Gas designed boilers for hot water or steam heating are available in cast-ion, steel, and nonferrous metal. The burners are located beneath the sections, and the flue gases pass upwards between the sections to the flue collector. Some boilers are designed to provide domestic hot water, using tankless or instantaneous heaters. 1, record 1, English, - gas%2Dfired%20boiler

Chaudières à gaz. L'expression "chauffage central au gaz" fait parfois naître une confusion. Il est bien entendu que le fluide chauffant est toujours l'eau, ou la vapeur, ou l'air chaud. La seule différence avec le chauffage central au charbon est que la chaudière est alimentée au gaz, un brûleur remplaçant la grille. Ce brûleur est généralement à flamme blanche. Quand le gaz a un pouvoir calorifique élevé on utilise un brûleur à flamme bleue (...) A l'intérieur de la chaudière est disposé, au-dessus du brûleur, un faisceau de tubes où circule l'eau à chauffer. 4, record 1, French, - chaudi%C3%A8re%20%C3%A0%20gaz

Fournaise: Ce terme est considéré comme impropre par les puristes. Selon Dagenais dans son, Dictionnaire des difficultés de la langue française au Canada", "fournaise" serait un calque de l'anglais "furnace" et nous devrions plutôt dire "chaudière" lorsque le fluide caloporteur est l'eau ou la vapeur et "générateur d'air chaud", lorsque le fluide, est l'air. Cependant, ce terme reste d'usage fréquent au Québec, autant en langue parlée qu'en langue écrite. 5, record 1, French, - chaudi%C3%A8re%20%C3%A0%20gaz
