加拿大电力公司协会委托进行了一项关于“家用供暖系统中的鼓风机效率”的研究，因为电炉鼓风机对电力公司来说具有不理想的负载特性；它们的负荷峰值通常与公用系统冬季（供暖）和夏季（空调）峰值同时出现。该研究考察了家用炉子中使用的空气处理技术，调查了住宅供暖和冷却系统安装实践，并测量了1960年至1994年间安装的71个现有强制空气加热系统的空气处理性能。本文总结了研究结果，包括炉膛气流、静压、空气处理效率、功率要求和噪声水平的变化。它将新熔炉的空气处理功率要求和气流与熔炉热效率联系起来。单位:双引文:研讨会，ASHRAE交易，1998年，第104卷，pt。 1A，旧金山

A Canadian association of electric utilities commissioned a study on "Blower Efficiency in Domestic Heating Systems" because furnace blowers have undesirable load characteristics for electrical utilities; their loads often peak coincident with utility system winter (heating) and summer (air-conditioning) peaks. The study examined air-handling technologies used in domestic furnaces, surveyed residential heating and cooling system installer practices, and measured air-handling performance of 71 existing forced-air heating systems installed between 1960 and 1994. This paper summarizes study findings, including changes in furnace airflows, static pressures, air-handling efficiencies, power requirements, and noise levels. It relates air-handling power requirements and airflows of new furnaces to furnace thermal efficiency.Units: Dual
