Heating System Types & How They Work
Heat Distribution
Heat is distributed in an oil-fired heating system in one of three ways: warm air through vents, hot water through baseboards, or steam through radiators. Thermostats sense when the room temperature has fallen below your desired setting, and they send a signal to your heating system to provide more heat for your home.
Once your oil burner has been engaged, heating oil from your oil tank travels to the burner by way of a pump where it gets injected into the burner via a fuel nozzle that atomizes it into a fine mist to be ignited in the combustion chamber.
Heating System Types
In a warm-air heating system, your furnace heats air. The blower then sends the heated air up through ducts and out of the vents in your floors, walls, or ceilings. The air gets drawn back down to the furnace through a return duct, and the cycle repeats.
There are two types of water-based systems: hot water and steam. Water for both systems is heated in either a cast iron or steel boiler before it is dispersed throughout your home.
In a hot water system, the heated water is circulated throughout the house by radiators or baseboards.
In a steam system, water turns to steam and rises through pipes to the radiators.
Emissions from the combustion of fuel and air exit the system through a flue pipe that runs out of your home through the chimney.
