Wilcox's patent for a car heater, 1893. Margaret A. Wilcox (1838 – March 30, 1912) was an American mechanical engineer and inventor known for her late-nineteenth-century discoveries. The automotive heating system established the foundation for modern vehicle temperature control. She also contributed to the development of home appliance ...
In traditional plumbing in the UK, the space-heating boiler is set up to heat a separate hot water cylinder or water heater for potable hot water. Such water heaters are often fitted with an auxiliary electrical immersion heater for use if the boiler is out of action for a time. Heat from the space-heating boiler is transferred to the water ...
A water fountain (right) and a hot water dispenser (left) in Beijing Capital International Airport. Most types have a small thermally-insulated tank with a heater which keeps the water in the hot tank. When the handle is pressed, cool tap water flows into the tank and displaces the near-boiling water, which flows out of the spout.

Hot coolant passing through the heater core gives off heat before returning to the engine cooling circuit. The squirrel cage fan of the vehicle's ventilation system forces air through the heater core to transfer heat from the coolant to the cabin air, which is directed into the vehicle through vents at various points.
sewage systems and septic systems with or without hot water heat recycling and graywater recovery and treatment systems; Rainwater, surface, and subsurface water drainage; fuel gas piping; hydronics, i.e. heating and cooling systems using water to transport thermal energy, as in district heating systems, like for example the New York City steam ...
For example, the absorption spectrum for water has its peak at around 3 μm. This means that emission from medium-wave or carbon infrared heaters is much better absorbed by water and water-based coatings than NIR or short-wave infrared radiation. The same is true for many plastics like PVC or polyethylene. Their peak absorption is around 3.5 ...
A parked car plugged in to an electrical outlet to power the block heater. Block heaters are frequently used in regions with cold winters such as the northern United States, Canada, Russia and Scandinavia. In some countries where block heaters are commonly used, carparks are sometimes fitted with electrical outlets for powering the block heaters.
