2. Furnace (central heating) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furnace_(central_heating)

   A condensing gas furnace includes a sealed combustion area, combustion draft inducer and a secondary heat exchanger. The primary gain in efficiency for a condensing gas furnace, as compared to a mid-efficiency forced-air or forced-draft furnace, is the capture of latent heat from the exhaust gases in the secondary heat exchanger.

3. Draft (boiler) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft_(boiler)

   In a water boiler, draft is the difference between atmospheric pressure and the pressure existing in the furnace or flue gas passage. [1] Draft can also be referred to as the difference in pressure in the combustion chamber area which results in the motion of the flue gases and the air flow.

4. Thermostat - Wikipedia

   Start draft inducer fan/blower (if the furnace is relatively recent) to create a column of air flowing up the chimney; Heat ignitor or start spark-ignition system; Open gas valve to ignite main burners; Wait (if furnace is relatively recent) until the heat exchanger is at proper operating temperature before starting main blower fan or ...

5. Central heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_heating

   The main components of the traditional ondol are an agungi (firebox or stove) accessible from an adjoining room (typically kitchen or master bedroom), a raised masonry floor underlain by horizontal smoke passages, and a vertical, freestanding chimney on the opposite exterior wall providing a draft. The heated floor, supported by stone piers or ...

6. Direct vent fireplace - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_vent_fireplace

   Even a very efficient traditional fireplace only operates at about 15% efficiency. This is because most of the hot air generated by the fire travels up the chimney due to convection. A traditional fireplace can also draw hot air in from the room and expel it through the chimney, further lowering the efficiency. The design of the direct vent ...

   An induction heater is a key piece of equipment used in all forms of induction heating. Typically an induction heater operates at either medium frequency (MF) or radio frequency (RF) ranges. Typically an induction heater operates at either medium frequency (MF) or radio frequency (RF) ranges.
