Il existe trois modèles principaux d'appareil de chauffage électrique à air pulsé pour les différents types de construction. Le système à circulation ascendante est semblable aux appareils de chauffage classique au mazout ou au gaz, l'air chaud étant distribué depuis le dessus de l'appareil dans les conduits de distribution, et le retour de l'air de la maison se faisant à l'arrière ou sur le dessus de l'appareil. C'est celui qui convient le mieux pour les sous-sols.  3, record 1, French, - g%C3%A9n%C3%A9rateur%20vertical

Le rendement des appareils [de chauffage à air chaud] ne semble pas affecté par la forme lamellaire ou tubulaire des échangeurs, mais les échangeurs à contre-courant, comme il est normal, conduisent à un meilleur rendement de la surface d'échange que les échangeurs à courants parallèles ou croisés.  2, record 2, French, - g%C3%A9n%C3%A9rateur%20d%27air%20chaud%20%C3%A0%20circulation%20%C3%A0%20contre%2Dcourant

The three basic types [of forced air furnace] are upflow, counter flow and horizontal, and there are several variations depending on the actual installation.... The highboy(upflow) furnace is used primarily in single-level homes when the ducts are placed in the attic. This may be because of the slab on grade construction or because there is limited crawl space. The furnace may be located in a closet or recessed area in the wall. The air enters the furnace through a low side entry or through the bottom, and it leaves through the top.  2, record 3, English, - high%2Dboy%20furnace

The basement or low-boy furnace is a variation of the upflow furnace and requires less head room. The blower is located beside the heat exchanger at the bottom. The air enters the top of the cabinet, is drawn down through the blower and discharged over the heat exchanger, and leaves vertically at the top.  2, record 4, English, - low%2Dboy%20furnace

Oil furnaces. Indoor oil furnaces... are available in upflow, downflow, horizontal and low-boy configurations for ducted systems. They are also available as floor furnaces, wall furnaces, and free standing space heaters. Oil-fired outdoor furnaces and combination units are rare.... The ducted system, oil-fired, forced air furnaces are usually equipped with pressure-atomizing burners. The pump pressure and the orifice size of the injection nozzle regulate the firing rate of the furnace. Electric ignition is used to ignite the burners.... The combustion chamber and heat exchanger of oil-fired furnaces are normally formed as a common single chamber. It is formed from heavy gage steel into a welded assembly. The hot flue products flow through the inside of the heat exchanger into the chimney. The conditioned air flows over the outside of the heat exchanger and into the air supply plenum.  1, record 5, English, - oil%20furnace

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 5, French, - g%C3%A9n%C3%A9rateur%20%C3%A0%20mazout
