Company Profile:
The component of a central air conditioner that is designed to remove heat absorbed by the refrigerant and transfer it outside the conditioned space.
Industry:Energy
The component of a central receiver solar thermal system where reflected solar energy is absorbed and converted to thermal energy.
Industry:Energy
The component of a combustion device that regulates the amount of air entering the combustion chamber.
Industry:Energy
The component of a solar energy heating system that collects solar radiation, and that contains components to absorb solar radiation and transfer the heat to a heat transfer fluid (air or liquid).
Industry:Energy
The component of a solar thermal collector that absorbs solar radiation and converts it to heat, or, as in a solar photovoltaic device, the material that readily absorbs photons to generate charge carriers (free electrons or holes).
Industry:Energy
The component of an electric motor composed of solid bars (of usually copper or aluminum) arranged in a circle and connected to continuous rings at each end. This cage fits inside the stator in an induction motor in channels between laminations, thin flat discs of steel in a ring configuration.
Industry:Energy
The compound (working fluid) used in air conditioners, heat pumps, and refrigerators to transfer heat into or out of an interior space. This fluid boils at a very low temperature enabling it to evaporate and absorb heat.
Industry:Energy
The concept of capturing and converting the energy available in the motion of ocean waves to energy.
Industry:Energy
The conditioned or unconditioned space below the main living area or primary floor of a building.
Industry:Energy
The control of the quality, quantity, and temperature-humidity of the air in an interior space.
