Furnaces

The address of the Cumberland Furnace Historic Village Inc is: Po Box 242, Cumberland Furnace, TN 37051

Not if the furnace exceeds 5000 watts.

Well first of all..

You want heat in your house when it's cold, RIGHT? So you turn on the heater with the knob.. and the heat comes out of the vents. No vents = explosion.

And basically.. no vents as I said.. explosion, because the gas has nowhere to go so the pressure will build up and BOOM.. flames.

Blast Chamber happened in 1996.

The Chimney Sweeper was created in 1794.

The temperature range in a cupola furnace typically varies between 1,400°C to 1,600°C (2,552°F to 2,912°F). This high temperature is necessary for melting ferrous metals, primarily cast iron, as well as for facilitating the reactions that occur during the melting process. The precise temperature can depend on factors such as the type of charge materials and the specific design of the furnace.

The real name of Chimney Swifts is Chaetura pelagica. These small, agile birds are known for their swift, acrobatic flight and their tendency to roost in chimneys and other vertical structures. They primarily feed on insects and are recognized for their distinctive cigar-shaped bodies and long, pointed wings.

You can find a schematic for a gas furnace on the website, Uncionradio.

The average life expectancy of a home gas furnace is typically between 15 to 30 years, depending on factors such as maintenance, usage, and the quality of the unit. Regular maintenance, including annual inspections and filter changes, can help extend its lifespan. Older furnaces may become less efficient and require more repairs as they age, prompting homeowners to consider replacement. It's advisable to assess the unit's performance and efficiency as it approaches the end of its expected lifespan.

Sensitive equipment like a furnace machine requires the services of a qualified electrician. Call one to have the copper pad in the electric arc furnace machine fixed.

Yes and no.

An unmodified oil burner will burn far more kerosene than fuel oil for which it is designed. If you replace the nozzle with a smaller nozzle and adjust the air, using an orsatz [orsat gas analyzer], a device for determining the combustion efficiency of the flame, you will be able to use kerosene.

* interesting fact: Kerosene is also known as #1 fuel oil, or JP5 jet fuel.

Mixing kerosene with #2 fuel oil, (home heating oil) in small amounts, should have no appreciable effect on the furnace efficiency.

The distance is different in different states. Call your county building code office and ask the question.

Blast furnace waste gas is mainly nitrogen because nitrogen makes up about 78% of the atmosphere and is used as the primary gas for the blast furnace process. During the process, the injected air reacts with the fuel and iron ore to form nitrogen-rich waste gas.

A muffle furnace with a lid is used for determining volatile matter in fuel samples to prevent the escape of volatile components during heating. The lid helps to contain the volatile gases and prevent them from escaping, ensuring accurate measurements of the volatile matter content in the sample. This setup allows for controlled heating conditions and accurate determination of the sample's volatile matter content.

A furnace should cycle on and off after every 4 hours.

The furnace that is working properly should cycle on and off after every 3 - 4 hours.

Furnace oil, which is typically heavier and has a different composition than standard diesel fuel, is generally not recommended for use in diesel engines. It can cause issues such as clogging fuel filters, increasing emissions, and damaging engine components. If you consider using furnace oil, it's essential to check your engine's specifications and consult with the manufacturer to avoid potential harm.

You can find the wiring diagram for the Carrier Furnace model 58SC055 in the installation manual that typically comes with the unit. If you do not have the manual, you can access it on Carrier's official website under the customer service or product support section. Additionally, HVAC forums and websites often have downloadable resources for specific models. For a physical copy, consider contacting Carrier customer support or a local HVAC technician.

Yes you can.

When looking to buy a new furnace, take into consideration the design and complication of the product as if it seems to be too complex then this could result in an accident when trying to use it. Also, take into consideration the condition of the furnace as if it is not very good then this could also lead to health and safety issues.

A top damper or cap damper is a metal spring door placed at the top of the chimney with a long metal chain that allows one to open and close the damper from the fire place.

A chimney cover is useful because they help increase the draft within the house. They also keep debris such as leaves and twigs from floating into the house.

A few causes of chimney fires include lighting a fire in a fireplace that has not been maintained and kept clean, and stacking a fire too high in the fireplace.

Chimney hoods can ranged in price from $700 to $1600. There are several factors that impact the price, including brand, size, style, features, and material.
