The range burners or stove top and the oven are considered two separate appliances. Counted also with range tops are stand-alone "cook tops."
Industry:Energy
A collector that generally operates at temperatures above 180 degrees Fahrenheit.
Industry:Energy
Reserves and production that are not separable by FERC production areas or by states. Undifferentiated and unspecified reserves consist only of company-owned gas in underground storage.
Industry:Energy
The thermodynamic cycle that is an ideal standard for comparing performance of heat-engines, steam power plants, steam turbines, and heat pump systems that use a condensable vapor as the working fluid. Efficiency is measured as work done divided by sensible heat supplied.
Industry:Energy
A collector that generally operates at temperatures below 110 degrees Fahrenheit. Typically, it has no glazing or insulation and is made of plastic or rubber, although some are made of metal.
Industry:Energy
Those economic resources of crude oil and natural gas, yet undiscovered, that are estimated to exist in favorable geologic settings.
Industry:Energy
The initial amount of money spent to acquire an asset. It is equal to the price paid, or present value ofthe liability incurred, or fair value of stock issued, plus normal incidental costs necessary to put the asset into its initial use.
Industry:Energy
The Rankine cycle system uses a liquid that evaporates when heated and expands to produce work, such as turning a turbine, which when connected to a generator, produces electricity. The exhaust vapor expelled from the turbine condenses and the liquid is pumped back to the boiler to repeat the cycle. The working fluid most commonly used is water, though other liquids can also be used. Rankine cycle design is used by most commercial electric power plants. The traditional steam locomotive is also a common form of the Rankine cycle engine. The Rankine engine itself can be either a piston engine or a turbine.
Industry:Energy
A collector that generally operates at temperatures of 140 degrees F to180 degrees Fahrenheit, but can also operate at temperatures as low as 110 degrees Fahrenheit. Typically, it has one or two glazings, a metal frame, a metal absorption panel with integral flow channels or attached tubing (liquid collector) or with integral ducting (air collector) and insulation on the sides and back of the panel.
