Power required in case of forced draught as compared to induced draught (for the same draught produced) is___________________?

Correct answer: B. Less

  • A. Same
  • B. Less
  • C. More
  • D. Either more or less; depends on the flue gas density

Explanation

For the same mass flow and draught pressure, forced-draught equipment handles cooler, denser air and therefore a smaller volume. Its fan power is consequently less than that of an induced-draught fan handling hot, expanded flue gas.
