The American Gas Association represents local energy companies that deliver natural gas throughout the United States.
Curtailment imposed on a seasonal summer (April-October) or winter (November-March) basis because of gas supply deficiency. See PEAK DAY CURTAILMENT.
Industry:Energy
Mixture in which the components lose their identity and are uniformly dispersed. All solutions are composed of a solvent (water or other fluid) and the substance dissolved called the "solute". A true solution is homogeneous, as salt in water. Air is a solution of oxygen and nitrogen.
Industry:Energy
The amount of gas that can be transported under specified conditions of pressure, temperature and loading (generally peak day requirements). Note that the maximum amount of gas that can be delivered during any period time may vary depending upon the amount of line pack, pressure differential, points of receipt and delivery, gas gravity and temperature conditions at the beginning of the period. Consequently, a system's capacity will vary from time to time depending upon existing conditions.
Industry:Energy
The percentage of total energy stored in water which is lost each hour from a storage-type water heater.
Industry:Energy
The working interest owner(s) other than the owner designated as the operator of the property.
Industry:Energy
A forced-air type central furnace designed with air flow through the furnace essentially in a vertical path, discharging air at or near the bottom of the furnace.
Industry:Energy
A plate of noncorrosive material which can be fastened between flanges or in a special fitting perpendicular to the axis of flow and having a concentric circular hole. The primary use is for the measurement of gas flow.
Industry:Energy
A well which produces at surface conditions the contents of a gas reservoir; legal definitions vary among the states.
Industry:Energy
Curtailment of gas service is a method to balance a utility's natural gas requirements with its natural gas supply. Usually there is a hierarchy of customers for the curtailment plan. A customer may be required to partially cut back or totally eliminate his take of gas depending on the severity of the shortfall between gas supply and demand and the customer's position in the hierarchy.
Industry:Energy
Modification to allow an increase of air entering the furnace above the fire and reduction of air entering near the coal.
