Submitted on Wednesday, September 07, 2022 6:01:23 PM 9. Seasoned Wood
Definition:This is a term referring to fire wood that has been allowed to dry before being burned. This drying process usually takes approximately 12 months but is advantageous as the wood burns easier. Burning dry wood also releases fewer by-products during combustion than freshly cut wood, which holds more than 20% moisture.
Submitted on Saturday, June 18, 2022 6:01:23 PM 10. SECONDARY AIR
Combustion air directed downstream of the primary combustion zone (but still in the appliance) to support the combustion of remaining combustible gases; does not directly influence the rate of primary combustion.

Not part of an appliance, must be installed as close to appliance inlet as possible. Also referred to as a Drip Leg.
Submitted on Wednesday, June 23, 2021 6:01:23 PM 12. SEER
Definition:Seasonal Energy Efficiency ratio. A measure of cooling efficiency for air conditioners. The higher the SEER, the more energy efficient the unit. The government's minimum SEER rating is 10.
Submitted on Friday, September 18, 2020 6:01:23 PM 13. Sight Opening:

Definition:Devices used to detect spillage of flue gas, but similar to high limit switches in that they are activated based on temperature.
Submitted on Tuesday, December 07, 2021 6:01:23 PM 23. Spill Switch:When there is a spillage, this device detects it
Submitted on Thursday, August 25, 2022 6:01:23 PM 24. Spill Switch:
This is a device that detects spillage from the fireplace vent system. The switch will shut the fireplace off in the event of a spillage to ensure no more gasses are emitted.
Submitted on Thursday, January 07, 2021 6:01:23 PM 25. Spillage:
This term refers to fireplaces with vented systems such as a chimney or direct vent. When these become blocked combustion by-products cannot be vented outside and so 'spill' back into the room. This can be dangerous, particularly with wood burning fireplaces, as carbon monoxide may be one of the by-products leaking back into the home. This gas is odorless, colorless and deadly.
Submitted on Sunday, July 11, 2021 6:01:23 PM 26. Spillage:-Process that occurs when flue gases cannot exit the vent system and back up into the dwelling. This usually creates a dangerous situation as incomplete combustion may result in the production of carbon monoxide.
Submitted on Monday, September 13, 2021 6:01:23 PM 27. Spillage:-The process that happens the flue gasses are not able to exit the vent system so they back up into the home. The problem with this is that carbon monoxide occurs, causing silent and odorless poison. When this gas seeps into the home, it can kill.
Submitted on Thursday, July 16, 2020 6:01:23 PM 28. Split System
Definition:A combination heat pump or air conditioner with indoor components such as a furnace or blower coil. Split systems should be matched for optimum efficiency.
