  2. Water heat recycling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_heat_recycling

    Installation of a double-walled copper-on-copper heat exchanger in a vertical section of the master drain line in a Canadian home (2007) Water heat recycling (also known as drain water heat recovery, waste water heat recovery, greywater heat recovery, [citation needed] or sometimes shower water heat recovery [citation needed]) is the use of a heat exchanger to recover energy and reuse heat ...

  3. Thermostatic mixing valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermostatic_mixing_valve

    The storage of water at high temperature removes one possible breeding ground for Legionella; the use of a thermostat, rather than a static mixing valve, provides increased safety against scalding, and increased user comfort, because the hot-water temperature remains constant. [1] Many TMVs use a wax thermostat for regulation. They also shut ...

  4. Water hammer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_hammer

    Water hammer is related to the speed of sound in the fluid, and elbows reduce the influences of pressure waves. Arranging the larger piping in loops that supply shorter smaller run-out pipe branches. With looped piping, lower velocity flows from both sides of a loop can serve a branch. Flywheel on a pump. Pumping station bypass.

  5. Water recycling shower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_recycling_shower

    The first recycling shower, operated by a hand pump, was patented in England in 1767 by the stove maker William Feetham. [1] This recycling shower used the pump to push the water into a basin above the user's head. To receive the water, the user pulled a chain to release the water from the basin.

  6. Tap (valve) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tap_(valve)

    A single temperature tap is commonly found in a commercial or public restroom where the temperature of the water will be controlled by a separate temperature regulating valve that mixes hot and cold water. The regulating valve may be under the handwashing sink or in a separate mechanical room or service closet.

  7. Double check valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_check_valve

    A double check valve or double check assembly (DCA) is a backflow prevention device designed to protect water supplies from contamination. [1] It is different from the two-way check valves (sometimes erroneously referred to as double check valves) used in air brake systems on heavy trucks which select from the highest pressure source.

  8. Hydraulic head - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_head

    In fluid dynamics, head is a concept that relates the energy in an incompressible fluid to the height of an equivalent static column of that fluid. From Bernoulli's principle, the total energy at a given point in a fluid is the kinetic energy associated with the speed of flow of the fluid, plus energy from static pressure in the fluid, plus energy from the height of the fluid relative to an ...

  9. Bathtub - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathtub

    A bathtub, also known simply as a bath or tub, is a container for holding water in which a person or another animal may bathe. Most modern bathtubs are made of thermoformed acrylic, porcelain-enameled steel or cast iron, or fiberglass-reinforced polyester. A bathtub is placed in a bathroom, either as a stand-alone fixture or in conjunction with ...
