Industry:Energy
The radiation in that portion of the electromagnetic spectrum between visible light and radio waves, originating from either incandescent or non-incandescent hot bodies or from flames. The energy is utilized as a means of direct heat transfer from the source to the object or objects to be heated without materially heating the intervening air.
Industry:Energy
A characteristic of the variety of gas loads whereby individual maximum demands usually occur at different times. Therefore, the maximum coincident load of a group of individual loads is less than the sum of the individual maximum loads. Diversity among customers' loads results in a diversity among the loads of distribution mains and regulators as well as between entire systems. Compare LOAD DIVERSITY.
Industry:Energy
A heating system in which water having supply temperature above 350 degrees Fahrenheit is used as a medium to convey heat from a central boiler, through a piping system, to the heating units.
Industry:Energy
A ratio of the size of a gas and/or oil field to the annual production capacity of that field which is used to estimate the productive life of the field.
Industry:Energy
An apparatus which converts the energy in a fluid to mechanical energy by means of the expansion of the fluid (gas) against a piston. It normally includes a cylinder closed by a piston connected by means of a connecting rod to a crankshaft; a valve mechanism admits and discharges fluid at appropriate times in the cycle. Compare TURBINE, STEAM OR GAS.
Industry:Energy
For purposes of the CURRENT ADJUSTMENT, a method of computing a pipeline's average projected purchased gas costs derived by dividing the pipeline's total projected purchased gas costs the pipeline anticipates purchasing during the PGA effective period by the quantities of gas the pipeline anticipates selling during the PGA effective period.
Industry:Energy
Pipe that is formed and then expanded in the pipe mill while cold so that the circumference is permanently increased by at least 1/2 percent and tensile strength is increased.
