Radiant heat - ✔✔Travels in straight lines e.g. how sunlight travels
Convection heat - ✔✔applicable to air and water, where heat moves from a warm
spot to a colder spot, heated molecules become lighter and rise, displacing cooler and
heavier particles which fall.
Conduction Heat - ✔✔movement of heat through a material, relevant to the choice
of materials used in housing construction
Electric Fan Heater controls - ✔✔on/off, Thermostat, fan speed, heat setting
Electric convector heater controls - ✔✔on/off, thermostat, timer
electric storage heater controls - ✔✔input/charge, output/boost, on/off. timer
Fan assisted storage heater/quantum storage heater - ✔✔on/off, thermostat, heat
settings, timer
electric radiant fire/ bar fire - ✔✔on/off, thermostat, heat settings, timer
electric infra-red heater/ halogen heater - ✔✔on/off, thermostat, heat settings, timer
,electric oil filled radiator - ✔✔on/off, thermostat, heat settings, timer
Open fronted gas radiant/ convector fire (gas fired could have back boiler behind) -
✔✔Ignition, temp setting, boiler thermostat if there is a back boiler
Gas decorative effect fire, open and close fronted - ✔✔Ignition, temp setting
Gas convector heater/ wall heaters (room sealed) - ✔✔Ignition, temp setting
Closed solid room heater - ✔✔Damper to control air flow, boiler thermostat if there
is a back boiler
Bottle gas heater (portable, liquid petroleum gas LPG) - ✔✔ignition, temp setting
4 main safety issues when using a fuel burning appliance - ✔✔- Carbon monoxide
poisoning and fires
- Fit a smoke alarm, test every month and replace after 10 years
- Never leave candles, cigarettes unattended
- Ensure there is good ventilation
How often are landlords required to carry out a safety check with a Gas Safe registered
engineer? - ✔✔Every 12 months
Warm air heating system - ✔✔- distributes warm air around the home
- Air is heated by a central unit using gas, oil or electricity
- Distributed using ducts and a fan to drive out the warm air into rooms.
, - Heat is emitted via grilles on the floor or at the bottom of the walls
- Thermostat and timing controls
Wet central heating systems - ✔✔- Hot water is circulated around the home via
radiators and pipes.
- Source of hot water is the boiler which heats up water using fuels such as natural gas,
oil, LPG or solid fuel
- Gives out heat via convection
Conventional boiler/system boiler - ✔✔Hot water in cylinder is heated indirectly via a
heat exchanger within the cylinder. Can be fuelled by natural gas, LPG or oil. Can be
condensing or non-condensing. Hot water stored in the cylinder.
Combination boiler - ✔✔Extra heat exchanger within the boiler allows it to heat up
water quicker. Householders only pay for the hot water they use. Produce hot water for
both space and water heating systems. Fuelled by natural gas, LPG or oil. Can be
condensing or non-condensing. Doesn't need a hot water cylinder.
Soild fuel room heater with back boiler - ✔✔Situated in fireplace in order to use
existing flue. Hot water is heated by burning solid fuel in the grate. Type of conventional
boiler. 4 main types: open fire with back boiler, closed room heater with back boiler,
free standing manually fed boiler, free standing automatically fed boiler.
Gas back boiler - ✔✔Situated in a fireplace to use the existing flue. Water is in a
metal container which is heated by burning gas. Type of conventional boiler.
Condensing Boiler - ✔✔Has a large heat exchanger or two heat exchangers which
capture the heat from flue gases and reuses it. Can be a conventional boiler or
combination boiler. More efficient as they extract more heat than non-condensing
models.
