Natural Gass has no color or odor, and _________ toxic

Is not

Natural gas is __________ air

Lighter than

There are ___________ types of burners relative to the draft

Three

The lack of delusion air may cause a condition of ___________ at the furnace

Backdraft


Back drive occurs when the combustion gases are not drafting or rising up to the chimney but are, instead, coming backward into the living area of the building. This is a hazardous situation, since carbon monoxide could be entering the dwelling.

What is a heat-conveying medium

The heat conveying medium is what carries the heat from the source to the enclosure being heated

What is dilution air

Draft air for a furnace

Burning Natural Gass with oxygen yields carbon dioxide, water vapor, and ________

Heat

There are ____________ types of burners relative to the draft

Three

____________ Refers to the flow of gases through the heat generating equipment

Draft

What is an air handler?

An air handler contains the components that move the air through your home, called the blower. Usually works with both the heating and cooling component of your HVAC system.

Most heating systems can be categorized in _______ ways

Four

Return air must not be taken from a closet, bathroom, toilet room, kitchen, garage, mechanical room, boiler room, furnace room, or unconditioned attic.


T/F

True

What is a damper?

A damper is advised to use to alter the volume of air passing through a confined cross-section by changing the size of the cross-sectional area

Round or square supply ducts that are connected to and branch off the extended duct are called

Side takeoff

The warm air in a gravity warm air heating system rises up through warm air ducks or pipes that are also known as

Stacks

The efficiency of the air circulation in a house with a gravity warm air heating system depends on the temperature difference between the warm air _________ and the cool air _____________.

Rising ....... falling

In a forced warm-air heating system the cool air_______.

Returns through the docks and back to the furnace, where it is reheated.

What is a thermocouple?

A device that senses heat. It’s used in gas furnace is having a standing pilot light. It determines whether the pilot flame is lit before the main gas valve is open to supply gas to the burners.

What is a fan and limit control?

A safety device. It controls the operation of the furnace within the temperature range, usually between 80° and 150°.


It will shut the gas off, if it gets too hot.

If the heating system is a high-efficiency, gas fired furnace, then the heating conveying medium is
