Chaudière: Certains auteurs incluent l'air dans les types de fluide caloporteur de la chaudière. En général, on devrait plutôt dire "chaudière" lorsque le fluide caloporteur est l'eau ou la vapeur et "générateur d'air chaud", lorsque le fluide est l'air. 6, record 7, French, - chaudi%C3%A8re%20en%20fonte

générateur; chaudière: Certains auteurs semblent employer indifféremment ces termes, peu importe l'importance de l'appareil. Cependant, de façon générale, "générateur" serait réservé aux "appareils de chauffage de très grande importance"; dans d'autres cas, le terme "générateur", prendrait le sens général "d'appareil qui produit de la chaleur". 6, record 7, French, - chaudi%C3%A8re%20en%20fonte
