How is heat generated to heat a room?
Speaking of “generation” or “production” of heat can be thermodynamically equivocal: heat is nothing more than thermal energy , so it is not generated but can be exchanged between two fluids at different temperatures. The flow of heat always goes from the fluid with a higher temperature to that with a lower temperature, in compliance with the two principles of thermodynamics electrical repairs in Rapid City.
There are therefore three thermal energy exchange mechanisms :
Conduction : heat exchange between two bodies at different temperatures, without moving molecules, the energy is transmitted by direct contact ;
Convection : heat exchange between fluids, mostly used in heat generators and in emission terminals with environment to be heated; occurs with displacement of molecules of the fluids of interest ;
Radiation : the heat is radiated by a radiant body towards the colder surrounding environment;
With regard to convection fluids, however, we have already had the opportunity to explain that direct expansion machines are always powered by a heat pump and, in most cases, generate both heat and cold.
We hope that this overview has helped you to learn more about systems which, like thermal ones, play a decisive role in the psycho-physical well-being of people living in a certain environment , in residential buildings and in the workplace. Which heating system to choose then ? With greater awareness of the various types, you will be able to deal more easily with your trusted technicians: the final decision, in fact, always depends on the type of environment to be heated, on its size, on the physical and geometric characteristics of the building and on the destination of the ‘use. We help you here to make a brief evaluation.
Solar energy systems require a lot of space, especially for the panels. Air systems , in the same way, are invasive and are almost never suitable systems for a residential environment. Radiant panel systems , whether they are floor, wall, baseboard or ceiling, require real masonry work, but it is a choice to consider if you are planning a complete renovation of the environment. If, on the other hand, you already have an electric stove and are thinking of disconnecting from the gas supply, you can consider installing a generator such as the heat pump.
