Bottom Return Air Inlet
These furnaces are shipped with bottom closure panel installed in
bottom return-- air opening. Remove and discard this panel when
bottom return air is used. To remove bottom closure panel, see Fig.
27 and 28.
Side Return Air Inlet
These furnaces are shipped with bottom closure panel installed in
bottom return --air opening. This panel MUST be in place when
side return air inlet(s) are used without a bottom return air inlet.
Not all horizontal furnaces are approved for side return air
connections See Fig. 24. Where required by code, seal bottom
closure to furnace with tape, mastic, or other durable sealing
method.

HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in fire, personal
injury or death.
Never operate a furnace without a filter or filtration device
installed. Never operate a furnace with filter or filtration
device access doors removed.

WARNING
There are no provisions for an internal filter in these furnaces. An
external filter rack is required and is purchased separately . A field
supplied accessory air cleaner may also be used in place of the filter
rack.
For upflow applications, the filter can be installed on either side of
the furnace, the bottom of the furnace or any combination of side
and bottom of the furnace. (See Fig. 22)
For downflow applications, the filter rack (or field supplied
accessory air cleaner) must only be connected to the bottom
opening on the furnace (See Fig. 23).
For horizontal applications, the filter rack (or field supplied
accessory air cleaner) can be connected to the bottom opening on
the furnace. For side return use in the horizontal position, refer to
Fig. 24. If both side and bottom openings are used in Fig. 24, each
opening used will require a filter.
A filter rack or any field supplied accessory air cleaner can also be
installed in the common return duct prior to entering the return air
opening in any orientation.
Filter and Return Duct Sizing
Pressure drop must be taken into account when sizing filters, filter
racks, IAQ devices, and associated system ductwork. See Table 5
for a comparison of Pressure Drop (initial/clean resistance to
airflow) versus Airflow for a variety of filter media types and sizes.
These are representative numbers. Consult the filter or IAQ device
manufacturers’ specification sheet for performance data for a
particular filter media or IAQ device.
Design the filter and associated ductwork for the best match of
pressure drop versus filter size. Best practice usually chooses filter
systems with pressure drops under 0.2 in. W.C. (50 Pa), with the
best blower electrical efficiency and system airflow performance
occurring with filter pressure drops under 0.1 in. W.C. (25 Pa).
Due to the relatively high pressure drops of 1 -- in. (25 mm) thick
after--market filter media, it is recommended that the filtration
system be designed for at least 2--in. (51 mm) thick media.
TIPS FROM CONTRACTORS: Install a media cabinet capable
of incorporating a 4--in. (102 mm) thick media filter. This allows
room for future upgrades to other IAQ devices.
Design the duct system FIRST to determine how much
pressure drop may be allowed in the filter system. See the Air
Ducts section. Excessive filter pressure drop often
compromises system airflow and duct performance, causes
inadequate airflow to the furthest ends of the duct system, as
well as causes excess noise and higher than anticipated
electrical consumption.
NOTICE
Provide duct transitions, as required, to smoothly transition airflow
from the return duct system to the filter (or IAQ device) to the
furnace when the dimensions of the ductwork or furnace return air
opening do not match the required filter or IAQ device dimensions.
See the instructions supplied with factory--accessory duct adapters.
