Energy efficiency

A type of heating appliance similar to a fireplace, but much more efficient and clean burning. They are made of masonry and have long channels through which combustion gases give up their heat to the ...

Geothermal heat pump

Energy; Energy efficiency

A type of heat pump that uses the ground, ground water, or ponds as a heat source and heat sink, rather than outside air. Ground or water temperatures are more constant and are warmer in winter and ...

Earth-coupled ground source heat pump

Energy; Energy efficiency

A type of heat pump that uses sealed horizontal or vertical pipes, buried in the ground, as heat exchangers through which a fluid is circulated to transfer heat.

Differential thermostat

Energy; Energy efficiency

A type of automatic thermostat (used on solar heating systems) that responds to temperature differences (between collectors and the storage components) so as to regulate the functioning of appliances ...

Complete mix digester

Energy; Energy efficiency

A type of anaerobic digester that has a mechanical mixing system and where temperature and volume are controlled to maximise the anaerobic digestion process for biological waste treatment, methane ...

Plug flow digester

Energy; Energy efficiency

A type of anaerobic digester that has a horizontal tank in which a constant volume of material is added and forces material in the tank to move through the tank and be digested.
