When we turn up the heat in our homes and workplaces, we must balance our personal need for warmth with the global impact of burning fossil fuels like oil, gas, coal, and biomass. The hot air then flows back out of the vessel into a heat exchanger, where it heats water that is then circulated through building heating systems.
