G20RE SERIES UNITS

I – INTRODUCTION

G20RE and G20RXE series units are mid–efficiency
downflow gas furnaces with Duracurve

  heat ex-

changers formed of  aluminized steel. G20RE units
come in heating capacities of 50,000 to 150,000 Btuh. In
cooling applications, blowers are equipped to handle
up to 5 tons of cooling capacity. Refer to Engineering
Handbook for proper sizing.

Units are factory supplied for use with natural gas. A
conversion kit to LPG operation is available for the
G20RE only. All units are equipped with an electronic
ignition. G20RXE models meet the California Nitrogen
Oxides (NO

x

) Standards and California Seasonal Effi-

ciency requirements. All units use a redundant gas
valve to assure safety shut–off as required by A.G.A.

Featured on G20RE series is a burner box damper as-
sembly located on the intake side of the burners. A
damper door in the burner box shuts during unit off
cycles to retain heat in the unit. A damper prove switch
ensures that damper is open before gas valve is ener-
gized. Since the G20RE furnaces have atmospheric
burners there is no induced draft motor. All G20RE
units have a draft diverter which allows the use of stan-
dard single wall vent connectors.
