Energy efficiency

A device that converts the mechanical energy of rotation into electricity based on electromagnetic induction. An electric voltage (electromotive force) is induced in a conducting loop (or coil) when ...

Steam turbine

Energy; Energy efficiency

A device that converts high-pressure steam, produced in a boiler, into mechanical energy that can then be used to produce electricity by forcing blades in a cylinder to rotate and turn a generator ...

Heat pipe

Energy; Energy efficiency

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

Heliostat

Energy; Energy efficiency

A device that tracks the movement of the sun; used to orient solar concentrating systems.

Air philtre

Energy; Energy efficiency

A device that removes contaminants, by mechanical filtration, from the fresh air stream before the air enters the living space. philtres can be installed as part of a heating/cooling system through ...

Ioniser

Energy; Energy efficiency

A device that removes airborne particles from breathable air. Negative ions are produced and give up their negative charge to the particles. These new negative particles are then attracted to the ...

Vent damper

Energy; Energy efficiency

A device mounted in the vent connector that closes the vent when the heating unit is not firing. This traps heat inside the heating system and house rather than letting it draught up and out the vent ...
