Talk:Annual fuel utilization efficiency

why is it that automatic stack dampers can be installed on gas/propane furnaces but not on oil fired furnaces? With our dependance on fossil fuel it would seem wise to gain the significant improvements in efficiency available from automatic stack dampers. I understand they are not to code for oil furnaces but it seems appropriate to take the necessary steps to overcome any technical/safety problems that exist so that some of the millions of gallons of heating fuel oil wasted up the chimney or out the vent could be saved.−Enalnoltelrac (talk) 16:03, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Link to SEDBUK (UK equivalent)

In the UK we use something called SEDBUK. This is a similar standard test methodology for assessing the performance of boilers in different load conditions including transients. I think SEDBUK stands for Seasonal Efficiency of Domestic Boilers in the UK, the test standard will be UK usage pattern specific. If someone has the time to do a little research I think this page should mention or link to a page on SEDBUK. 213.48.183.82 (talk) 15:23, 3 February 2010 (UTC) ADH

Would it be simpler & correct to state the AFUE is a percentage of the maximum efficiency based on the environmental temperature (Rather than the theoretical efficiency)? Chugiak (talk) 17:29, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

I do not think so. While it may not be well defined, in my opinion theoretical efficiency is simpler and more easily understood than your proposal. Karma Heretic (talk) 03:37, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

Page Title -- Use v. Utilization

Why is "Use" in the title of this page instead of "Utilization"? The referenced standard, ASHRAE 103, defines AFUE as Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency. Also, the web pages from the top Google search results for Annual Fuel Use Efficiency (this article excepted) actually use the word Utilization as well.

There is currently a Wikipedia page for Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency, but it simply redirects here. I believe the main page should be moved into that article, and this one should redirect there. Karma Heretic (talk) 03:37, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

I have went ahead and made this change for now, including redirect for AFUE.Karma Heretic (talk) 04:04, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
