Direct heat and central heat

The heating devices transmit heat energy directly to the space where heating system is present. Electricity is the direct source of direct heating to the heating apparatus. Resistance wires run through heating units or may be strung interior walls, ceilings or floors; individual heating thermostats regulate the temperature in each room for proper and even heating. Majority of home owners, however, have central- heating systems.

In practical terms, central heating systems are made up ...

Heat Producer

This may be an oil, gas or wood burner, an electric heater or a heat pump.

Heat Distributor

There are often three types of heat distributors, one for each type of heat exchanger. In a hot-water system, water is forced through the heat exchanger by a pump and sent through pipes to convectors, a type of radiator. Steam rises under its own pressure from the exchanger, going through pipes to radiators.

Heat Exchanger

This unit is known as a furnace. The air, water or steam passes through passageways built inside the heat exchanger that keep it separated from the combustion gases of the burner. Any of these heat exchangers can be hooked up to any of the heat producers.

These are all about the devices and units associated with the heating system.
