Question 9

Three types of space heaters

Answer 9

Unit heater
Floor heater
Wall furnace

Question 10

What is a unit heater

Answer 10

Air is forced through a heat exchanger by a propeller type fan, no filters,

Question 11

What is a floor furnace

Answer 11

Similar in construction to a upflow furnace

Air is drawn into blower compartment, then discharged through one or more blower cowls

Question 12

Wall furnace is a

Answer 12

Nearly identical to floor furnace

Recessed into wall to save floor space

Question 13

Answer 15

Achieve near perfect combustion

Question 16

A secondary heat exchanger uses ________ to improve efficiency 3

Answer 16

Secondary heat exchanger
Induced draft blower
Intermittent spark ignition and electronic contro

Question 17

What is the average tempurature that flue gasses leave the primary heat exchanger?

Answer 17

230- 250 degrees Celsius

Question 18

What temperature does flue gas leave the secondary heat exchanger

Answer 18

65 degrees Celsius

Question 19

What is the pulse combustion with secondary heat recoveries efficiency?

Answer 19

94-98%

Question 20

What form the primary heat exchanger on a pulse combustion system

Answer 20

The chamber, tailpipe, and decoupler

Question 21

How often is the pulse combustion process repeated?

Answer 21

60-70 times per second

Question 22

How does the pulse combustion work?

Answer 22

Cool air return is passed over the secondary heat exchanger first, then over the primary heat exchanger in order to receive the maximum amount of heat from the furnace

Question 23

What’s the pointless part about learning pulse combustion?

Answer 23

They are no longer manufactured

Question 24

Advantages of forced air circulation

Answer 24

Positive pressure more uniform heat cable obtained
Ducts are smaller than a gravity system
Furnace cable located in any part of the building
Air may be cleaned by filters
Air may be humidified
Ability to control quantity of external ventilation air

Question 25

Disadvantages of forced air circulation

Answer 25

Air ducts are much larger this team or hot water heating systems
Noisy if not properly designed
