  2. Electromagnetically induced acoustic noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetically...

    resistors: the braking resistors of electric trains, used to dissipate electrical power when the catenary is not receptive during braking, can make electromagnetically induced acoustic noise; coils: in magnetic resonance imaging, "coil noise" is that part of total system noise attributed to the receiving coil, due to its non-zero temperature.

  3. The Hum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hum

    A 1973 report cites a university study of fifty cases of people complaining about a "low throbbing background noise" that others were unable to hear. The sound, always peaking between 30 and 40 Hz (hertz), was found to only be heard during cool weather with a light breeze, and often early in the morning. These noises were often confined to a 10 ...

  5. Talk:Contactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Contactor

    The noise level is proportional to the size of the device and the number of contacts. A small relay makes a soft click that may be difficult to hear. A large contactor makes a thud. I would not say that it is extremely loud, but you will certainly hear it if it is nearby and there is not a lot of other noise in the area.

  6. Industrial furnace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_furnace

    An industrial furnace, also known as a direct heater or a direct fired heater, is a device used to provide heat for an industrial process, typically higher than 400 degrees Celsius. [1] They are used to provide heat for a process or can serve as reactor which provides heats of reaction.

  7. Furnace (central heating) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furnace_(central_heating)

    At the furnace, cool air passes into the furnace, usually through an air filter, through the blower, then through the heat exchanger of the furnace, whence it is blown throughout the building. One major advantage of this type of system is that it also enables easy installation of central air conditioning , simply by adding a cooling coil at the ...

  8. Central heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_heating

    At that time central heating was coming into fashion in Britain, with steam or hot air systems generally being used. Details of furnace and expansion tube from Perkins' 1838 Patent. Perkins' 1832 apparatus distributed water at 200 degrees Celsius (392 °F) through small diameter pipes at high pressure. A crucial invention to make the system ...

  9. Register (air and heating) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Register_(air_and_heating)

    The hot air from the register will mix with the cold air coming off the window, cool, and drop to the floor—creating good air circulation. However, the hot air must be pushed from the register with enough force (or "throw") so that it will cross the room and reach the window.
