  2. Air preheater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_preheater

    The purpose of the air preheater is to recover the heat from the boiler flue gas which increases the thermal efficiency of the boiler by reducing the useful heat lost in the flue gas. As a consequence, the flue gases are also conveyed to the flue gas stack (or chimney ) at a lower temperature, allowing simplified design of the conveyance system ...

  3. Back boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_boiler

    The back boiler is typically used with a gravity feed circuit to the hot water cylinder, with a vent or overflow to prevent excess pressure build up.It can also be connected to a series of radiators to provide central heating but usually requires an electrical pump to be fitted to circulate the hot water, some systems can use the gravity circuit to include radiators.

  4. Fusible plug - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusible_plug

    The temperature of the flue gases in a steam engine firebox can reach 1,000 °F (538 °C), at which temperature copper, from which historically most fireboxes were made, softens to a state which can no longer sustain the boiler pressure and a severe explosion will result if water is not put into the boiler quickly and the fire removed or ...

  5. Flue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flue

    A flue is a duct, pipe, or opening in a chimney for conveying exhaust gases from a fireplace, furnace, water heater, boiler, or generator to the outdoors. Historically the term flue meant the chimney itself. [1] In the United States, they are also known as vents for boilers and as breeching for water heaters and modern

  6. Register (air and heating) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Register_(air_and_heating)

    Ideally, a room will have both heating and cooling registers. In practice, cost considerations usually require that heating and cooling be provided by the same register. In such cases, heating most often takes precedence over cooling, and registers are usually found close to the floor. [7] For heating purposes, a floor register is preferred.

  7. Electric steam boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_steam_boiler

    Water from the system or holding tank is then run over or near this hot element in a pipe or tank, heating the water to a suitable temperature, then making the water hot enough to boil and become saturated steam, [1] at which point the saturated steam is transported to wherever it is needed via the steam pipes that exit the body of the electric ...

  9. Furnace (central heating) - Wikipedia

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

    The second category of furnace is the forced-air having atmospheric burner style with a cast-iron or sectional steel heat exchanger. Through the 1950s and 1960s, this style of furnace was used to replace the big, natural draft systems, and was sometimes installed on the existing gravity duct work.
