  2. Central heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_heating

    Central heating differs from space heating in that the heat generation occurs in one place, such as a furnace room or basement in a house or a mechanical room in a large building (though not necessarily at the geometrically "central" point).

  3. Hypocaust - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypocaust

    Hypocaust under the floor in a Roman villa in Vieux-la-Romaine, near Caen, France. A hypocaust (Latin: hypocaustum) is a system of central heating in a building that produces and circulates hot air below the floor of a room, and may also warm the walls with a series of pipes through which the hot air passes.

  4. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating,_ventilation,_and...

    This allows a more granular application of heat, similar to non-central heating systems. Zones are controlled by multiple thermostats. In water heating systems the thermostats control zone valves, and in forced air systems they control zone dampers inside the vents which selectively block the flow of air. In this case, the control system is ...

  5. Furnace (central heating) - Wikipedia

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

    However, the simplicity of single-stage gas furnaces come at the cost of blower motor noise and mechanical inefficiency. The blower motors on these single-stage furnaces consume more energy overall because, regardless of the heating requirements of the space, the fan and blower motors operate at a fixed-speed.

  6. Forced-air - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced-air

    The supply plenum directs air from the central unit to the rooms which the system is designed to heat. Regardless of type, all air handlers consist of an air filter, blower, heat exchanger/element/coil, and various controls. Like any other kind of central heating system, thermostats are used to control forced air heating systems.

  7. Furnace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furnace

    Furnace (central heating): a furnace, or a heater or boiler, used to generate heat for buildings; Boiler, used to heat water; also called a furnace in American English when used for heating and hot water in a building; Jetstream furnace or Tempest boiler, a design of wood-fired water heater
