A self-contained, unvented, portable heater intended for temporary use during construction, sometimes called a salamander.
Industry:Energy
The ratio of the sum of the non-coincident maximum demands of two or more loads to their coincident maximum demands for the same period. Compare COINCIDENCE FACTOR.
Industry:Energy
The ratio of the theoretical work requirement (using a stated process) to the actual work required to compress a given quantity of gas. It accounts for the gas friction losses, internal leakage and other variations from the idealized thermodynamic process.
Industry:Energy
A liquid containing lower boiling aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons which may be found in natural gas production, transmission, and distribution pipelines. Condensation to a liquid phase is induced by the higher pressure and lower temperature conditions in the pipeline.
Industry:Energy
Gas purchased by gas distributors from gas pipelines. The term is usually used by natural gas distributors to distinguish gas they purchased from pipelines from gas they purchased directly from producers and had transported.
Industry:Energy
A liquid similar to conventional crude oil but obtained from oil shale by conversion of organic matter (kerogen) in oil shale.
Industry:Energy
The drilling and related activities necessary to begin production after the initial discovery of oil or gas in a reservoir.
Industry:Energy
A colorless hydrocarbon gas of slight odor having a gross heating value of 1,604 Btu per cubic foot and a specific gravity of 0.9740. It is usually present in manufactured gas, constituting one of its elements.
Industry:Energy
A colorless hydrocarbon gas of slight odor having a gross heating value of 1,773 Btu per cubic foot and a specific gravity of 1.0488. It is a normal constituent of natural gas.
Industry:Energy
The ratio of the weight of water vapor in the atmosphere to the weight the air would hold if completely saturated at that temperature, expressed as a percentage.
