Furnace

From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.

A Furnace is a device used for heating. The word has two different meanings, though:

  • In American English, it is the name for a heating system in the house. British English usually calls such systems boiler, heater or kiln.
  • There are industrial furnaces; these provide the heat so some process can take place. An example of such a furnace would be the use in metallurgic processing. Metallurgic processing is used to make or change iron or steel.
