AFUE — an abbreviation for annual fuel utilization efficiency, a measure of the efficiency of a gas furnace. The rating is designed to represent the percentage of the fuel energy actually delivered as heat energy, averaged over the course of a… … Dictionary of units of measurement
Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency — (AFUE) The measure of seasonal or annual efficiency of a residential heating furnace or boiler. It takes into account the cyclic on/off operation and associated energy losses of the heating unit as it responds to changes in the load, which in… … Energy terms
Annual fuel utilization efficiency — The annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE; pronounced A Few ) is a thermal efficiency measure of combustion equipment like furnaces, boilers, and water heaters. The AFUE differs from the true thermal efficiency in that it is not a steady state … Wikipedia
Condensing boiler — A condensing boiler utilizes the latent heat of water produced from the burning of fuel, in addition to the standard sensible heat, to increase its efficiency. Contents 1 Principles of work 2 Usage 3 Efficiency 4 … Wikipedia
Furnace — For other uses, see Furnace (disambiguation). Industrial Furnace from 1907 A furnace is a device used for heating. The name derives from Latin fornax, oven. In American English and Canadian English, the term furnace on its own is generally used… … Wikipedia
Fuel efficiency — is a form of thermal efficiency, meaning the efficiency of a process that converts chemical potential energy contained in a carrier fuel into kinetic energy or work. Overall fuel efficiency may vary per device, which in turn may vary per… … Wikipedia
Energy conservation — This article is about decreasing energy consumption. For the law of conservation of energy in physics, see Conservation of energy. Sustainable energy … Wikipedia
Forced-air — A Forced air or Warm air heating system is one which uses air as its heat transfer medium. These systems use ductwork and vents as a means of air distribution. The return plenum carries the air from several large return grills (vents) to a… … Wikipedia
Thermal efficiency — In thermodynamics, the thermal efficiency (eta {th} ,) is a dimensionless performance measure of a thermal device such as an internal combustion engine, a boiler, or a furnace, for example. The input, Q {in} ,, to the device is heat, or the heat… … Wikipedia
