  2. Rumford fireplace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumford_fireplace

    The Rumford fireplace is a tall, shallow fireplace designed by Sir Benjamin Thompson, Count Rumford, an Anglo-American physicist best known for his investigations of heat. Its shallow, angled sides are designed to reflect heat into the room, and its streamlined throat minimizes turbulence, thereby carrying away smoke with little loss of heated ...

  3. Fireplace insert - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fireplace_insert

    A fireplace insert is a device that can be inserted into an existing masonry or prefabricated wood fireplace. Most fireplace inserts are made from cast iron or steel. Fresh air enters through vents below, circulates around the main chamber (where it heats up), then exits through the chimney. Fireplace inserts have insulated glass doors that ...

  4. Central heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_heating

    Central heating. A central heating system provides warmth to a number of spaces within a building from one main source of heat. It is a component of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (short: HVAC) systems, which can both cool and warm interior spaces. A central heating system has a furnace that converts fuel or electricity to heat.

  5. Joule heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule_heating

    Joule heating (also known as resistive, resistance, or Ohmic heating) is the process by which the passage of an electric current through a conductor produces heat.. Joule's first law (also just Joule's law), also known in countries of the former USSR as the Joule–Lenz law, [1] states that the power of heating generated by an electrical conductor equals the product of its resistance and the ...

  6. Induction furnace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_furnace

    An induction furnace is an electrical furnace in which the heat is applied by induction heating of metal. [1][2][3] Induction furnace capacities range from less than one kilogram to one hundred tons, and are used to melt iron and steel, copper, aluminum, and precious metals. The advantage of the induction furnace is a clean, energy-efficient ...

  7. Forced-air - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced-air

    Forced-air. A forced-air system includes registers located in individual rooms through which heated air is discharged. A forced-air central heating system is one which uses air as its heat transfer medium. These systems rely on ductwork, vents, and plenums as means of air distribution, separate from the actual heating and air conditioning systems.
