  2. Corona discharge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corona_discharge

    The corona discharge around a high-voltage coil Corona discharge from a spoon attached to the high-voltage terminal of a Tesla coil Large corona discharges (white) around conductors energized by a 1.05-million-volt transformer in a U.S. NIST laboratory in 1941

  3. Superconducting magnetic energy storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconducting_magnetic...

    The combined costs of conductors, structure and refrigerator for toroidal coils are dominated by the cost of the superconductor. The same trend is true for solenoid coils. HTSC coils cost more than LTSC coils by a factor of 2 to 4. HTSC was expected to be cheaper due to lower refrigeration requirements but this is not the case.

  4. Fan coil unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_coil_unit

    A fan coil unit (FCU), also known as a Vertical Fan Coil Unit (VFCU), is a device consisting of a heat exchanger (coil) and a fan. FCUs are commonly used in HVAC systems of residential, commercial, and industrial buildings that use ducted split air conditioning or central plant cooling.

  5. Magnetic refrigeration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_refrigeration

    Thermal and magnetic hysteresis problems remain to be solved for first-order phase transition materials that exhibit the GMCE. [18] One potential application is in spacecraft. Vapor-compression refrigeration units typically achieve performance coefficients of 60% of that of a theoretical ideal Carnot cycle, much higher than current MR ...

  6. Polyphase coil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyphase_coil

    Polyphase coils are electromagnetic coils connected together in a polyphase system such as a generator or motor. In modern systems, the number of phases is usually three or a multiple of three. Each phase carries a sinusoidal alternating current whose phase is delayed relative to one of its neighbours and advanced relative to its other ...

  7. Refrigerator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refrigerator

    A large domestic refrigerator stands as tall as a person and may be about one metre (3 ft 3 in) wide with a capacity of 0.6 m 3 (21 cu ft). Refrigerators and freezers may be free standing, or built into a kitchen. The refrigerator allows the modern household to keep food fresh for longer than before.

  8. Air conditioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_conditioning

    This is partly because ice forms on the outdoor unit's heat exchanger coil, which blocks air flow over the coil. To compensate for this, the heat pump system must temporarily switch back into the regular air conditioning mode to switch the outdoor evaporator coil back to the condenser coil, to heat up and defrost. Therefore, some heat pump ...

  9. Voice coil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_coil

    A 7.5 cm diameter dual voice coil from a subwoofer driver. A voice coil (consisting of a former, collar, and winding) is the coil of wire attached to the apex of a loudspeaker cone. It provides the motive force to the cone by the reaction of a magnetic field to the current passing through it.
