Look at the tag on the inside of the furnace that denotes it`s capacity in btu per hour or btuh. Where it says Rated input which is what has to be put in (fuel) to get the Rated output (heat). That btu number can be anything from say 150,000 down to50,000 or even less. But that is the # you want, then divide that # by 1040 and that is your answer in cubic feet of gas used per hour of run time. Natural gas contains 1040 btu per cubic foot when burned so that is where that # came from.

How much liters of gas does a home furnace use an hour?

Gas usage is measured in cubic feet because it is a vapor. Look at the tag on your furnace and find the input rating, natural gas contains roughly 1000 btu per cubic foot. So divide the input rating by 1000 and you have your answer.

When Natural gas is burned in a furnace is it endothermic or exothermic?

When natural gas is burned in a furnace, it undergoes an exothermic reaction, which means it releases heat. The combustion of natural gas produces carbon dioxide, water vapor, and heat energy as byproducts.


What type of energy does a furnace use?

What type of heat source is a gas furnace?

Natural Gas Sometimes referred to as forced air systems, these heating systems burn natural gas, propane, oil, or use electricity to heat your home, and are the most commonly used heating systems. Air is heated in the furnace and then distributed throughout your house via ductwork.


How does a natural gas furnace work?

Natural gas furnaces work by combining natural gas with air and lighting it. This results in a flame that heats up the air and warms the rest of the house.


How big is a flame on a natural gas furnace?

The pilot flame is/should be about 1.5" long, the diameter of a pencil. When the burners are going, the gas is shot into the burner manifold, and the gas sent to the burner is designed to go to the back of the heat exchanger. So, in a typical 80,000 input heater, about 14"-18" long.

What are the differences between a heat pump and a natural gas furnace in terms of efficiency and cost-effectiveness for heating a home?

A heat pump is more energy-efficient than a natural gas furnace because it moves heat rather than generating it. However, natural gas furnaces are often more cost-effective in areas where natural gas is cheaper than electricity.
