Excerpt from Heating and Ventilation, Vol. 1: Systems of Warming
Any system of warming must include, first the combustion of fuel which may take place in a fireplace, stove, steam or hotwater boiler; second a system of transmission, by means of which the heat may be carried, with as little loss as possible, to the place where it is to be used for warming, and third, a system of diffusion, which will convey the heat to the air in a room and to its walls, floors, etc., in the most economical way.
Stoves. The simplest and cheapest form of heating is the stove. The heat is diffused by radiation and convection directly to the objects and air in the room, and no special system of transmission is required. The stove is used largely in the country and is especially adapted to the warming of small dwelling houses and isolated rooms.
Furnaces. Next in cost of installation and simplicity of operation is the hot-air furnace. In this method, the air is drawn over heated surfaces and then transmitted through pipes, while at a high temperature, to the rooms where heat is required. Furnaces are used largely for warming dwelling houses, also churches, halls and schoolhouses of small size. They are more costly than stoves, but have some advantages over that form of heating. They require less care, as several rooms may be warmed from a single furnace; and, being placed in the basement all dust from coal and ashes is kept from the rooms above.
In construction a furnace is a large stove with a combustion chamber of ample size over the fire; the whole being enclosed in a casing of sheet iron or brick. The bottom of the casing is provided with a cold-air inlet, and at the top are pipes which connect with registers placed in the various rooms to be heated.
