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

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
Heat exchanger for ammonia absorption refrigeration system?
there are two type of heat exchanger in absorption refrigeration, first is liquid heat exchanger and other is gas heat exchanger.both heat exchanger function is same, to transfer heat (hot medium to cold medium) without violate second newton law of thermodynamics. liquids heat exchanger is between boiler and absorber vessel mean while gas heat exchanger between evaporator and absorber.
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.
What is heat exchanger duty?
The duty of a heat exchanger can be defined in an easy way as "The amount of heat exchanged from a fluid at a higher temperature to the fluid at lower temperature in unit time by a heat exchanger is called its duty"
What is the cost of a heat exchanger for a furnace?
The cost of a heat exchanger for a furnace can vary depending on the size and type of furnace, but typically ranges from 300 to 1500.
What is the cost to replace a furnace heat exchanger?
The cost to replace a furnace heat exchanger typically ranges from 500 to 2,000, depending on the type of furnace and the complexity of the installation.
What is the typical cost of replacing a furnace heat exchanger?
The typical cost of replacing a furnace heat exchanger can range from 500 to 2,000, depending on the type of furnace and the complexity of the installation.
What are the steps involved in furnace heat exchanger replacement?
The steps involved in furnace heat exchanger replacement include turning off the power to the furnace, removing the old heat exchanger, installing the new heat exchanger, reconnecting all components, testing the furnace for proper operation, and ensuring everything is working correctly before turning the power back on.

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.
What is the average cost of furnace heat exchanger replacement?
The average cost of furnace heat exchanger replacement is typically between 500 to 2,000, depending on the type of furnace and the complexity of the job.
What is a furnace with a horizontal heat exchanger called?
air handler
A condensing gas furnace uses from a condensing type heat exchanger to increase the furnace efficiency?
Yes
How can I replace the heat exchanger in my furnace?
Replacing the heat exchanger in a furnace involves turning off the power, removing the old heat exchanger, installing the new one, and reconnecting all components. It is recommended to hire a professional HVAC technician for this task to ensure safety and proper installation.
What is the average cost of a heat exchanger furnace?
The average cost of a heat exchanger furnace typically ranges from 2,000 to 5,000, depending on the size, brand, and efficiency of the unit. Additional installation costs may apply.
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.
