  • Page 39: Why The Chimney Should Penetrate The Highest Heated Space

    Osburn 2400 Installation and Operation Manual 8.4.2 WHY THE CHIMNEY SHOULD PENETRATE THE HIGHEST HEATED SPACE When it is cold outside, the warm air in the house is buoyant so it tends to rise. This tendency of warm air to rise creates a slight pressure difference in the house. Called ‘stack effect’, it produces a slightly negative pressure low in the house (relative to outside) and a slightly positive pressure zone high in the house.

  • Page 40: Combustion Air Supply In Mobile Homes
