2. Furnace (central heating) - Wikipedia

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

   A furnace ( American English ), referred to as a heater or boiler in British English, is an appliance used to generate heat for all or part of a building. Furnaces are mostly used as a major component of a central heating system. Furnaces are permanently installed to provide heat to an interior space through intermediary fluid movement, which ...

3. Forced-air gas - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced-air_gas

   Gas-fired forced-air furnaces have a burner in the furnace fuelled 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] Each room has an outlet from the duct system, often mounted in the floor or low on the wall – some rooms will also have an ...

4. Central heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_heating

   Central heating. A condensing boiler. Hot water central heating unit, using wood as fuel. A central heating system provides warmth to a number of spaces within a building from one main source of heat. It is a component of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (short: HVAC) systems, which can both cool and warm interior spaces.

5. Air source heat pump - Wikipedia

   The gas is then compressed using an electric pump; the compression increases the temperature of the gas. Inside the building, the gas passes through a pressure valve into heat exchanger coils. There, the hot refrigerant gas condenses back to a liquid and transfers the stored latent heat to the indoor air, water heating or hot water system.

6. Forced-air - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced-air

   Safety devices ensure that combustion gases and/or unburned fuel do not accumulate in the event of an ignition failure or venting failure. Electric. A simple electric heating element warms the air. When the thermostat calls for heat, blower and element come on at the same time. When thermostat is "satisfied", blower and element shut off.

7. Coke (fuel) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coke_(fuel)

   Coke (fuel) Raw coke. Coke is a grey, hard, and porous coal-based fuel with a high carbon content and few impurities, made by heating coal or oil in the absence of air—a destructive distillation process. It is an important industrial product, used mainly in iron ore smelting, but also as a fuel in stoves and forges when air pollution is a ...
