Les générateurs d'air chaud à condensation alimentés au gaz sont les appareils les plus efficaces offerts sur le marché, avec un rendement saisonnier de l'ordre de 90 à 97 p. 100. [...] Dans la plupart des modèles à condensation, le brûleur est semblable à celui d'un appareil ordinaire, le tirage étant assuré par un ventilateur à tirage aspiré. Toutefois, des surfaces d'échange thermique supplémentaires, faites de matériaux anticorrosion (généralement de l'acier inoxydable), extraient la chaleur des sous-produits de combustion avant leur évacuation. Là où se fait la condensation et l'échange thermique, les gaz de combustion sont refroidis au point où leur vapeur d'eau se condense, libérant ainsi plus de chaleur dans la maison. Le condensat est acheminé à un avaloir. [...] Les gaz de combustion sont alors suffisamment refroidis pour être évacués par un tuyau en plastique PVC ou ABS traversant un mur extérieur de la maison plutôt que par une cheminée.  1, record 2, French, - g%C3%A9n%C3%A9rateur%20d%27air%20chaud%20%C3%A0%20condensation%20aliment%C3%A9%20au%20gaz

Gravity furnaces have the air passages through the casing and over the heat exchanger more generously proportioned so that the buoyancy force created by the air being warmed furnishes the motive power to circulate the air through the ducts. Floor furnaces are a variation of the gravity furnace and are designed to fit flush with the floor and distribute the heated air directly into the living area.

Forced Air Wood Furnaces. Central wood-burning furnaces are controlled by a wall mounted thermostat in the living area. Temperature and fan controls are the same as those found on oil and gas furnaces. Unlike room heaters, which produce a steady heat output by periodic manual adjustments of the draft control, most wood furnaces operate in cycles. A cycle starts with the thermostat sensing that heat is needed in the room where it is located. It signals the furnace control system which opens the combustion air damper and a hot fire develops. When the air inside the furnace's sheet metal casing gets hot, a preset fan control starts the circulating blower and the warm air is moved through the ducts to all areas of the house.  1, record 8, English, - forced%20air%20wood%20furnace
