heating medium

A heating medium is a substance that is used to transfer heat from a heater (such as a boiler, heat pump, or solar system) to heating elements (such as radiators or underfloor heating) in heating systems. Its task is to transfer heat from the…

Heating output

Heating output (often also called thermal output) is a physical quantity that indicates the amount of heat that can be produced or transferred by a heating device, such as a heater, heat pump, boiler or electric heater. This quantity is…

Heating rod

A heating rod is an electrical device used to generate heat. This element is often used in various heating devices, such as water heaters, radiators or dryers. Its main function is to transform electrical energy into heat, which is then…

heating system

Each central heating system consists of a heat source, a characteristic pipe system for heat distribution and a heating element. Special heating systems consist of a heat source and a heating element, which are built into one device and are located…

Heavy metals

Heavy metals are metallic elements with increased density and weight that occur naturally in the earth. Some of them are essential for the normal functioning of organisms in very small amounts, such as iron, zinc, copper, manganese and others.…

HEPA filter

A HEPA filter is a type of air filter. Its name is an acronym from the English high efficiency particulate arrestance, i.e. a highly efficient filter of air particles. This type of air filter is able to remove particles with a size of 300 nanometers…
