2. Forced-air - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced-air

   Requires less energy than electric resistance heating and possibly more efficient than fossil fuel fired furnaces (gas/oil/coal). Air source types may not be suitable for cold climates unless used with backup (secondary) source of heat. Newer models may still provide heat when coping with temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F).

3. 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]

4. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning - Wikipedia

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

   Such a system contains a boiler, furnace, or heat pump to heat water, steam, or air in a central location such as a furnace room in a home, or a mechanical room in a large building. The heat can be transferred by convection, conduction, or radiation. Space heaters are used to heat single rooms and only consist of a single unit.

5. Glossary of HVAC terms - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_HVAC_terms

   A component of an HVAC system that adds heat to air or an intermediate fluid by burning fuel (natural gas, oil, propane, butane, or other flammable substances) in a heat exchanger. gas furnace heat exchanger A gas furnace heat exchanger is responsible for the transfer of heat from inside the furnace into the air outside the furnace.

6. Ventilation (architecture) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventilation_(architecture)

   The furnace, built on the outside of the workshop, featured earthen pipe-like air vents with hundreds of tiny holes in them and a prototype chimney to ensure air goes into the furnace to feed the fire and smoke comes out safely. [39] Passive ventilation and passive cooling systems were widely written about around the Mediterranean by Classical ...

7. Duct (flow) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duct_(flow)

   Ducts for air pollution control in a 17000 standard cubic feet per minute regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO). A round galvanized steel duct connecting to a typical diffuser Fire-resistance rated mechanical shaft with HVAC sheet metal ducting and copper piping, as well as "HOW" (Head-Of-Wall) joint between top of concrete block wall and underside of concrete slab, firestopped with ceramic ...
