2. Storage water heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storage_water_heater

   A storage water heater, or a hot water system ( HWS ), is a domestic water heating appliance that uses a hot water storage tank to maximize water heating capacity and provide instantaneous delivery of hot water. [1] Conventional storage water heaters use a variety of fuels, including natural gas, propane, fuel oil, and electricity.

3. Water heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_heating

   Water heating is a heat transfer process that uses an energy source to heat water above its initial temperature. Typical domestic uses of hot water include cooking, cleaning, bathing, and space heating. In industry, hot water and water heated to steam have many uses. Domestically, water is traditionally heated in vessels known as water heaters ...

4. Thermosiphon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermosiphon

   Thermosiphon. Thermosiphon (or thermosyphon) is a method of passive heat exchange, based on natural convection, which circulates a fluid without the necessity of a mechanical pump. Thermosiphoning is used for circulation of liquids and volatile gases in heating and cooling applications such as heat pumps, water heaters, boilers and furnaces ...

5. Condensing boiler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condensing_boiler

   Condensing boiler. Condensing boilers are water heaters typically used for heating systems that are fueled by gas or oil. When operated in the correct circumstances, a heating system can achieve high efficiency (greater than 90% on the higher heating value) by condensing water vapour found in the exhaust gases in a heat exchanger to preheat the ...

6. Hot water storage tank - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_water_storage_tank

   Water is a convenient heat storage medium because it has a high specific heat capacity. This means, compared to other substances, it can store more heat per unit of weight. Water is non-toxic and low cost. An efficiently insulated tank can retain stored heat for days, reducing fuel costs. [ 2] Hot water tanks may have a built-in gas or oil ...

7. Feedwater heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feedwater_heater

   Feedwater heater. A Rankine cycle with two steam turbines and a single open feedwater heater. A feedwater heater is a power plant component used to pre-heat water delivered to a steam generating boiler. [ 1][ 2][ 3] Preheating the feedwater reduces the irreversibilities involved in steam generation and therefore improves the thermodynamic ...
