Thermal load refers to the amount of heat energy that is added to or removed from a system. In buildings, thermal load is the amount of heat that must be added or removed to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature. In electronics, thermal load is the heat generated by components that must be managed to prevent overheating.

A variable spring hanger is typically used when thermal horizontal movement is a factor. These hangers offer constant support while allowing movement in multiple directions, accommodating thermal expansion and contraction in piping systems. They are designed to support the load while maintaining a consistent load capacity throughout the movement range.
Solar load refers to the amount of thermal energy that a building or structure receives from the sun. It can impact the temperature inside a building and affect the need for cooling or heating systems. Monitoring and managing solar load can help optimize energy efficiency and indoor comfort.
The opposite of thermal insulators are thermal conductors. Thermal conductors are materials that allow heat to transfer easily through them, while thermal insulators are materials that block the transfer of heat.
Thermal equilibrium?
Yes, solids do have thermal energy. This thermal energy is due to the movement of atoms and molecules within the solid. The amount of thermal energy a solid has is related to its temperature.
