| flow capacity (of a filter) |
refrigerant gas flow that a filter passes while
maintaining a specified pressure drop across the clean filter. The flow
capacity is expressed in lb/min (g/s) flow at a specified evaporator
temperature and return gas temperature for the given refrigerant. |
| | |
| flow nozzle | tube specially shaped to increase the discharge
velocity of the fluid. |
| | |
| flow pattern | configuration of the direction and velocity of a
flowing fluid |
| | |
| flow velocity |
velocity (local or average) of a fluid in a
pipe, duct, or canal, or from an orifice. |
| | |
| flue | 1.
passage through which flue gases pass from a combustion chamber to the outside
atmosphere.
2.
conduit between the flue outlet of the furnace and the integral draft diverter,
draft hood, barometric draft regulator, vent terminal, or any other point of
draft relief. |
| | |
| flue collar |
that portion of an appliance designed for
attachment of a chimney, vent connector, or a draft hood. |
| | |
| flue gas collector |
chamber designed to capture the products of
combustion and accompanying excess air.
|
| | |
| flue gas receptor location |
any point (e.g., an openable window, an occupied
terrace) at which a person in a nearby building can become exposed to flue
gases emanating from a chimney. Receptor locations include intakes of
air-conditioning and ventilating systems. |
| | |
| flue gas vent |
conduit or passageway for conveying flue gases
to the outer air. |
| | |
| flue outlet | opening provided in an appliance for the release
of flue gases |
