Resource summary
Heating systems and tecnologies
Thermostates
thermostats help keep us alive in Canada, thermo meaning heat and state meaning maintain ex.. furnace engines, fridge's, and hot tubs
thermostats work cause they have a strip made of 2 different types of medal called a bimetallic strip
when heated it will bend cause one metal will expand faster than the other as it bends and unbends it controls a heat regulating device
Types
local heating provides heating for only one room like fire places wood burning stoves
central heating comes from a single source like a furnace and is transferred through a network of pipes or vents it is called forced air
another central heating is hot water heating that is more common in older houses
Keeping cool
thermal energy can keep cold too ex air conditioners they work by removing heat from a room
basic parts are a storage tank, a compressor a freezer unit, condenser coils and a refrigerant
A refrigerant is used to transfer warm air tocool air condenser coils take the warmer air vapor and cool it to a liquid
