I notice this article doesn't talk about them, nor do they really fit the description given (given they are pistons which store kinetic energy from recoil and use it to return the barrel to the ready-to-fire position). Should a new section be added? Herr Gruber ( talk) 06:55, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
The posted image ( https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b1/Heat_exchanger.svg/400px-Heat_exchanger.svg.png) contains specific claims of efficiency for different recuperator configurations, but these claims do not seem to be supported by any cited sources. Should this image be removed from this, and possibly the Heat recovery ventilation and Countercurrent_exchange pages too? That would be a shame, because it's a very informative diagram, but may give very misleading information if incorrect. Billysugger ( talk) 19:06, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
I'd like to add that heat exchangers are not rated with efficiencies. Instead, effectiveness is the parameter describing the performance of a heat exchanger. These two terms have very specific definitions and cannot be used interchangeably. If the image is modified in the future, the term "efficiency" ought to be removed and replaced with "effictiveness". (We ought to still verify the effectivenesses of the configurations as listed in the table in agreement with the above talk page entry.) 128.101.142.152 ( talk) 19:57, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
In the Energy Transfer Process section of the article, we find (emphasis added):
However, the film of condensation will also slightly increase pressure drop through the device, and depending upon the spacing of the matrix material, this can increase resistance by up to 30%. If the unit is not laid to falls, and the condensate not allowed to drain properly, this will increase fan energy consumption and reduce the seasonal efficiency of the device.
I don't think I've ever encountered the term "laid to falls" before. Is it some sort of technical jargon? Can someone expand its meaning / link to an appropriate article? FeRDNYC ( talk) 10:35, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
