• Chemical storage areas
If air is exposed to the following substances, it should not be used for
combustion air, and outdoor air may be required 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 (such as perchloroethylene)
• Printing inks, paint removers, varnishes, etc.
• Hydrochloric acid
• Cements and glues
• Antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers
• Masonry acid washing materials
All fuel-burning equipment must be supplied with air for fuel
combustion. Sufficient air must be provided to avoid negative pressure
in the equipment room or space. A positive seal must be made between
the furnace cabinet and the return-air duct to prevent pulling air from the
burner area and from draft safeguard opening.
LOCATION RELATIVE TO COOLING EQUIPMENT
The cooling coil must be installed parallel with, or on the downstream
side of the unit to avoid condensation in the heat exchangers. When
installed parallel with the furnace, dampers or other flow control must
prevent chilled air from entering the furnace. If the dampers are
manually operated, they must be equipped with means to prevent
operation of either unit unless the damper is in the full-heat or full-cool
position.
AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
Provisions for adequate combustion, ventilation, and dilution air must be
provided in accordance with:
• U.S. installations: Section 9.3 of the current edition of NFGC
NFPA54/ANSI Z223.1, Air for Combustion and Ventilation, and
applicable provisions of the local building codes.
The requirements for combustion and ventilation air depend upon
whether or not the furnace is located in a space having a volume of at
least 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTUh input rating for all gas appliances
installed in the space.
• Spaces having less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTUh require the
OUTDOOR COMBUSTION AIR METHOD.
• Spaces having at least 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTUh may use the
INDOOR COMBUSTION AIR, STANDARD or KNOWN AIR
INFILTRATION METHOD.
Outdoor Combustion Air Method
1. Provide the space with sufficient air for proper combustion,
ventilation, and dilution of flue gases using permanent horizontal or
vertical duct(s) or opening(s) directly communicating with the
outdoors or spaces that freely communicate with the outdoors.
2.
illustrates how to provide TWO OUTDOOR OPENINGS,
one inlet and one outlet combustion and ventilation air opening, to
the outdoors.
a. One opening MUST commence within 12-in. (300 mm) of the
ceiling and the second opening MUST commence within 12-in.
(300 mm) of the floor.
b. Size openings and ducts per
and
.
*Minimum dimensions of 3 in. (76 mm).
NOTE: Use any of the following combinations of openings:
A&B, C&D, D&E, F&G

CAUTION
!
PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE
Improper use or installation of this furnace may cause premature
furnace component failure.
This furnace is not permitted to be used for heating of buildings under
construction.
CAUTION
!
FURNACE CORROSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in furnace damage.
Air for combustion must not be contaminated by halogen compounds,
which include fluoride, chloride, bromide, and iodide. These elements
can corrode heat exchangers and shorten furnace life. Air contaminants
are found in aerosol sprays, detergents, bleaches, cleaning solvents,
salts, air fresheners, and other household products.
WARNING
!
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death.
The operation of exhaust fans, kitchen ventilation fans, clothes dryers,
attic exhaust fans or fireplaces could create a NEGATIVE PRESSURE
CONDITION at the furnace. Make-up air MUST be provided for the
ventilation devices, in addition to that required by the furnace. Refer to
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Hazard warning in venting section of
these instructions to determine if an adequate amount of make-up air is
available.
