2. Forced-air - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced-air

   The supply plenum directs air from the central unit to the rooms which the system is designed to heat. Regardless of type, all air handlers consist of an air filter, blower, heat exchanger/element/coil, and various controls. Like any other kind of central heating system, thermostats are used to control forced air heating systems. Forced air ...

3. Underfloor air distribution - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underfloor_air_distribution

   DV systems deliver cool air into the conditioned space at or near the floor level and return air at the ceiling level. This works by utilizing the natural buoyancy of warm air and the thermal plumes generated by heat sources as cooler air is delivered from lower elevations. While similar, UFAD tends to encourage more mixing within the occupied ...

4. Underfloor heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underfloor_heating

   the air's density and thus its buoyancy. Air buoyancy changes according to surface temperatures and; forced air movement due to fans and the motion of people and objects in the space. Convective heat transfer with underfloor systems is much greater when the system is operating in a heating rather than cooling mode. [60]

5. Forced-air gas - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced-air_gas

   A small leak of combustion gases into the heated air can be dangerous to the occupants of the heated space, because of possible carbon monoxide build up. [2] A condensing forced-air furnace; flue pipes are plastic, not metal, because of the low waste-gas temperature. Plastic outlet for a condensing natural gas hot air furnace.

6. Central heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_heating

   Hydronic radiant floor heating systems use a boiler or district heating to heat water and a pump to circulate the hot water in plastic pipes installed in a concrete slab. The pipes, embedded in the floor, carry heated water that conducts warmth to the surface of the floor, where it broadcasts heat energy to the room above.

7. Radiant heating and cooling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiant_heating_and_cooling

   Radiant systems, encompassing both heating and cooling, transfer heat or coolness directly through surfaces, such as floors, ceilings, or walls, instead of relying on forced-air systems. These systems are broadly categorized into three types: [ 19 ] thermally activated building systems (TABS), [ 20 ] embedded surface systems, and radiant ...
