Combustion Air Quality
CAUTION:
Combustion air must not be drawn from a
corrosive atmosphere.
To maximize heat exchanger life, the combustion air must be
free of chemicals that can form corrosive acidic compounds
in the combustion gases. The recommended source of
combustion air is to use outdoor air. However, the use of
indoor air in most applications is acceptable except as listed:
• If the furnace is installed in a confined space, it is required
that the necessary combustion air come from the outdoors
by way of attic, crawl space, air duct, or direct opening.
For Installations in confined spaces, see page 6 for
combustion air requirements.
• Installations in these locations may require outdoor air for
combustion, due to chemical exposures:
Commercial buildings
Buildings with indoor pools
Furnaces installed in laundry rooms
Furnaces installed in hobby or craft rooms
Furnaces installed near chemical storage areas
• Exposure to the following substances in the combustion
air supply may require outdoor air for combustion:
Permanent wave solutions
Chlorinated waxes and cleaners
Chlorine based swimming pool chemicals
Water softening chemicals
De-icing salts or chemicals
Carbon Tetrachloride
Halogen type refrigerants
Cleaning solvents (perchloroethylene)
Printing inks, paint removers, varnishes, etc.
Hydrochloric Acid
Cements and glues
Antistatic fabric softeners
Masonry acid washing materials
Clearances to Combustible Materials
This furnace is Design Certified in the U.S. and Canada by
CSA International for the minimum clearances to combustible
materials. NOTE: The furnace is listed for installation on
combustible or non-combustible flooring. However, wood
is the only combustible flooring allowed for installation.
Downflow models must use the appropriate subase kit when
installing over a wood floor. To obtain model number and
specific clearance information, refer to the furnace rating
plate, located inside of the furnace cabinet.
Access for positioning and servicing the unit must be
considered when locating unit. The need to provide clearance
for access to panels or doors may require clearance distances
over and above the requirements. Allow 24 inches minimum
clearance from the front of the unit. However 36 inches
is strongly recommended. See Figure 1, (page 5) for
minimum clearance requirements.
Heating Load
The furnace should be sized to provide the design heating
load requirement. Heating load estimates can be made
using approved methods available from Air Conditioning
Contractors of America (Manual J); American Society of
Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers; or
other approved engineering methods. Excessive oversizing
of the furnace could cause the furnace and/or vent to
fail prematurely.
The ductwork should be appropriately sized to the capacity of
the furnace to ensure its proper airflow rating. For installations
above 2,000 ft., the furnace should have a sea level input
rating large enough that it will meet the heating load after
deration for altitude.
