Abstract

A heater without a chimney is installed inside of a residence. An induced draft system is installed outside of the residence. The heater exhaust gases are connected to the induced draft system with an insulated through the wall exhaust pipe which is cooled by mixing cool outside air with the exhaust gases as they are exhausted to the atmosphere.
