Why is there an electric heating coil in a heat pump?
Heat pumps don't work well when the temperature outside drops below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. The way a heat pump works is by absorbing heat from outside and moving inside using the refrigerant. Much like an air conditioner absorbs the heat from inside of your home and moves it out. Therefore the colder it is outside the less heat a heat pump can produce. The reason they install electric heat strips is to ensure that when the temperature outside gets below 40 you will still have enough heat available to heat the property.
How much electricity is required to produce 1kg of aluminum from alumina?
440 tones
What happens when too much electrical current passes through the metal strip on a fuse?
It will burn out.
Air conditioner blows circuit breaker when heating?
If you have a heat pump and the breaker blows in heat cycle then you probably also have auxiliary electric heat which is drawing too much current because of a faulty heater element.
A device that contains a thin strip of metal that will melt if there is too much current through it is called?
a fuse
How does a metal halide ballast work?
A metal halide ballast works just by transforming the line voltage into much more useful voltage to the metal halide, and by regulating the current so that the bulb will have its useful life at the most.
How much does it cost a month to run metal halide lights for fish tanks?
100 rupees
Can a 400 watt high pressure sodium bulb be used in a 400 watt metal halide ballast?
I actually have a 400w hps ballast and I can also use my 400w metal halide bulb in it with no problem. So what your saying is they do, but they dont? the answer is, they dont. You can get universal bulbs hps to plug into a mh ballast they have a miniturized igniter inside the bulb. As I understand it, a 400W metal halide bulb can be used with a 400W hps ballast, but not the converse. A MH bulb has the igniter in the bulb, and the HPS has it in the ballast--which pretty much goes along with your comment above. Apparently the double presence of the igniter in the HPS setup is OK.you can run metal halide in same wattage's but not hps in metal halide systems.you can run such as (same wattage's)250 watt metal halide-400 watt halide ect in hps systems but not hps bulbs in halide systems. they make conversion bulbs to run halide in hps as well and vice versa.
What kind of animal does not produce much internal heat?
Cold-blooded animals do not produce much body heat. Most do not produce any at all.
How much heat can aluminum metal stand?
how much heat can aluminum withstand
Does a lighter produce as much heat as a soldering iron?
No, lighter can produce 120 degree Celsius temperature where as soldering iron can produce 420 degree Celsius temperature. the soldering iron is used to join two metal wires.
How much heat does the sun produce?
700c-1500c
How much heat do cell phones produce?
enough.
If a student was transferring metal to a calorimeter and water splashes out will it affect the specific heat of the metal?
yes, if there is not enough water the heat will be affected because not as much heat can be held.
What would be the cost of operating 60 1000watt Metal Halide lamps for 10 hr?
To find out the cost of operating 60 1000watt Metal Halide lamps for 10 hours, you multiply the amount of power (in kilowatts) by time and hours. That will give you kWh (kilowatt hours), then you find out how much your power costs in $/kWh, then divide the kilowatt hours you are using by the cost ($/kWh).
How much heat is necessary to raise the temperature of a 15 g metal from 15 C to 25 C?
The answer will depend on the thermal capacity or heat capacity of the metal.
How much will a metal pipe expand in heat?
This is different for different metals.
