top where the charge (i.e. of charcoal and scrap or pig iron) was dumped, the air becoming a hot blast before ...
