Will replacing the heat exchanger prolong the life of your furnace?
The heat exchanger in a furnace is the primary component in a furnace. That said, their are circuit boards, motors and other components that can also fail regardless of the age of the heat exchanger. In my opinion, if you can afford to replace the furnace, you would be much better off. The cost of the heat exchanger with labor is probably not too much less than replacing the entire furnace.
A condensing gas furnace uses from a condensing type heat exchanger to increase the furnace efficiency?
Yes
Why nothing comes out of home vents when air is turned on?
IF BLOWER MOTER IS RUNNING CHECK FOR PLUGGED: FILTER BLOWER WHEEL OR MOST LIKELY (IF A 90+ FURNACE) THE SECONDARY HEAT EXCHANGER lc
Is a heat exchanger the same as having a furnace?
Heat exchangers are not indentical to furnaces. However, they do serve a similar purpose. Both heat exchangers and furnaces serve important individual purposes. They also aee ulilitzed for different devices.
How do you detect a crack heat exchanger in a furnace?
The most comon way to detect a crack in a heat exchanger is with a visual inspection, removal of the burner assembly and the use of a mirror and flash light. Or a smoke bomb test. A special little smoke bomb is placed in the burner area with the burners OFF. The blower is runnig and you light the smoke bomb, the smoke will draft up the flue vent or if a crack or rust hole is present then the smoke will get sucked into the air stream and come out of the duct work. Other than that using a carbon monoxide detector to see what the CO levels of the furnace are and comparing them to the supply air of the furnace to verify that there is no CO present in the air stream. The best and most accurate way is to contact a local Heating and Air Conditioning specialist or your local gas company should come out and perform a CO test on the furnace. Good Luck and God BLess

How do you plumb a water line to a coal furnace to preheat the water prior to going into a electric hot water heater?
Is the furnace a hydroponic system? If it is you only need to get a heat exchanger (As you don't want the water to your heater flowing through the furnace) and plumb it as another zone in your house. If not you need to find a device for heating water that fits your furnace. and plumb the heat exchanger to that. I believe an heat exchanger is required by code in either case.
Does a forced air furnace have a heat exchanger?
Yes,It depends if it is gas fired or electric.
How do replace a heat exchanger on a furnace?
Your really are better off replacing the whole unit, there was a reason for the heat exchanger to have cracked or malfunction, ether for age or or a mechanical anomaly , you may have not addressed, as of yet.
Is it dangerous to run a gas furnace without the blower motor working?
Yes, you can melt the heat exchanger and start a fire that way
Can an oil furnace be converted to propane?
I have never heard of a way to do this without changing the whole furnace. Propane furnaces are usually thin steal walled heat exchangers with many burners. Oil Furnaces have a large burner chamber and then a small heat exchanger above it. If there is a way, you will need to change the heat exchanger and all electrical components. It may be cheaper in the end to just change the whole furnace.
What raw materials are used in a Cupola furnace?
Two raw materials that are used in a Cupola furnace include rocks and briquettes. The cupola is a vertical furnace that is similar to blastfurnaces.
What is a gas furnace heat exchanger?
The heat exchanger is the metal wall or tubing that is heated up when the burners are ignited. The inside of the heat exchanger allows the toxic flue gases produced from the burners to exhaust out through the furnace flue. The outside of the heat exchanger is where the cold air passes over, becomes warmed, and is blown throughout the ductwork of the home. The heat exchanger is the only wall separating the toxic flue gases from the supply air. If a crack develops in the heat exchanger, there is a potential for carbon monoxide gas to leak over to the supply side and be blown throughout your rooms. Carbon monoxide gas is odorless. The human senses will not detect its presence. Ron Ferrara- DHR Mechanical Services, Inc.
Can you explain what a tube furnace is?
A tube furnace is a type of high-temperature furnace usually used in manufacturing and research laboratories. It is generally cylindrical in shape, and can be either horizontal or vertical.
