  2. Flue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flue

    The heat from the flue gases is absorbed quickly by the bricks and then released slowly to the house rather than the chimney. In a well insulated home, a single load fire burning for one and a half hours twice a day is enough to keep an entire home warm for a 24-hour period. In this way, less fuel is used, and noxious emissions are reduced.

  3. Kitchen exhaust cleaning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitchen_exhaust_cleaning

    Before and after pictures of commercial kitchen hood in North Bay, Ontario.. Kitchen exhaust cleaning (often referred to as hood cleaning) is the process of removing grease that has accumulated inside the ducts, hoods, fans and vents of exhaust systems of commercial kitchens.

  4. Convection (heat transfer) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convection_(Heat_transfer)

    For example, when water is heated on a stove, hot water from the bottom of the pan is displaced (or forced up) by the colder denser liquid, which falls. After heating has stopped, mixing and conduction from this natural convection eventually result in a nearly homogeneous density, and even temperature.

  5. Wood-burning stove - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood-burning_stove

    A 19th-century example of a wood-burning stove. A wood-burning stove (or wood burner or log burner in the UK) is a heating or cooking appliance capable of burning wood fuel, often called solid fuel, and wood-derived biomass fuel, such as sawdust bricks.

  6. Flue gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flue_gas

    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 flue gas at power plants.

  7. Furnace (central heating) - Wikipedia

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

    The heat exchangers were vented through brick or masonry chimneys. Air circulation depended on large, upwardly pitched pipes constructed of wood or metal. The pipes would channel the warm air into floor or wall vents inside the home. This method of heating worked because warm air rises.

  8. Radiant heating and cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiant_heating_and_cooling

    It is not affected by pipe diameter, room operative temperature, supply water temperature, and water flow regime. By using response time, radiant systems can be classified into fast response (τ95< 10 min, like RCP), medium response (1 h<τ95<9 h, like Type A, B, D, G) and slow response (9 h< τ95<19 h, like Type E and Type F).
