Higher Heating Value definition

Higher Heating Value means the high or gross heat content of the fuel with the heat of vaporization included (the water vapor is assumed to be in a liquid state).
Higher Heating Value or "HHV" means the total heat liberated per mass of fuel burned (Btu/lb), when fuel and dry air at standard conditions undergo complete combustion and all resultant products are brought to their standard states at standard conditions.
Higher Heating Value or “HHV” means the total heat content, expressed in Btus per cubic foot (Btu/ft3), produced by the complete combustion of 1 cubic foot of Gas at a temperature of 60º Fahrenheit with the Gas free of water vapor and at a pressure of 14.73 pounds per square inch absolute with the products of combustion to be cooled to the initial temperature of the Gas and the water formed by the combustion reaction condensed to the liquid state.

Examples of Higher Heating Value in a sentence

  • Xxxxx Index means the Higher Heating Value divided by the square root of the relative density of the gas, both measured at the same time.


More Definitions of Higher Heating Value

Higher Heating Value means the gross amount of heat energy (measured in megajoules) produced by the complete combustion of one Cubic Metre of dry Gas with air of the same temperature and pressure, when the products of combustion are cooled to the initial temperature of the Gas and air and when all water formed by combustion is condensed to the liquid state, corrected to a water - vapour free basis and expressed at MSC, and determined using ISO 6974 for the analysis of natural Gas and using ISO 6976 for the calculations from that analysis.
Higher Heating Value means the total heat liberated per mass of fuel burned (British thermal unit per pound), when fuel and dry air at standard conditions undergo complete combustion and all resulting products are brought to their standard states at standard conditions. “Gross heating value” shall have the same meaning as “higher heating value.”
Higher Heating Value means the total heat obtained from the complete combustion of a fuel which is at 60 degrees Fahrenheit when combustion begins, and the combustion products of which are cooled to 60 degrees Fahrenheit before the quantity of heat released is measured.
Higher Heating Value means the amount of heat produced by the complete combustion of a unit quantity of fuel.
Higher Heating Value means the superior (higher) real calorific value as described in ISO: 6976:1995 (E) of one Cubic Meter of Natural Gas at the reference condition of 15/15 Degrees Celsius and 1.01325 Bar (a) for the actual natural gas in the real state.
Higher Heating Value or HHV means the amount of heat released by a specified quantity of fuel once it is combusted and the products have returned to the initial temperature of the fuel, which takes into account the latent heat of vaporization of water in the combustion products.
Higher Heating Value means the Btu content or specific higher heating value of RDF derived from On-Site Waste, as determined by using the combustion system of the Facility as a calorimeter in accordance with a method to be agreed upon by the County and the Company.
