heating medium

Therefore, condensing steam is commonly used as a heating medium.

Behind the plates are reversing chambers for the cooling or heating medium.

In the majority of applications the heating medium is placed on the outside of the tubes.

The heating section contains the heating medium, which can vary.

The augers themselves frequently contain passages for the heating medium to increase the heat transfer surface area.

This gain in velocity is attributed to the vapor being evolved against the heating medium, which flows downward as well.

Fouling also occurs when hard deposits form on the surfaces of the heating mediums in the evaporators.

A second shell is installed over a portion of the vessel, creating an annular space within which cooling or heating medium flows.

It can be desirable to have the food come in contact with the heating medium, as the medium itself can be an ingredient (for example, butter).

Steam heating systems are similar to heating water systems, except steam is used as the heating medium instead of water.

Evaporation takes place at very low mean temperature differences between heating medium and process stream, typically between 3 - 6K, therefore these devices are ideal for heat recovery in multi stage processes.

The large value of the enthalpy of condensation of water vapor is the reason that steam is a far more effective heating medium than boiling water, and is more hazardous.

At Thomas Keller's The French Laundry restaurant, their lobster tails are cooked in a sous vide cooker filled with beurre monté (a butter specially prepared to withstand higher heat) as their heating medium.

Since the pressure increase of the vapor also generates an increase in the condensation temperature, the same vapor can serve as the heating medium for its "mother" liquid or solution being concentrated, from which the vapor was generated to begin with.

VRF uses refrigerant as the cooling and heating medium, and allows one outdoor condensing unit to be connected to multiple indoor fan-coil units (FCUs), each individually controllable by its user, while modulating the amount of refrigerant being sent to each evaporator.

In the pseudoscience of alchemy, sublimation was used to refer to the process in which a substance is heated to a vapor, then immediately collects as sediment on the upper portion and neck of the heating medium (typically a retort or alembic), but can also be used to describe other similar non-laboratory transitions.
