  2. Thermopile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermopile

    The output voltage from the thermopile, ΔV, is directly proportional to the temperature differential, ΔT or T 1 - T 2, across the thermal resistance layer and number of thermocouple junction pairs. The thermopile voltage output is also directly proportional to the heat flux, q", through the thermal resistance layer.

  3. Thermocouple - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermocouple

    A thermocouple (the right most tube) inside the burner assembly of a water heater Thermocouple connection in gas appliances. The end ball (contact) on the left is insulated from the fitting by an insulating washer. The thermocouple line consists of copper wire, insulator and outer metal (usually copper) sheath which is also used as ground. [33]

  4. Thermopile laser sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermopile_laser_sensor

    Figure 2: [8] Working principle of a thermal laser sensor (Adapted from figure 3 with permission) As shown in Fig 2, a thermopile laser sensor consists of several thermocouples connected in series with one junction type (hot junction at temperature T 1) being exposed to an absorption area and the other junction type (cold junction at temperature T 2) being exposed to a heat sink.

  5. Pilot light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_light

    The appliance efficiency of a gas-fired balanced flue local space heater in pilot light mode is almost equal with the appliance efficiency measured at the reduced power of the appliance, which efficiency is between 65–95% based on the low calorific value of the consumed gas, making part of the pilot light's energy consumption into useful heat.

  6. Gardon gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gardon_gauge

    While heat flux sensors can be made according to various designs, the sensor of a Gardon gauge consists of a foil connected to the sensor body at its external radius, and connected to a thin wire at the center, named after its originator Robert Gardon. [1] The foil center and side are the hot- and cold joint of a thermocouple respectively. When ...

  7. Thermoelectric generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_generator

    Every human activity, transport and industrial process generates waste heat, being possible to harvest residual energy from cars, aircraft, ships, industries and the human body. [1] From cars the main source of energy is the exhaust gas. [32] Harvesting that heat energy using a thermoelectric generator can increase the fuel efficiency of the car.

  8. Thermostat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermostat

    The illustration is the interior of a common two wire heat-only household thermostat, used to regulate a gas-fired heater via an electric gas valve. Similar mechanisms may also be used to control oil furnaces, boilers, boiler zone valves , electric attic fans, electric furnaces, electric baseboard heaters, and household appliances such as ...

  9. Thermoelectric effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_effect

    When an electric current is passed through a circuit of a thermocouple, heat is generated at one junction and absorbed at the other junction. This is known as the Peltier effect : the presence of heating or cooling at an electrified junction of two different conductors.
