A fluid used to absorb and transfer heat energy.

For valves and fittings, implies that they are suitable for working pressures between 125 to 175 pounds per square inch.

The rate of energy transfer equivalent to one ampere under an electrical pressure of one volt. One watt equals 1/746 horsepower, or one joule per second. It is the product of Voltage and Current (amperage).

The power output of a device under specific or nominal operating conditions.

A structure or media that absorbs heat.

A product of crude oil that is used for space heating, diesel engines, and electrical generation.

The electrical and magnetic fields created by the presence or flow of electricity in an electrical conductor or electricity consuming appliance or motor.

A type of cooling system that uses a charging and discharging cycle with a thermal or latent heat storage subsystem.

Energy generated from an electromagnetic field produced by an electric current flowing through a superconducting wire kept at a specific low temperature.

A discontinuance of electric power supply.

A device that transfers heat by the continuous evaporation and condensation of an internal fluid.

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.

The change in the power available in the wind due to changes in the windspeed or velocity profile; the windpower profile is proportional to the cube of the wind speed profile.

The process of implementing measures to reduce peak power demands on a system.

A device that uses electronic components to regulate the voltage of fluorescent lamps.

The heat-transfer (exchanger) component of a heatpump, located outdoors, from which heat is collected in the heating mode, or expelled in the cooling mode.

An index that combines sensible temperature and air humidity to arrive at a number that closely responds to the effective temperature; used to relate temperature and humidity to levels of comfort.

A power source/generator that operates independently of or is not connected to an electric transmission and distribution network; used to meet a load(s) physically close to the generator.

The ratio of a boiler's or gasifier's maximum output to its minimum output.
