  2. Furnace (central heating) - Wikipedia

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

    Heating appliances that use steam or hot water as the fluid are normally referred to as a residential steam boilers or residential hot water boilers. The most common fuel source for modern furnaces in North America and much of Europe is natural gas; other common fuel sources include LPG (liquefied petroleum gas), fuel oil, wood and in rare ...

  3. Chiller boiler system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiller_boiler_system

    A chiller boiler system is a hydronic system. It uses water instead of air to heat and cool a structure. A properly designed hydronic system is usually more efficient than a standard forced air system. [1] Chiller boiler systems use radiant heating and cooling or fan coil systems to condition a home or business. This allows for multiple zones ...

    donkey boiler: A donkey boiler is used to supply non-essential steam to a ship for 'hotel' services such as heating or lighting when the main boilers are not in steam, for example, when in port. [3] Donkey boilers were also used by the last sailing ships for working winches and anchor capstans. See also auxiliary boiler.

  5. Condensing boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condensing_boiler

    Condensing boilers are water heaters typically used for heating systems that are fueled by gas or oil. When operated in the correct circumstances, a heating system can achieve high efficiency (greater than 90% on the higher heating value ) by condensing water vapour found in the exhaust gases in a heat exchanger to preheat the circulating water.

  6. Heating system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating_system

    Central heating systems: These systems produce heat in one central location and distribute it throughout the building. This category includes furnaces, boilers, and heat pumps. [1] [2] Distributed heating systems: These systems generate heat in the space they are to heat, without extensive duct systems. Examples include electric space heaters ...

  7. Tankless water heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankless_water_heating

    The heating and DHW demands usually differ, and since installers will select a boiler to meet the larger demand (which is usually DHW in most homes), it will be oversized for the smaller demand; an oversized boiler will operate less efficiently due to problems such as short cycling and having increased return water temperatures that reduce ...

  8. Electric boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_boiler

    In a residential setting, an electric boiler is often used as a backup to a house's heating system. During the colder months, heating and hot water is used more frequently. This type of boiler will provide additional heating and hot water to a home. [3] Some types of boilers aren't used for heating, but for other purposes. A boiler could be ...

  9. Central heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_heating

    A steam heating system takes advantage of the high latent heat which is given off when steam condenses to liquid water. In a steam heating system, each room is equipped with a radiator which is connected to a source of low-pressure steam (a boiler). Steam entering the radiator condenses and gives up its latent heat, returning to liquid water.
