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 ...
1 Standard utility natural gas delivered at typical residential distribution line pressures. 2 Regulated AC net/lower heating value of fuel. 3 Only heat available at 80 °C or higher is included in CHP energy efficiency calculation. 4 Cost includes materials and labor costs to produce stack, plus any balance of plant necessary for stack ...
By coupling the system with building mass, radiant cooling can shift some cooling to off-peak night time hours. Radiant cooling appears to have lower first costs [17] and lifecycle costs compared to conventional systems. Lower first costs are largely attributed to integration with structure and design elements, while lower life cycle costs ...

Despite its name, a radiator does not primarily heat a room by radiation. If positioned correctly a radiator will create an air convection current in the room, which will provide the main heat transfer mechanism. 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.
Generac's industrial sizing application, Power Design Pro, received silver in the 2010 Plant Engineering "Product of the Year" award. [ 12 ] The company has also earned the Good Housekeeping Seal for its Guardian Series home standby generators and several portable generators.
The Michigan Radiator & Iron Manufacturing Company was founded in 1888. John B. Dyar, manager and owner of the Detroit Metal & Heating Works, was the main promoter. [1] Clarence M. Woolley joined the firm in 1887. [2] The Detroit Radiator Company was founded in 1882 by Henry C. and Charles C. Hodges. [1]
A 200 kW Caterpillar diesel generator set in a sound attenuated enclosure used as an emergency backup at a sewage treatment substation in Atlanta, United States. A diesel generator (DG) (also known as a diesel GenSet) is the combination of a diesel engine with an electric generator (often an alternator) to generate electrical energy. [1]
