2. List of boiler types by manufacturer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_boiler_types_by...

   Vanderbilt boiler An American design, similar to the Lentz and large launch-type boilers. [36] Velox boiler: [61] vertical boiler: flued or fire-tube designs where the main shell is a cylinder on a vertical axis, rather than horizontal. Boilers of this external form may have a great variety of internal arrangements.

3. Furnace (central heating) - Wikipedia

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

   By comparison, most modern "warm air" furnaces typically use a fan to circulate air to the rooms of house and pull cooler air back to the furnace for reheating; this is called forced-air heat. Because the fan easily overcomes the resistance of the ductwork, the arrangement of ducts can be far more flexible than the octopus of old.

4. Velox boiler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velox_boiler

   From Brown Boveri Review [3]. The Velox principle combines the use of combustion under pressure, with very high flue gas velocities and with a gas turbine, whereby the pressure in the combustion chamber, the high gas velocities and the pressure drop of the gases for production of work are created by means of a compressor driven by the gas turbine, the latter being actuated by the products of ...

5. 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 ...

6. Condensing boiler - Wikipedia

   [citation needed] In the UK, this is a SEDBUK (Seasonal Efficiency of Domestic Boilers in the UK) [4] Band A efficiency rating, while in North America they typically receive an Eco Logo and/or Energy Star Certification. Boiler performance is based on the efficiency of heat transfer and highly dependent on boiler size/output and emitter size/output.

7. Boiler design - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_design

   Boiler design is the process of designing boilers used for various purposes. The main function of a boiler is to heat water to generate steam. Steam produced in a boiler can be used for a variety of purposes including space heating, sterilisation, drying, humidification and power generation. The temperature or condition of steam required for ...

8. Pellet boiler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pellet_boiler

   A pellet boiler is a heating system that burns wood pellets. Pellet boilers are used in central heating systems for heat requirements (heating load) from 3.9 kW to 1 MW (megawatt) or more. Pellet central heating systems are used in single family homes, and in larger residential, commercial, or institutional applications.

9. Scotch marine boiler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotch_marine_boiler

   A "Scotch" marine boiler (or simply Scotch boiler) is a design of steam boiler best known for its use on ships. Sectional diagram of a "wet back" boiler. The general layout is that of a squat horizontal cylinder. One or more large cylindrical furnaces are in the lower part of the boiler shell. Above this are many small-diameter fire-tubes ...
