5. Boiler (power generation) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_(power_generation)

   The steam piping (with steam flowing through it) is directed through the flue gas path in the boiler furnace. This area typically is between 1,300–1,600 °C (2,372–2,912 °F ). Some superheaters are radiant type (absorb heat by thermal radiation ), others are convection type (absorb heat via a fluid i.e. gas) and some are a combination of ...

8. Boiler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler

   Early boilers provided this stream of air, or draught, through the natural action of convection in a chimney connected to the exhaust of the combustion chamber. Since the heated flue gas is less dense than the ambient air surrounding the boiler, the flue gas rises in the chimney, pulling denser, fresh air into the combustion chamber. [citation ...

   65–97% for gas-fired heating; 80–89% for oil-fired and; 45–60% for coal-fired heating. [26] Oil storage tanks, especially underground storage tanks, can also impact the environment. Even if a building's heating system was converted from oil long ago, oil may still be impacting the environment by contaminating soil and groundwater.
