Study Notes
Combustion Blowers
- Two types: Forced draft and induced draft.
Forced-Air Heating Systems
- Heat sources can include electric resistance heating elements, indoor coils of heat pumps, and gas-fired furnaces.
High Efficiency Furnaces
- Condensing furnaces are high efficiency with AFUE ratings above 90%.
Secondary Heat Exchangers
- Designed to transfer both sensible and latent heat.
Indoor Blower Function
- The indoor blower creates airflow through the heat exchanger and distributes warm air through ductwork.
Direct-Drive Blowers
- In direct-drive systems, the motor's shaft connects directly to the blower fan.
Multipoise Furnaces
- These furnaces can be reconfigured to allow airflow in any direction.
Duct System Configurations
- Upflow systems deliver supply air from the top of the furnace into overhead ducts.
- Downflow systems draw return air from the top and push it out near the bottom.
Modulating Furnaces
- Capable of varying heat output from 40% to 100% capacity.
Duct Types in Forced-Air Systems
- Supply ducts are responsible for delivering warm air to conditioned spaces.
- Return ducts bring air back to the furnace for reheating.
