2. Forced-air gas - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced-air_gas

   Older furnaces sometimes relied on gravity instead of a blower to circulate air. [1]Gas-fired forced-air furnaces have a burner in the furnace fueled by natural gas.A blower forces cold air through a heat exchanger and then through duct-work that distributes the hot air through the building. [2]

3. Forced-air - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced-air

   Heat is produced via combustion of fuel. A heat exchanger keeps the combustion byproducts from entering the air stream. A ribbon style (long with holes), inshot (torch-like), or oil type burner is located in the heat exchanger. Ignition is provided by an electric spark, standing pilot, or hot surface igniter.

4. Heat exchanger - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_exchanger

   A waste heat recovery unit (WHRU) is a heat exchanger that recovers heat from a hot gas stream while transferring it to a working medium, typically water or oils. The hot gas stream can be the exhaust gas from a gas turbine or a diesel engine or a waste gas from industry or refinery.

5. Central heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_heating

   Electric heating or resistance heating converts electricity directly to heat. Electric heat is often more expensive than heat produced by combustion appliances like natural gas, propane, and oil. Electric resistance heat can be provided by baseboard heaters, space heaters, radiant heaters, furnaces, wall heaters, or thermal storage systems.

6. Furnace (central heating) - Wikipedia

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

   High efficiency condensing gas furnaces typically achieve between 90% and 98% AFUE. [3] 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 ...

7. Run-around coil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run-around_coil

   A run-around coil installation, serving air handling units on the roof of an office building. A run-around coil is a type of energy recovery heat exchanger most often positioned within the supply and exhaust air streams of an air handling system, or in the exhaust gases of an industrial process, to recover the heat energy.
