How Heating and Cooling Systems Work

Overtime, we as Humans developed ways to stay warm.  These ideas became more complex and sophisticated as time progressed.  Today, we have many systems to heat our homes.  These systems are much more advanced then our earlier systems in the late 1800's.
4 Most Common Heating Systems:

 

1.  Hot-Water Heating

-This system started by a burner that heats up water and the hot water is pumped into a baseboard convector.  The baseboard convectors create convection currents in the air of the room.

2.  Steam Heating System

-Similar to the Hot Water system, this system heats water by a burner, but instead of water going into the baseboard convector, Steam goes into it.  And the heat is again convected in the air of the room

3.  Radiant Hot-Water Heating System

-This is the exact same as a regular Hot-Water Heating System but instead of a baseboard convector in the room dispersing the hot air.  The hot water goes into pipes that heat the floor and that heat rises into the room

4. Warm-Air Heating System
-Warm air is created by burner and rises through a vent in the room.  The hot air convects throughout the room and when it cools it goes back into a separate duct.  A fan blows the cool air back into the furnace to repeat the cycle.
