Thermal efficiency definition

Thermal efficiency means the useful electric energy output of a
Thermal efficiency means the useful electric energy output of a facility, plus the useful thermal energy output of the facility, expressed as a percentage of the total energy input to the facility.
Thermal efficiency of a pool heater means a measure of the percentage of heat from the input that is transferred to the water, as determined using the applicable test method in Section 1604(g).

Examples of Thermal efficiency in a sentence

  • Thermal efficiency is influenced primarily by the increase in pressure experienced by the air as it travels through the compressor, and by the temperature of the gas stream as it enters the turbine.

  • It is the ratio of heat actually released by 1 kg of fuel to heat that would be released by complete perfect combustion.8. Thermal efficiency.

  • Thermal efficiency coefficient indicates the share of the energy products which is actually usable for end consumption.

  • Potential of membrane distillation in seawater desalination: Thermal efficiency, sensitivity study and cost estimation.

  • Thermal Efficiency12: Thermal efficiency (TE) is the ratio of the heat transferred to the water flowing through the water heater to the amount of energy consumed by the water heater.


More Definitions of Thermal efficiency

Thermal efficiency of a water heater means a measure of the percentage of heat from the combustion of gas or oil that is transferred to the water, as determined using the applicable test method in Section 1604(f).
Thermal efficiency of a space heater means a measure of the percentage of heat from the combustion of gas or oil that is transferred to the space being heated, or in the case of a boiler, to the hot water or steam, as determined using the applicable test methods in Section 1604(e).
Thermal efficiency of a space heater means a measure of the percentage of heat from the combustion of gas or oil that is transferred to the space being heated, or in the case of a boiler, to the hot water or steam, as determined using the applicable test methods in section 1604(e) of this Article. Thermal efficiency of a commercial warm air furnace equals 100 percent minus percent flue loss, as determined using test procedures prescribed under 10 C.F.R. section 431.76.
Thermal efficiency means the useful electricity output of an electric generating unit, plus the useful thermal energy output of the electric generating unit, expressed as a percentage of the total heat input to the electric generating unit. For purposes of N.J.A.C. 7:27D-3, thermal efficiency is based on the lower heating value of the fuel used by an electric generating unit.
Thermal efficiency means the ratio of useable heat energy output to energy input. The thermal efficiency must be calculated in accordance with:
Thermal efficiency means the thermal efficiency of the Facility calculated according to the formula described in Schedule "C" of this Certificate.
Thermal efficiency means the fraction of the total energy input which is transformed into net useful energy output, usually expressed as a percentage on a lower heating value basis, calculated according to the formula described in Schedule "B" of this Certificate.
