"(a) In common with most heat transfer devices, the
maximum efficiency occurs at a low value of
input. In fact, the efficiency gradually decreases
as the input is increased."
Uh oh! Not exactly what was claimed in the last thread about flue temp.

efficiency
Did you ever wonder why all furnaces mfd. before the government got involved were 80% efficient? I figured that with all the different brands and styles of heat-X one of them would be at least 1% more efficient. I copied this article from Handbook of Air Conditioning Heating and Ventilating by Strock, Industrial Press.There was an error rendering this rich post.
