Now this air can be fed into the boiler furnace by means of forcing it through a fan installed before the furnace. Such a design is called forced draught. This creates a higher pressure inside the furnace compared to the atmospheric pressure.

Alternatively, air can be pulled into the furnace by means of installing fans after the furnace. This design is called induced draught. This creates a negative pressure inside the furnace compared to the atmospheric pressure.

When both of these systems exist in the same furnace then it is called a balanced draught. The balanced draught design maintains flow of air inside the furnace but with minimum pressure difference from the atmospheric pressure.
