Other common names include gelid waterklawer, small water clover, [1] airy pepperwort, and pepperwort, [7] though the lattermost also applies to plants in the genus Lepidium. In French it is called marsilea à quatre feuilles ( literally "four-leafed marsilea") [ 7 ] and petite marsilée ( literally "little Marsilea"), [ 1 ] the latter ...
Marsilea vestita, the hairy water-clover, is a species of largely aquatic fern in the family Marsileaceae. [2] It is native to western and central North America, the Bahamas, Barbuda, and Peru. [1] It can grow into a water form or a land form, depending on local conditions. [3]
Common names include water clover and four-leaf clover because of the long-stalked leaves have four clover-like lobes and are either present above water or submerged. It is worth clarifying that these plants are not clovers.
Marsilea quadrifolia can be grown as a potted plant, either just with soil kept wet, or semi-submerged, with fronds emergent from the water, or fully submerged, with the fronds floating on the surface of the water. In the aquarium, water clover is grown fully submerged, usually in the foreground where it spreads by means of runners. It normally ...
A water dispenser, sometimes referred to as a water cooler (if used for cooling only), is a machine that dispenses and often also cools or heats up water with a refrigeration unit. It is commonly located near the restroom due to closer access to plumbing. A drain line is also provided from the water cooler into the sewer system.
The group is commonly known as the "pepperwort family" or as the "water-clover family" because the leaves of the genus Marsilea superficially resemble the leaves of a four-leaf clover. In all, the family contains three genera and 50 to 80 species with most of those belonging to Marsilea. [1] [2]
Air-to-liquid intercoolers are usually heavier than their air-to-air counterparts, due to additional components making up the system (e.g. water circulation pump, radiator, fluid, and plumbing). The majority of marine engines use air-to-liquid intercoolers, since the water of the lake, river or sea can easily be accessed for cooling purposes.
When warm water from power plant coolant enters systems, it often mixes leading to general increases in water temperature throughout the water body, including deep cooler water. Specifically in lakes and similar water bodies, stratification leads to different effects on a seasonal basis. In the summer, thermal pollution has been seen to ...
