    It is generally agreed that for the best results a steam radiator should be no more than one to two inches (2.5 to 5cm) from a wall. Single-pipe systems are limited in both their ability to deliver high volumes of steam (that is, heat) [citation needed] and the ability to control the flow of steam to individual radiators [citation needed ...

  3. New York City steam system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City_steam_system

    This can be caused by external water being boiled by contact with the steam pipes or by leaks in the steam system itself. [6] At least twelve steam pipe explosions have occurred in New York City since 1987. [9] The most recent major incident was the 2018 steam pipe explosion which occurred in the Flatiron District and forced the evacuation of ...

  4. Central heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_heating

    Steam heating systems are rarely installed in new single-family residential construction owing to the cost of the piping installation. Pipes must be carefully sloped to prevent trapped condensate blockage. Compared to other methods of heating, it is more difficult to control the output of a steam system.

    Some superheaters are radiant type, which as the name suggests, they absorb heat by radiation. Others are convection type, absorbing heat from a fluid. Some are a combination of the two types. Through either method, the extreme heat in the flue gas path will also heat the superheater steam piping and the steam within.

  6. District heating - Wikipedia

    The Spittelau incineration plant is one of several plants that provide district heating in Vienna, Austria. Animated image showing how district heating works. District heating (also known as heat networks) is a system for distributing heat generated in a centralized location through a system of insulated pipes for residential and commercial heating requirements such as space heating and water ...

  7. Heat pipe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_pipe

    A laptop computer heat pipe system. A heat pipe is a heat-transfer device that employs phase transition to transfer heat between two solid interfaces. [1]At the hot interface of a heat pipe, a volatile liquid in contact with a thermally conductive solid surface turns into a vapor by absorbing heat from that surface.

  8. Heat recovery steam generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_recovery_steam_generator

    A heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) is an energy recovery heat exchanger that recovers heat from a hot gas stream, such as a combustion turbine or other waste gas stream. It produces steam that can be used in a process ( cogeneration ) or used to drive a steam turbine ( combined cycle ).

  9. Trace heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trace_heating

    Trace heating may be used to protect pipes from freezing, to maintain a constant flow temperature in hot water systems, or to maintain process temperatures for piping that must transport substances that solidify at ambient temperatures. Electric trace heating cables are an alternative to steam trace heating where steam is unavailable or ...
