  2. Operative temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operative_temperature

    Operative temperature is used in heat transfer and thermal comfort analysis in transportation and buildings. [10] Most psychrometric charts used in HVAC design only show the dry bulb temperature on the x-axis(abscissa), however, it is the operative temperature which is specified on the x-axis of the psychrometric chart illustrated in ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 55 – Thermal Environmental Conditions ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. Reverberatory furnace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverberatory_furnace

    A reverberatory furnace is at a disadvantage from the standpoint of efficiency compared to a blast furnace due to the separation of the burning fuel and the subject material, and it is necessary to effectively utilize both reflected radiant heat and direct contact with the exhaust gases to maximize heat transfer.

  5. Heating system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating_system

    Central heating systems: These systems produce heat in one central location and distribute it throughout the building. This category includes furnaces, boilers, and heat pumps. [1] [2] Distributed heating systems: These systems generate heat in the space they are to heat, without extensive duct systems. Examples include electric space heaters ...

  6. Industrial furnace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_furnace

    The convection section is located above the radiant section where it is cooler to recover additional heat. Heat transfer takes place by convection here, and the tubes are finned to increase heat transfer. The first three tube rows in the bottom of the convection section and at the top of the radiant section is an area of bare tubes (without ...

  7. Radiant heating and cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiant_heating_and_cooling

    Radiant heating as a technology is more narrowly defined. It is the method of intentionally using the principles of radiant heat to transfer radiant energy from an emitting heat source to an object. Designs with radiant heating are seen as replacements for conventional convection heating as well as a way of supplying confined outdoor heating.

  8. Building insulation material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation_material

    A radiant barrier by itself will not affect heat conducted through the material by direct contact or heat transferred by moist air rising or convection. For this reason, trying to associate R-values with radiant barriers is difficult and inappropriate. The R-value test measures heat transfer through the material, not to or from its surface.

  9. Underfloor heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underfloor_heating

    The amount of heat exchanged from or to an underfloor system is based on the combined radiant and convective heat transfer coefficients. Radiant heat transfer is constant based on the Stefan–Boltzmann constant. Convective heat transfer changes over time depending on the air's density and thus its buoyancy.
