  2. Peperomia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peperomia

    Peperomia plants do not have a widely- accepted common name, and some argue that it is better to use the genus name, as is the case with genera such as Petunia and Begonia. [4] They are sometimes called radiator plants , a name possibly coined by L.H. Bailey because many of them enjoy bright and dry environments similar to a windowsill above a ...

  3. Refrigeration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refrigeration

    The optimum temperature range for perishable food storage is 3 to 5 °C (37 to 41 °F). [68] In commerce and manufacturing, there are many uses for refrigeration. Refrigeration is used to liquefy gases – oxygen, nitrogen, propane, and methane, for example.

  4. Cooling tower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooling_tower

    The primary use of large, industrial cooling towers is to remove the heat absorbed in the circulating cooling water systems used in power plants, petroleum refineries, petrochemical plants, natural gas processing plants, food processing plants, semi-conductor plants, and for other industrial facilities such as in condensers of distillation ...

  5. Radiator (heating) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiator_(heating)

    A radiator is a device that transfers heat to a medium primarily through thermal radiation.In practice, the term radiator is often applied to any number of devices in which a fluid circulates through exposed pipes (often with fins or other means of increasing surface area), notwithstanding that such devices tend to transfer heat mainly by convection and might logically be called convectors.

  6. Food storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_storage

    A food storage calculator can be used to help determine how much of these staple foods a person would need to store in order to sustain life for one full year. In addition to storing the basic food items many people choose to supplement their food storage with frozen or preserved garden-grown fruits and vegetables and freeze-dried or canned ...

  8. Coolant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coolant

    Some designs, e.g. CANDU reactor, use both types; heavy water in the nonpressurized calandria tank as the moderator and a supplementary coolant, and light water as the primary heat transfer fluid. Polyalkylene glycol (PAG) is used as high temperature, thermally stable heat transfer fluids exhibiting strong resistance to oxidation. Modern PAGs ...

  9. Central heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_heating

    In a steam heating system, each room is equipped with a radiator which is connected to a source of low-pressure steam (a boiler). Steam entering the radiator condenses and gives up its latent heat, returning to liquid water. The radiator in turn heats the air of the room, and provides some direct radiant heat. The condensate water returns to ...
