Word Finder - radiators

definition

Anything which radiates or emits rays.

definition

A device that lowers engine coolant temperature by conducting heat to the air, through metal fins.

definition

(of buildings) A finned metal fixture that carries hot water or steam in order to heat a room.

definition

A type of antenna.

Owing to the very rapid movement and the consequent increased rate of transmission of heat, the pipes and radiators may be reduced in size, in many circumstances a very desirable thing to achieve.

Branches are taken off the flow pipe, and after circulating through coils or radiators are connected with the return pipe.

Radiators are fed directly from the main.

Ventilating radiators are similar, but have an inlet arrangement at the base to allow external air to pass over the heating surface before passing out through the perforations.

Gas and oil radiators would be more properly termed " convectors," since they warm mainly by convected currents.

A drawback to the use of steam is the fact that the high temperature of the pipes and radiators attracts and spreads a great deal of dust.

Radiators (really convectors) were in their primitive design coils of pipe, used to give a larger heating area than the single pipe would afford.

They are now usually of special design, and may be divided into three classes - indirect radiators, direct radiators and direct ventilating radiators.

Indirect radiators are placed beneath the floor of the apartment to be heated and give off heat through a grating.

Direct radiators are a development of the early coil of pipe; they are made in various types and designs and are usually of cast iron.

Radiators should not be fixed directly on to the main heating pipe, but always on branches of smaller diameter leading from the flow pipe to one end of the radiator and back to the main return pipe from the other end; they may then be easily controlled by a valve placed on the branch from the flow pipe.

The steam is employed for warming apartments by means of pipe radiators, for heating water by steam injections, and for all cooking purposes.

Electric-radiative circuits like thermal radiators are divided into two broad classes, good radiators and bad radiators.

When electric oscillations are set up in these two classes of electric radiators, the first class send out a highly damped wave train and the second a feeble damped wave train provided that they have sufficient capacity or energy storage and low resistance.

For purposes of theoretical discussions relating to moving radiators and reflectors, it is important to remember that the dynamics of all this theory of electrons involves the neglect of terms of the order (v/c) 2, not merely in the value of K but throughout.

Castings which, like hydraulic press cylinders and steam radiators, must be dense and hence must have but little graphite lest their contents leak through their walls, should not have more than 1.75% of silicon and may have even as little as 1% if impenetrability is so important that softness and consequent ease of machining must be sacrificed to it.

Among the city's manufactures are steel, engines, locomotives, radiators, shovels, bricks, flour, furniture and leather.

The good electric radiators may be compared with good thermal radiators, such as a vessel coated with lamp black on the outside, and the bad electric radiators to poor thermal radiators, such as a silver vessel highly polished on its exterior.

Fitted wooden bookcase to one side with encased radiators below.

They should not be stored near radiators, stoves, steam pipes or in areas subject to excessive heat or dampness.

The odd thing with radiators is that they are actually somewhat misnamed.

Midland Red from 1945 modernized the look of front engined busses by concealing the radiators.

Cold spots or constantly having to bleed the radiators.

Two traditional high-stand radiators with thermostatic controls, coved ceiling and center rose.

Fitted cupboard and shelves to chimney breast recesses, two radiators, picture rail, television aerial point.

All rooms have radiators with thermostatic radiator valves allowing you to adjust the temperature in each room.

Huntingdon's principal manufactures are stationery, flour, knitting-goods, furniture, boilers, radiators and sewer pipe.

A stove with a back-boiler to heat water and perhaps supply radiators could be all you need in a small home.

It is equipped with a gas central heating system with individual thermostats on radiators.

Chrome towel warmer radiators will be fitted in the bathroom and master bedroom en suite.

To save money on heating bills and create a more functional heating system in your home, convert old radiators to new radiant floor heating.

Old radiators were one of the most efficient forms of heating at the time they were created.

Air trapped inside these old radiators causes them to bang and clank.

To stop the clanking, you'll need to periodically bleed the radiators, releasing the air inside.

Radiators were frequently installed on only one zone, which meant you had to physically shut off a radiator at its base to avoid heating an unoccupied room.

Radiators are frequently installed right next to a window, which means a lot of your heat is going straight outdoors.

Old radiators were typically painted to help blend them into the rest of the home.

To convert old radiators to new radiant floor heating, you will need to hire a skilled contractor.

Luckily, the same pipes and tubes that carry your hot water to the radiators can be used to carry the hot water to the radiant heating system.

You will need to have your flooring replaced at the same time; the damage done removing the old radiators and installing the new tubing isn't something you want to patch.

Converting old radiators to new radiant floor heating is a major undertaking, but one that will make your heating system much more energy efficient.

To study history, parents and children are instructed to examine many of the items and happenings in the story that are no longer common, such as steam radiators and the old-fashioned ambulance.

DeLonghi produces oil filled radiators, fan, ceramic, convector, radiant, and gas heaters.

Fireplace heat and radiators can dry it out.

In 1925, sales of the MG spiked and required the company to start producing the cars in the same facility where the Morris radiators were made.

To obtain a larger heating surface than a pipe affords, radiators are connected with the pipes where desired, and the water passing through them warms the surrounding air.

To regulate the heat it is necessary either to instal a number of small radiators or to divide the radiators into sections, each section controlled by distinct valves; steam may then be admitted to all the sections of the radiator or to any less number of sections as desired.
