Boiler and Furnace Conversion

Sometimes it becomes necessary to convert an existing boiler or fur­nace to another fuel. This is usually the case when the fuel for which it was originally designed has become too expensive relative to oth­ers or does not meet the desired level of efficiency. During the early 1950s, when coal was becoming more and more […]

Steam and Hot-Water Space Heating Boilers

Boilers are used to supply steam or hot water for heating, process­ing, or power purposes. This chapter is primarily concerned with a description of the low-pressure steam and hot-water (hydronic) space heating boilers used in the heating systems of residences and small buildings (Figures 15-1 and 15-2). The basic construction of both low-pressure steam and […]

Electric Furnaces

Electric heating is the only heat produced almost as fast as the ther­mostat calls for it. It is nearly instantaneous because there are no heat exchangers to warm up. The heating elements start producing heat the moment the thermostat calls for it. Unlike electric base­board heating systems, electric furnaces are designed to provide the same […]

Coal Furnaces, Wood Furnaces, and Multi-Fuel Furnaces

Coal and wood furnaces burn solid fuels. The former burns coal or coke; the latter, various types of wood. Solid-fuel forced-warm-air furnaces are rated in accordance with formulas provided by the for­mer National Warm Air Heating and Air Conditioning Association (now the Air Conditioning Contractors of America). Check the lat­est edition of the publication Commercial […]

Oil Furnaces

Oil furnaces are available in upflow, downflow (counterflow), or horizontal-flow models and in a wide range of heating capacities for installations in attics, basements, closet spaces, or at floor level (Figures 12-1, 12-2, and 12-3). The furnace, oil burner, and controls are generally available from the manufacturer as a complete package for residential installations. All […]
