English

Subject field(s)
  • Ovens, Furnaces and Boilers (Heating)
DEF

Furnace in which the circulating air flows upward, discharging at or near the top of the casing.

CONT

The upflow or high-boy furnace has the blower beneath the heat exchanger discharging vertically upward. Air enters through the bottom or the side of the blower compartment and leaves at the top. Such furnaces may be used in closets and utility rooms on the first floor of homes or in basements with the return air ducted down to the blower compartment entrance.

OBS

Furnaces for forced air systems are available in various designs.... In addition, each is usually classified in terms of the direction in which the air is delivered. The three basic types are upflow, counter flow and horizontal, and there are several variations depending on the actual installation.

Key term(s)
  • up flow furnace
  • up flow forced warm air furnace
  • up draft furnace

French

Domaine(s)
  • Fours et chaudières (Chauffage)
CONT

Les modèles proposés, pour les plus nombreux, sont verticaux (...) Les figures 9A et 9B montrent respectivement un générateur vertical et un horizontal.

OBS

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.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Ovens, Furnaces and Boilers (Heating)
  • Gas and Oil Heating
OBS

Another development in furnace and boiler technology offers efficiency improvements of 15 to 25 per cent over the conventional furnace. This furnace is equipped with electric ignition and a built-in induced draft fan(a device that provides and ensures the escape of combustion by-products) and no draft hood. Elimination of the draft hood dramatically reduces the furnace's overall air requirement while the furnace is operating, and reduces the warm air outflow up the chimney on the off-cycle.
