Can you harness heat energy?

Yes, but only partially. Part of the energy converted to heat is lost, forevermore.Yes, but only partially. Part of the energy converted to heat is lost, forevermore.Yes, but only partially.

What causes the evaporator to freeze?

The evaporator may be dirty or the condenser(outside unit) may be dirty. You may be low on "freon", indicates a possible leak. Check the filter. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you're asking why the 'outdoor' part freezes, it's too cool outdoors. You should never run a house central A/C when the outdoor temperature is below 60 degrees F. Professionals will tell you that you can blow out a compressor this way. Big $$$$. You may be asking why there's a part in your furnace (that has part of the central A/C inside) that freezes over with ice in the summer. Your first clue will be that the house gradually grows very warm even though the A/C is running, and it worked fine until now. If the indoor air is too hot and damp when you turn on the A/C, you can overwhelm the system's ability to move heat out of your home. Instead of collecting moisture at the heat exchanger inside your furnace and using gravity or a small pump to move the water to a drain or outdoors, the water freezes right on the heat exchanger. The ice acts as an insulator, continues to build and the house will remain warm. This can cause expensive damage as the ice grows too big for the area around it. Switch the thermostat to heat (furnace) instead of cool and raise the temperature setting for about 5 minutes and the ice should all melt, then you can switch back to cooling. Since you've already removed much of the moisture in the house, you'll probably be fine, and the few minutes the furnace was running won't even be noticed.

Can heat energy be converted into other forms of energy?

Heat energy is, to an extent, unusable energy. If you have a heat DIFFERENCE, you can convert part of the heat energy - but only part of it - to other kinds of energy. That part, you can of course convert to practically any other type of energy.


What type of energy can not be converted to another type?

Heat. In fact you can convert part of the heat into other types of energy, only if there is a heat difference between two objects - but you can never convert all heat into other types of energy.


How can electrical energy be produced by heat energy?

For example, in a combustion engine, the heat makes the piston expand, producing movement. If this is part of a generator, it can produce electricity. The idea of a generator is that, when a wire coil moves through a magnetic field, a voltage will be induced.Note: Heat energy can't be converted 100% to other types of energy. Even under ideal circumstances, only part of the heat will be converted.For example, in a combustion engine, the heat makes the piston expand, producing movement.

Should you run the furnace fan along with the central air to help circulate cool air threw out house?

With central air the furnace fan must be running to provide the air to the living space. If the furnace fan is not running then you get no air out of the ducts and the A-coil (the part of the ac system that is in your furnace duct) will freeze and shut down the compressor (the part that is outside).


Why is the central heat blowing cool air?

Try the thermostat, it may have accidentally been reset to a low temperature. Or the furnace (boiler) that supplies the heat may not be working. Or someone may have turned a valve to cut of the supply of heat to that part of the system. Withou tknowing whether you live in an apartment or your own house that's the best that I can suggest.


What are other critical parts of a high efficiency furnace exclude the heat exchanger?

All the parts are critical, each part depends on the other part to operate efficiently and safely.

Air conditioning service?

The compressor and condenser are usually located on the outside air portion of the air conditioner. The evaporator is located on the inside the house, sometimes as part of a furnace. That's the part that heats your house. The working fluid arrives at the compressor as a cool, low-pressure gas.

Can you have two thermostats on one furnace?

Yes, but if it is not zoned, you will just overheat the area with the other thermostat. Which ever thermostat is in a cooler area will make the warm area of the house warmer then you want it. If you have adjustable vents, just close down the vents in the warmer part of the house or where the thermostat is, and the cooler parts will get more heat because it will run longer to make the thermostat reach temp. Don't close them all the way, just start at half and see if this works, adj as you need or until you get the results you want. If they are not adj, you can either get them or be creative to block some of the heat coming out. I also believe you would have a duel stage furnace also.
