- Company Profile:
A solar thermal collector in which incident solar radiation is absorbed directly by the storage medium.
Industry:Energy
The ownership of the minerals beneath the earth's surface with the right to remove them. Mineral rights may be conveyed separately from surface rights.
Industry:Energy
Low-emission glass reflects up to 90% of long-wave radiation, which is heat, but lets in short-wave radiation, which is light. Windows are glazed with a coating that bonds amicroscopic, transparent, metallic substance to the inside surface ofthe double-pane or triple-pane windows.
Industry:Energy
The summation of the continuously varying instantaneous demand averaged over a specified interval of time. The information is usually determined by examining a demand meter.
Industry:Energy
Mineral matter in coal is the parent material in coal from which ash is derived and which comes from minerals present in the original plant materials that formed the coal, or from extraneous sources such as sediments and precipitates from mineralized water. Mineral matter in coal cannot be analytically determined and is commonly calculated using data on ash and ash-forming constituents. Coal analyses are calculated to the mineral matter free basis by adjusting formulas used in calculations in order to deduct the weight of mineral matter from the total coal.
Industry:Energy
Reduce the amount of waterflow through the showerhead from 5 to 6 gallons a minute to 3 gallons a minute.
Industry:Energy
Coal, water, and oxygen are fed to gasifier, which produces syngas. This medium-Btu gas is cleaned (particulates and sulfurcompounds removed) and is fed to a gas turbine. The hot exhaust of the gas turbine and heat recovered from the gasification process are routed through a heat-recovery routed through a heat-recovery generator toproduce steam, which drives a steam turbine to produce electricity.
Industry:Energy
Small van that first appeared with that designation in 1984. Any of the smaller vans built on an automobile-type frame. Earlier models such as the Volkswagen van are now included in this category.
Industry:Energy
A toilet that uses less water than a standard one during flushing, for the purpose of conserving water resources.
Industry:Energy
The amount of a quantity per unit floor space. This method adjusts either the amount of energy consumed or expenditures spent, for the effects of various building characteristics,such as size of the building, number of workers, or number of operating hours, to facilitate comparisons of energy across time, fuels, and buildings.
