| district heating The supply of heat, either in the form of steam or hot water, from a central source to a group of buildings | 区域供热 (从中央能源以蒸汽或者热水的形式为一组建筑供给热能。) |
| district heating plant Plant for heating all houses in a district; it consists of a large, efficient, centralized boiler plant or "waste" steam from a power station. The heat is distributed by means of low-pressure steam or high-temperature water to the consumers | 区域性供热厂 (在一个区域中给所有住户提供暖气的工厂；它是由一个大型、高效的中央锅炉车间组成，或是利用发电厂的废蒸气。热气经由低压蒸汽或高温热水传送至消费者。) |
| heat and power station Power station which produces both electricity and hot water for the local population. A CHP (Combined Heat and Power Station) plant may operate on almost any fuel, including refuse | 汽电共生厂 (为当地居民供应电力和热水的能量站。一个(结合热和电能)的电厂可使用任何形式的能源而运转，包括垃圾。) |
| heat-exposed site | 曝热生境指受热晒的生境 |
| heat pump A device which transfers heat from a cooler reservoir to a hotter one, expending mechanical energy in the process, especially when the main purpose is to heat the hot reservoir rather than refrigerate the cold one | 热泵 (一种由温度较低的储槽将热量传送到温度较高的热源的装置，在传递过程中消耗机械能，特别是在主要目的是升温而非降温时消耗的机械能更多。) |
| heat regulation | 温度调节 |
| heat-resistant desert | 抗热荒漠 |
| heat storage Keeping heat created during a period of low consumption until a peak period when it is needed | 热储存 (在需热较少的时期贮存产生的热量，以备在需热高峰期使用。) |
| heat supply The provision of heating fuel, coal or other heating source materials, or the amount of heating capacity, for the use of a municipality, or other heat user | 热供应、供热 (用于全市居民或其他热能使用者的加热燃料、煤或其他加热资源的供应，或加热的最大能量。) |
| heating plant Plant for producing and supplying heat | 供热工厂 (产生和供应热能的工厂。) |
| local heat supply The provision of heating fuel, coal or other heating source materials, or the amount of heating capacity, for the use of a specific local community | 地方供热 (为一个具体的地方社区使用的，取暖燃料、煤或其他加热源材料的提供，或总体供热的能力。) |
| municipal heating network System of heating all houses in a urban district from a central source (as from hot springs in Iceland or by cooling water from a power station) | 市政供热网络 (通过中央热源(如冰岛温泉或电站冷却水)而供热市区内所有房屋的系统。) |
| power-heat relation The ratio of the work done by an engine to the heat supplied | 电源热关系 (由一个引擎提供的按比例的热量供给。) |
| radiation heat | 辐射热 |
| solar heating A domestic or industrial heating system that makes direct use of solar energy. The simplest form consists of a collector through which a fluid is pumped. The circuit also contains some form of heat storage tank and an alternative energy source to provide energy when the sun is not shining. The collector usually consists of a black surface through which water is piped, the black surface being enclosed behind glass sheets to make use of the greenhouse effect | 太阳能采暖 (直接使用太阳能的家庭或工业加热系统。最简单的形式包括通过流体泵收集。该电路还包含了一些热储藏罐的形式和当太阳不发光时用于提供能量的备用能源。收集器通常由黑色表面的水通过管道组成，黑色表面附在玻璃板上产生温室效应。) |
| waste heat Heat derived from the cooling process of electric power generating plants and which can cause thermal pollution of water courses, promoting algal bloom | 余热 (来自于电力发电厂冷却过程中的热量，它可以造成水道的热污染，引发赤潮。) |
| waste heat charge The release of heat generated as a byproduct from industrial or power generation processes | 余热释放 (作为工业或发电过程中的副产品而产生的热量释放。) |
| waste heat utilisation Waste heat applications include space heating and refrigeration in urban areas, thawing of ice-bound seaways, agricultural use to stimulate growth and to extend the growing season and in aquaculture to stimulate the growth of algae, shellfish, and other potential marine food sources | 余热利用 (余热的应用，包括城市地区的空间加热和制冷、解冻冰封航道、农业方面的运用以刺激生长和延长生长季节、以及水产业中的应用以刺激藻类、贝类及其它潜在海洋食物资源的生长。) |
| waste-fed heating plant Heating plant where fuel is provided from refuse | 废料燃料供热厂 (从废料中提取燃料的暖气生产厂。) |
