A heat exchanger intended to be installed in a chimney connector between a heating appliance and the chimney to transfer heat from the flue gases through metal to air or water.
Industry:Fire safety
A heat exchanger that uses a series of heat transfer sections (e.g., superheater, evaporator, and economizer) positioned in the exhaust gas flow of a combustion turbine to recover heat and supply a rated steam flow at a required temperature and pressure.
Industry:Fire safety
A heated vaporizer in which the heat source is integral to the actual vaporizing exchanger (including submerged combustion vaporizers).
Industry:Fire safety
A heated vaporizer in which the primary heat source is separated from the actual vaporizing exchanger, and an intermediate fluid (e.g., water, steam, isopentane, glycol) is used as the heat transport medium.
Industry:Fire safety
A heater that directs a substantial amount of its energy output in the form of infrared energy into the area to be heated. Such heaters may be of either the vented or unvented type.
Industry:Fire safety
A heating appliance chimney suitable for continuous use at 1000°F (538°C), composed of listed, factory-built components, designed for open, non-enclosed use at specified minimum clearances to combustibles, and assembled in accordance with the terms of its listing to form the completed chimney.
Industry:Fire safety
A heating appliance designed specifically for installation in an attic or in a space with low headroom that normally is unoccupied.
Industry:Fire safety
A heating appliance intended for installation in the space being heated and not intended for duct connection.
Industry:Fire safety
A heating process in which an ionized gas, such as nitrogen or argon, is used to conduct electrical current.
