  2. Water heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_heating

    Where a space-heating water boiler is employed, the traditional arrangement in the UK and Ireland is to use boiler-heated (primary) water to heat potable (secondary) water contained in a cylindrical vessel (usually made of copper)—which is supplied from a cold water storage vessel or container, usually in the roof space of the building.

  3. Central heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_heating

    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 ...

  4. Back boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_boiler

    The back boiler is typically used with a gravity feed circuit to the hot water cylinder, with a vent or overflow to prevent excess pressure build up.It can also be connected to a series of radiators to provide central heating but usually requires an electrical pump to be fitted to circulate the hot water, some systems can use the gravity circuit to include radiators.

  5. Hydronics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydronics

    In the oldest modern hydronic heating technology, a single-pipe steam system delivers steam to the radiators where the steam gives up its heat and is condensed back to water. The radiators and steam supply pipes are pitched so that gravity eventually takes this condensate back down through the steam supply piping to the boiler where it can once ...

  6. Boiler (water heating) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_(water_heating)

    The boiler heats water to a temperature controlled by a thermostat. The water then flows (either by natural circulation or by a pump) to radiators in the rooms which are to be heated. Water also flows through a coil in the hot water tank to heat a separate mass of water for bathing, etc.

  7. Hydronic balancing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydronic_balancing

    Hydronic balancing, also called hydraulic balancing, is the process of optimizing the distribution of water in a building's hydronic heating or cooling system by equalizing the system pressure. In a balanced system every radiator is set to receive the proper amount of fluid in order to provide the intended indoor climate at optimum energy ...
