2. Annual fuel utilization efficiency - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annual_fuel_utilization...

   The annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE; pronounced 'A'-'Few' or 'A'-'F'-'U'-'E') is a thermal efficiency measure of space-heating furnaces and boilers.The AFUE differs from the true 'thermal efficiency' in that it is not a steady-state, peak measure of conversion efficiency, but instead attempts to represent the actual, season-long, average efficiency of that piece of equipment ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furnace_(central_heating)

   High efficiency condensing gas furnaces typically achieve between 90% and 98% AFUE. [3] A condensing gas furnace includes a sealed combustion area, combustion draft inducer and a secondary heat exchanger. The primary gain in efficiency for a condensing gas furnace, as compared to a mid-efficiency forced-air or forced-draft furnace, is the ...

   DOE estimates that this efficiency improvement, and the resulting lower gas bills, would save consumers $1.9 billion annually — or $500 over the lifetime of each new furnace.

5. Thermal efficiency - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_efficiency

   The thermal efficiency of modern steam turbine plants with reheat cycles can reach 47%, and in combined cycle plants, in which a steam turbine is powered by exhaust heat from a gas turbine, it can approach 60%. [4] Brayton cycle: gas turbines and jet engines The Brayton cycle is the cycle used in gas turbines and jet engines. It consists of a ...

   The Energy Department issued its final efficiency rules for residential furnaces on Friday, which it projects will save Americans over $1.5 billion in heating expenses per year. The updated ...

7. Forced-air gas - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced-air_gas

   High-efficiency condensing furnaces condense the water vapor (one of the by-products of gas combustion) and extract the latent heat to pre-heat the incoming furnace airflow, using a second heat exchanger. [2] This increases the efficiency (energy delivered into the building vs. heating value of gas purchased) to over 90%.
