The boilers are fed wood fuel from the main fuel bin located adjacent to the boiler house. The boilers are the "pile burner" type, which burn wood in a large pile on the floor of a refractory lined furnace box. Combustion efficiency with this type of boiler is generally low but pile burners are simple and therefore relatively inexpensive. Low combustion efficiency also means that emissions such as particulates and carbon monoxide are relatively high. One notable advantage to these systems is that high moisture content fuels can be burned as well as "dirty" fuels containing debris.  3, record 1, English, - pile%20burner

Pile burner: Boilers incorporating a pile burning design find applications where the anticipated wood fuel has a high (up to 65%) relative moisture content, as is found in whole green tree chips, bark, and green mill residue. Grates serve to support the fuel, and underfire air flowing up through the grates provides oxygen for combustion, cools the grates, promotes turbulence in the fuel bed, and dries the fuel. The most common form of pile burning is the Dutch oven, which was used almost exclusively during the early part of the century (Guinn and Turner 1990).  4, record 1, English, - pile%20burner

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. Models that incorporate a means of forced air circulation are available.  1, record 2, English, - floor%20furnace

Warm-air heating system that depends on the difference in density between warm and cold air for the circulation of air throughout the system.  1, record 3, English, - gravity%20warm%2Dair%20heating%20system

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS

Early warm-air systems delivered air to and from rooms by gravity circulation in large ducts connected to the furnace in the basement. Since the only force producing circulation was that due to the small difference in density between the hot supply air and the cold return air, a satisfactory volume of air could be moved only by providing very large air ducts and registers and heating the air to a high temperature. The result was a very bulky system that produced hot air at the ceiling and cold air on the floor.  3, record 3, English, - gravity%20warm%2Dair%20heating%20system

Le système de périmètre en boucle peut être utilisé pour n'importe quel type de construction, qu'elle soit résidentielle ou industrielle. Il est cependant efficace pour les édifices sans sous-sol. Il est surtout utilisé dans les structures où le plancher en béton est en contact direct avec le sol. Il est nécessaire en effet de chauffer le plancher dans de tels cas pour des raisons de confort. Dans la plupart des cas, le système de distribution de la chaleur est intégré au plancher (on trouve habituellement des conduites circulaires dans le plancher). La fournaise est située dans une pièce aménagée à cet effet au rez-de-chaussée et l'air chauffé est distribué dans les conduites, à partir d'une boîte centrale située sous celle-ci [...] Les conduites forment une boucle au périmètre de la maison [...]  1, record 4, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20de%20p%C3%A9rim%C3%A8tre%20en%20boucle

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 6, English, - high%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 7, 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.
