Energy efficiency
Axial flow turbine
Energy; Energy efficiency
A turbine in which the flow of a steam or gas is essentially parallel to the rotor axis.
Conduit
Energy; Energy efficiency
A tubular material used to encase and protect one or more electrical conductors.
Dip tube
Energy; Energy efficiency
A tube inside a domestic water heater that distributes the cold water from the cold water supply line into the lower area of the water heater where heating occurs.
Direct current
Energy; Energy efficiency
A type of electricity transmission and distribution by which electricity flows in one direction through the conductor; usually relatively low voltage and high current; typically abbreviated as dc.
Alternating current
Energy; Energy efficiency
A type of electrical current, the direction of which is reversed at regular intervals or cycles; in the U.S. the standard is 120 reversals or 60 cycles per second; typically abbreviated as AC.
Asynchronous generator
Energy; Energy efficiency
A type of electric generator that produces alternating current that matches an existing power source.
Regenerative cooling
Energy; Energy efficiency
A type of cooling system that uses a charging and discharging cycle with a thermal or latent heat storage subsystem.
