  2. Forced-air gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced-air_gas

    A condensing forced-air furnace; flue pipes are plastic, not metal, because of the low waste-gas temperature. Plastic outlet for a condensing natural gas hot air furnace. Not all the water vapor is condensed; some freezes at the outlet. This vent contains a coaxial combustion air inlet pipe.

  3. Flue gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flue_gas

    Flue gas from London's Bankside Power Station, 1975. Flue gas is the gas exiting to the atmosphere via a flue, which is a pipe or channel for conveying exhaust gases, as from a fireplace, oven, furnace, boiler or steam generator. It often refers to the exhaust gas of combustion at power plants. Technology is available to remove pollutants from ...

  4. Furnace (central heating) - Wikipedia

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

    Modern high-efficiency furnaces can be up to 98% efficient and operate without a chimney, with a typical gas furnace being about 80% efficient. [1] Waste gas and heat are mechanically ventilated through either metal flue pipes or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes that can be vented

  5. Central heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_heating

    Details of furnace and expansion tube from Perkins' 1838 Patent. Perkins' 1832 apparatus distributed water at 200 degrees Celsius (392 °F) through small diameter pipes at high pressure. A crucial invention to make the system viable was the thread screwed joint, that allowed the joint between the pipes to bear a similar pressure to the pipe itself.

    A flue liner is a secondary barrier in a chimney that protects the masonry from the acidic products of combustion, helps prevent flue gas from entering the house, and reduces the size of an oversized flue. Since the 1950s, building codes in many locations require newly built chimneys to have a flue liner.

  8. 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.

  9. Flue-gas stack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flue-gas_stack

    A flue gas stack at GRES-2 Power Station in Ekibastuz, Kazakhstan, the tallest of its kind in the world (420 meters or 1,380 feet) [1]. A flue-gas stack, also known as a smoke stack, chimney stack or simply as a stack, is a type of chimney, a vertical pipe, channel or similar structure through which flue gases are exhausted to the outside air.
