Comb in heating systems (definition)

A comb in heating systems is an element of a distribution system designed to organize uniform distribution of the coolant (usually hot water) across various heating circuits or areas of a building. It is a multi-branch tube or collector with openings (outlets) through which the coolant is supplied to heating devices such as radiators or heated floors. Comb: main components and operating principle […]

Circulation pump (definition)

A circulation pump is a device designed to move liquid through a pipeline system or circuit, ensuring the circulation of the coolant at the required speed in heating, air conditioning, hot water supply and other technical systems, ensuring uniform distribution of the boiler's thermal energy through the heating circuits. It provides temperature control of the liquid being moved; three- and four-way […]

Solar collector (definition)

A solar collector is a device designed to convert solar energy into thermal energy, used to heat water, air or other coolants. Solar collectors are widely used in hot water supply, heating and air conditioning systems, as well as in industrial processes requiring thermal energy. Although a solar collector uses the sun's energy for heating, the technology is significantly different from […]

Buffer capacity (definition)

A buffer tank is a device designed to accumulate and store excess thermal energy in heating, cooling and hot water supply systems. The main function of the buffer tank is to smooth out fluctuations in temperature and pressure of the coolant, which increases the efficiency and stability of the system. The main components and principle of operation of the buffer tank: The body is a sealed container made of material resistant to […]

Heat exchanger (definition)

A heat exchanger is a device designed to transfer heat between two media without mixing them. The main function of the design is to efficiently transfer thermal energy from one medium to another. Heat exchangers are widely used in various technical systems such as heating, air conditioning, refrigeration, industrial processes and heat supply. The efficiency of a heat exchange circuit depends on the heat exchange area. The main components […]

Automatic air vent (definition)

An automatic air vent is a device used in heating, ventilation and water supply systems to remove air from pipes and radiators. Its main function is to automatically remove accumulated air from the system, which helps prevent air locks and improves the efficiency of the system. Automatic air vent: main components and operating principle Housing with internal mechanism - inside the housing […]

Four way valve (definition)

A four-way valve is a device used in various technical systems such as heating, ventilation, air conditioning and industrial processes to control the flow of a liquid or gas between four different points or directions. It is a valve with four holes and an internal mechanism (usually a ball or dial) that allows the flow to be adjusted or switched depending on […]

Collector (definition)

A manifold in heating systems is the central element of an engineering system used to distribute the heat carrier (usually hot water or steam) between individual heat consumers in a building. It is a multi-circuit pipeline system in which each branch is connected to a separate heat-emitting element (radiator, heated floor, etc.). They ensure uniform heat distribution, temperature control in various […]

Boiler safety group for heating systems

The boiler safety group for heating systems is a set of devices and fittings designed to ensure safe and reliable operation of heating systems, especially when they use closed systems with heated carriers. It includes various elements such as valves, pressure gauges, automatic condensate drains and expansion tanks that prevent overheating, pressure drops and other emergency […]

Hydraulic arrow (definition)

A hydraulic arrow is a hydraulic device used to regulate and control pressure in heating systems, water supply, drainage and other engineering systems. It consists of a special valve or device that automatically regulates the flow of fluid depending on the set pressure. The hydraulic arrow ensures stable pressure in the system, prevents fluctuations and controls fluid flow for optimal operation of utility networks. Basic […]
