  2. Annual fuel utilization efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annual_fuel_utilization...

    The annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE; pronounced 'A'-'Few' or 'A'-'F'-'U'-'E') is a thermal efficiency measure of space-heating furnaces and boilers.The AFUE differs from the true 'thermal efficiency' in that it is not a steady-state, peak measure of conversion efficiency, but instead attempts to represent the actual, season-long, average efficiency of that piece of equipment ...

  3. 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 through the side or roof of the structure. Fuel efficiency in a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_efficiency

    The thermal efficiency of modern steam turbine plants with reheat cycles can reach 47%, and in combined cycle plants, in which a steam turbine is powered by exhaust heat from a gas turbine, it can approach 60%. [4] Brayton cycle: gas turbines and jet engines The Brayton cycle is the cycle used in gas turbines and jet engines. It consists of a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-hearth_furnace

    Tapping open hearth furnace, Fagersta steelmill, Sweden, 1967. Carl Wilhelm Siemens developed the Siemens regenerative furnace in the 1850s, and claimed in 1857 to be recovering enough heat to save 70–80% of the fuel. This furnace operates at a high temperature by using regenerative preheating of fuel and air for combustion. In regenerative ...

  6. Condensing boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condensing_boiler

    Condensing boiler manufacturers claim that up to 98% thermal efficiency can be achieved, [3] compared to 70%-80% with conventional designs (based on the higher heating value of fuels). Typical models offer efficiencies around 90%, which brings most brands of condensing gas boiler in to the highest available categories for energy efficiency.

  7. Cogeneration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cogeneration

    Even though the efficiency of a small distributed electrical generator may be lower than a large central power plant, the use of its waste heat for local heating and cooling can result in an overall use of the primary fuel supply as great as 80%. [48]
