Combustion air vents are single holes installed, usually, next to the furnace, to bring fresh air from outside into the house. These vents are necessary because many homes get sealed up tight to prevent air leakage. So, outdoor air must come in from a controlled source. Essentially, every ...
The most important function of the fume hood is the exhaust function. In the chemical laboratory, various harmful gases, odors, moisture and flammable, explosive and corrosive substances are produced during the experimental operation. In order to protect the safety of users and prevent the diffusion...
Pellet stoves are an easy-to-use, but sophisticated alternative to the traditional wood stove. Here's what to look for and how to install a wood pellet stove in your home.
Photo: Two types of heat exchanger. 1) A shell and tube exchanger. There are lots of tubes in this one and they're easy to see. Photo by Martin Brown and NASA courtesy of Wikimedia Commons. 2) The plate and fin heat exchanger from inside a gas central heating boiler/furnace....
Instead, back your vehicle out right away. Check that your vehicle’s exhaust pipe is not blocked, for example, by snow during the winter. 1 hours • Beginner • 0-50 Carbon monoxide is known as the silent killer because it's a highly toxic gas with no color or odor. It's especi...
The wheels were easy to install with a hole through both ends of the axles, a couple of washers and a pair of cotter pins . My first attempt at a tongue for the cart was made from pipe with a cross support make from the angle iron cut from a metal bed frame, but after I got it...
In an engine or furnace, this process is controlled to achieve efficient and clean combustion, minimizing harmful emissions and maximizing energy output.The first step is to prepare the combustion analyzer for use. This includes ensuring the device is calibrated correctly, checking sensor functionality...
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device and method for recovering a converter exhaust gas, which reduce analysis response delay of an oxygen analysis in gas in an exhaust gas passage after dust collection, and can increase the amount of recovery of converter exhaust gas, in a converter ...
And so if you have a condensing furnace, then that might not be as much of an issue, because what happens with those high efficiency systems is they put the exhaust gases out at such a low temperature that they quickly turn from gas back to water and then the moisture drains...
Install smoke caps in the smaller holes and seal them with furnace cement. Install an increaser on the flue base on the water heater. Always increase the size of the flue pipe as you go to the chimney, and make sure that the flue always pitches upward to avoid trapping exhaust gases. In...
