to heat a space. the ducts move from the evaporator(a/c) to the heater core, where the core has hot antifreeze going thru it and a blower motor blowing across it produces heat
Hot air balloons have a gas heater that is generally powered by propane. When the pilot turns the heater on, the balloon will fly high due to the hydrocarbon chamber that allows the pilot control of ascent and descent of the hot air balloon.
the hot air from the heater rises forcing the cooler air out. this makes the balloon go up. this is convection
Inside an electric convector heater there is a large heating element similar to - but bigger than - one of the elements inside a bread toaster.When the electricity is switched on the element gets hot and heats up the air that is all around it.Because hot air is lighter than cold air, the hot air rises up and comes out, into the room, through the grilles at the top of the heater. Cold air from the room moves in through the grilles at the bottom of the heater to take the place of the hot air, and this process continues for as long as the heater is switched on.Any movement of air in that way - cold air taking the place of hot air moving up - is called "convection", which is why the appliance is called a convection heater.Electric fan heaters work in a different way: they have a powerful electric fan inside, which sucks in cold air from the room. The fan then blows the air through an electrically heated element and that hot air then comes out of the fan heater into the room.
if it's the outside unit, it will always be hot air. that's the air being pulled out of the house. cold air in, hot air out.
It's the summer time and my heater blows out hot air when on off. What is going on? It is already hot because it's summer and this hot air coming from the vent's is horrible. It last about 3 to 5 min.
The front expansion valve is clogged.
May be a defective thermostat or heater core
You have run out of coolant, or the heater matrix is blocked.
You are low on coolant to the heater core.
if the heater does not blow out warm air change the setting.
check heater fan to see if it is working.
Because your thermostat is probably stuck open
replace anti-freeze, replace thermostat
One of the reasons a 2000 Jeep Cherokee heater would randomly blow cold air and then hot air and then cold might be that there is a problem with the hot/cold duct. The air or a vent might be inadvertently blowing periodically.
The engine needs to be hot in order for you to get got air. On a cold morning, even if you let your truck run for a while, will not get hot enough to blow hot air usually until you drive it for a little bit. When it gets at or near operating temperature there is no reason that it shouldn't blow hot air.
Your front blower motor has gone out. There is a front and a rear blower motor.
Low coolant, failed thermostat, partially plugged heater core...............
