Pipes central heating

There are also provisions in section 601-04 relating to supplementary equipotential bonding. This requires the terminals of protective conductors associated with Class I and Class II equipment in Zones 1, 2 and 3 to be connected together and for them to be connected to extraneous conductive parts on those zones. The latter parts are listed as including metallic items such as service pipes (gas, water and so on), waste pipes, central heating pipes, air conditioning duct work, accessible structural parts of buildings, and baths and shower basins. 

Rigid polyurethane pipe construction - CFCs in this application are being replaced by carbon dioxide/water, HCFC-22, blends of HCFC-22 and -142b, HCFC-141b, and pentanes. Long-term alternatives will include HFCs and carbon dioxide/water. For district central heating pipes, pentane and carbon dioxide/water are the preferred technologies. 

This third and last section of Approved Document L is not intended to apply to storage and piping systems for commercial and industrial processes. It concerns only the central heating and the domestic hot water supply of all buildings. The standards are presented in three sections for ... 

As an alternative option, the insulation should meet the recommendations of BS 5422 1977. This Standard tabulates thicknesses of insulation too numerous to mention here, according to whether (1) the pipes carry central heating or domestic hot water, (2) the system is heated by gas and oil or solid fuel, (3) the water temperature is 75°C, 100°C or 150°C and (4) the thermal conductivity of the insulant is 0.04, 0.55 or 0.70 W/mK at the appropriate mean temperature. 

In de-aerated conditions, for instance in most central heating systems, little if any attack on copper occurs . As far as drinking waters are concerned, copper is not classified as a toxic substance or hazardous to health. To avoid any difficulties due to unpalatability, the maximum continuous copper content should not exceed 10 p.p.m., with a limit of 3 p.p.m. in water after standing overnight in copper pipes. A review of the subject by Grunau makes reference to 394 published papers. 

The first cost of this system is expected to be higher than the distributed water loop heat pump system. Addition of a central heat pump and separate piping for hot and cold water should result in higher first cost. 

Degradation due to thermal cycling, discussed in Section 4.2, can be considered as fatigue in the long term and can be an important consideration with such products as central heating pipes. A standard method for these is included in BS 7291 [5], where the accelerating factors are temperature and the frequency of cycling... 

Central Heating System - A system where heat is supplied to areas of a building from a single appliance through a network of ducts or pipes. 

For work with the Mg and Zn vapors, uniform vapor densities resulting in stable VUV emissions are obtained over periods of several hours with the use of double heat-pipe ovens while the heat-pipe oven for Hg vapor (Fig. 9) is a simple cell of pyrex glass. Liquid Hg and its vapor are confined to the central heated section by water-cooled jackets at each end which are tapered to return condensed Hg back to the hot zone. For generation of VUV radiation from 126 to 104.5 nm, a LiF plate a O.5 mn thick forms the exit window, and a vapor pressure of up to 95 torr is used with an equal pressure of He buffer gas. For XUV generation, X <... 

In turbulent flow conditions, both rigid and flexible macromolecules diluted solutions exhibit drag reduction, which was described for the first time by Toms (25) and often reviewed since [Hoyt (26), Berman (27), Virk (28)]. Many practical applications have been proposed for this effect increase of the range of water-hose nozzles, better efficiency of fluidized beds and central heating, increase of the flow rate in pipe lines, increase of the speed of torpedos etc... But the fundamental origin(s) of drag reduction is still debated. 

Extraneous conductive parts are the other metal parts which do not form a part of the electrical installation the structural steelwork of the building, gas, water and central heating pipes and radiators,...

Local supplementary equipotential bonding (lEE Regulation 701.415.2) must be provided to all gas, water and central heating pipes in addition, to metallic baths, unless the following two requirements are both met. 

Most gas central heating works on the wet system of heat transfer between water flowing through pipes. A typical system includes a boiler, a network of pipes, a feed, and expansion tank, radiators, and a hot water storage system.

Nuclear heat from the reactor core is removed passively by a lead-bismuth eutectic alloy coolant [XXIX-4], which flows due to natural circulation between the bottom and top plenums, upward through the fuel tubes and returning through the downcomer tubes. On top of the upper plenum, the reactor has multi-layer heat utilization vessels to provide an interface to systems for high temperature heat applications. A set of sodium heat pipes is in the upper plenum of the reactor to passively transfer heat from the upper plenum to the heat utilization vessels with a minimum drop of temperature. Another set of heat pipes transfers heat from the upper plenum to the atmospheric air in the case of a postulated accident. To shut down the reactor, a set of seven shut-off rods has been provided, which fall by gravity in the central seven coolant channels. Appropriate instmmentation like neutron detectors, fission/ ion chambers, various sensors and auxiliary systems such as a cover gas system, purification systems, active interventions etc. are being incorporated in the design as necessary. 

Where other potential metallic conductors exist near to electrical conductors in a building, they must be connected to the main earth terminal to ensure equipo-tential bonding of all conductors to earth. This applies to gas, water and central heating pipes and other devices such as lightning protection systems. Supplementary bonding is required in bathrooms and kitchens where, for example, metal sinks and other metallic equipment surfaces are present. This involves the connection of a conductor from the sink to a water supply pipe which has been earthed by equipotential bonding. There have been several fatalities due to electric shocks from live service pipes or kitchen sinks. 

No open or closed water circuit is homogeneous in terms of materials, i.e. contains only components in aluminium or in stainless steel or cuprous alloys. Materials for the components of a circuit are selected according to feasibility, cost and availability criteria. For radiators of a central heating installation in aluminium alloy, the boiler may be in stainless steel, the pumps in stainless steel or cuprous alloys, and the piping in ordinary steel or copper. The same applies to water distribution circuits.
