The temperature at which the maximum thermal energy a heat pump is able to provide to a house exactly matches the thermal losses of the house through walls, windows, etc.
A point on a cue, on which the cue will remain balanced if held horizontally.
the point at which the shaft of a club balances when placed on a fulcrum (a finger, for example).
An outdoor temperature, usually 20 to 45 degrees Fahrenheit, at which a heatpump's output equals the heating demand. Below the balance point, supplementary heat is needed.
the point on the cue, normally about 16i from the butt, where the cue will balance on a finger or fulcrum.
An outdoor temperature, usually between 30 degrees F and 45 degrees F, at which a heat pump's output exactly equals the heating needs of the home. Below the balance point, supplementary electric resistance heat is needed to maintain indoor comfort.
The lowest outdoor temperature at which the refrigeration cycle of a heat pump will supply the heating requirements without the aid of a supplementary heat source.
Balance Point is the sixth installment of the New Jedi Order series set in the Star Wars universe. It is a science fiction novel written by Kathy Tyers and published in 2000.
