Heat Technologies By: Roxie Anderson
Heating Systems • Utility to warm a building Examples: • Air-conditioning (AC.) • Solar panels
Cooling Systems • Equipment that has the power to cool an engine down Examples: • HAVC Systems
Heat Engines • A mechanical device to transform part of the heat entering it into work. Examples: • Refrigerator • Otto cycle • Diesel engine
Heat Pollution • Industrial discharge of heated water into a near by river or lake causing a rise in temperature in the water Damaging Effects: • Smog • Air pollution
