In an angle valve, the medium (e.g. heating water) flows at right angles. This means that the direction of flow at the inlet of the valve is different to that at the outlet. (see figure 1). The situation is different with a straight-way valve. An angle valve can be a...

Also referred to as second-law efficiency or exergetic efficiency. The quality grade of a heat pump describes the ratio between the actual Coefficient of Performance (COP) a heat pump achieves in practice and the theoretical maximum possible Carnot COP. It shows how...
With a straight-way valve, the medium (e.g. heating water) flows in the same direction at the inlet of the valve as at the outlet of the valve (see Figure 1). The situation is different with an angle valve. A globe valve can be a radiator valve, for example, which is...
