- Abstract
- The temperature distributions attained with various types of heating devices or systems were determined in the test bungalow at the National Bureau of Standards. The heating appliances tested included a hot-water heating system, floor furnaces located in several different positions, space heaters with fans, and electric and oil-burning warm-air furnaces. Each heating device was observed under a variety of weather conditions. The conditions inside and the weather outside the laboratory were recorded for comparison. Vertical temperature differences were computed for 32 deg F outside on the assumption that such differences are proportional to the inside-outside temperature difference.
