The description has been lost in the translation! Furnaces in the US are
found in most basements. We call them central heating units. If you go to a
major air conditioning/central heating company you can buy a life time
supply. The filters are a stiff open fibre material much like a ScotchBrite
dishwashing pad (these have also been used to do the same thing).Bob
