Heating Element Terms
– A substance made of two or more metals
or of a metal and a non-metal usually being fused together and dissolving
in each other when molten.
– To heat and then cool a solid (usually steel or glass)
for softening, cooling slowly in a furnace to result in a less brittle
material.
– The joining of metals through the use of heat and a filler
metal to form a strong joint. The filler metal is usually silver alloy.
– The amount of heat required to raise
or lower the temperature of one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit.
– To combine, often a metal, with carbon.
– The metric temperature scale in which water freezes at
zero degrees and boils at 100 degrees, designated by the symbol "C".
– Any product made essentially from a nonmetallic mineral
(clay) by firing at a high temperature, examples: porcelain or brick.
– Any coiled element that serves as the source of heat.
- In a heat pump system, the coil absorbs heat from the
outdoors.
– A pipe or conduit through which air is delivered. Ducts
are typically made of metal, fiberboard or a flexible material.
– Direct expansion; a system in which heat is transferred by
the direct expansion of refrigerant.
– The temperature scale at which water freezes at 32
degrees and boils at 212 degrees, designated by the letter “F”.
– A brick that can withstand high temperatures and is
used specifically for lining furnaces or fireplaces.
– An element that has broken and is touching something
metal, like the cage that is supposed to hold the element or the element
metal housing.
– Invisible waves, sensed as heat, which have lengths
longer than red visible light and shorter than microwaves.
– Unit of measurement of energy 1000 watts.
– A mineral made of a shiny, transparent, flat chemical crystals.
It is often used as an electrical insulator.
– A space or ducting used to distribute the air
evenly in the process of cooling, heating or humidifying.
– Can be determined by dividing the total bearing
load by the bearing projected area (inner diameter * width).
– A measurement of heat equal to 100,000 BTU.
– Measures the
difference in potential created at the junction of two different metal
wires, which feed from the measuring
instrument.
– An automated device for controlling temperature.
– The meter-kilogram-second unit of power equal to the power
produced by a current of one ampere across a potential difference of
one volt, 1/746 horsepower.
