Product Data
A11264
The 986TA Multipoise Variable--Speed Condensing Gas Furnace is
features the two--stage EvolutionR System. The Perfect HeatR
technology two--stage gas valve is at the heart of the comfort
provided by this furnace, along with the variable--speed ECM
blower motor, and two--speed inducer motor. With an Annual Fuel
Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) up to 96.5%, the Evolution
two--stage gas furnace provides exceptional savings as well when
compared to standard gas furnaces. This Evolution Gas Furnace
also features 4--way multipoise installation flexibility, and is

Perfect HeatR Technology — This feature with Adaptive Control
is a proprietary function that promotes homeowner comfort
through two stages of heating. This Bryant furnace offers a
986TA
patented algorithm that continually monitors and adjusts furnace
operation by looking at both current and past conditions to
determine the most effective stage of heating and the amount of
time to run each stage, every cycle.
Perfect HumidityR Technology — The Perfect Humidity system
actively controls both temperature and humidity in the home to
provide the best comfort all year long. Other systems depend on
heating or cooling demand to manage the moisture in the air. But,
Perfect Humidity gives the homeowner the right amount of
humidity day and night, even in mild weather. No other
manufacturer can do this! Perfect Humidity saves energy, too. By
keeping humidity under control, the homeowner can set their
thermostat lower to stay comfortable and save energy.
SmartEvapt Technology — When paired with a compatible
thermostat, this dehumidification feature overrides the cooling
blower off-delay when there is a call for dehumidification. By
deactivating the blower off-delay, SmartEvap technology prevents
condensate that remains on the coil after a dehumidification cycle
from re-humidifying throughout the home. This results in reduced
humidity and a more comfortable indoor environment for the
homeowner.
Unlike competitive systems, SmartEvap technology only overrides
the cooling blower off delay when humidity control is needed.
Once humidity is back in control, SmartEvap re-enables the
energy-saving cooling blower off-delay.
FanOnPlust Technology — Sometimes the constant fan setting
on a standard furnace system can actually reduce homeowner
comfort by providing too much or too little air! Fan On Plus
technology improves comfort all year long by allowing the
homeowner to select the continuous fan speed of their choice using
a compatible thermostat.
HYBRID HEATR Dual Fuel system — This system can provide
more control over your monthly energy bills by automatically
selecting the most economical method of heating. With HYBRID
HEAT, our system automatically switches between the gas furnace
and the electric heat pump as outside temperatures change to
maintain greater efficiency and comfort than with any traditional
single-source heating system. The heat pump also delivers
high-efficiency cooling in the summer.
Power Heatt Igniter — Bryant’s unique SiN igniter is not only
physically robust but it is also electrically robust. It is capable of
running at line voltage and does not require complex voltage
regulators as do other brands. This unique feature further enhances
the gas furnace reliability and continues Bryant’s tradition of
technology leadership and innovation in providing a reliable and
durable product.
(Electronically Commutated Motor) provides variable-speed
operation to optimize comfort levels in the home year round;
features such as passive/active dehumidification, ramping profiles,
and quiet operation. They can provide cooling match
enhancements to increase the effective SEER of select Bryant air
conditioner or heat pump system. This motor does not report back
RPM and static pressure to enable static pressure reporting to the
UI or zoning system, which is required for zoning, active filter
monitoring and system static pressure reporting.
Reliable Heat Exchanger Design — The aluminized steel,
clamshell primary heat exchanger was reengineered to achieve
greater efficiency out of a smaller size. The first two passes of the
heat exchanger are based on the current 80% product, a design
with more than ten years of field-proven performance and success.
These innovations, paired with the continuation of a crimped,
no-weld seam create an efficient, robust design for this essential
component.
The condensing heat exchanger, a stainless steel fin and tube
design, is positioned in the furnace to extract additional heat.
Stainless steel coupling box componentry between heat exchangers
has exceptional corrosion resistance in both natural gas and
propane applications.
Media Filter Cabinet — Enhanced indoor air quality in the home
is made easier with our media filter cabinet—a standard accessory
on all deluxe furnaces. When installed as a part of the system, this
cabinet allows for easy and convenient addition of a Bryant high
efficiency air filter.
4-Way Multipoise Design — One model for all applications –
there is no need to stock special downflow or horizontal models
when one unit will do it all. The new heat exchanger design allows
these units to achieve the certified AFUE in all positions.
Direct or Single-pipe Venting, or Optional Ventilated
Combustion Air
— This furnace can be installed as a 2-pipe
(Direct Vent) furnace, in an optional ventilated combustion air
application, or in single-pipe, non-direct vent applications. This
provides added flexibility to meet diverse installation needs.
Sealed Combustion System — This furnace brings in combustion
air from outside the furnace, which results in especially quiet
operation. By sealing the entire combustion vestibule, the entire
furnace can be made quieter, not just the burners.
Insulated Casing — Foil-faced insulation in heat exchanger
section of the casing minimizes heat loss. The acoustical insulation
in the blower compartment reduces air and motor noise for quiet
operation.
Monoport Burners — The burners are specially designed and
finely tuned for smooth, quiet combustion and economical
operation.
Bottom Closure — Factory--installed for side return; easily
removable for bottom return. The multi-use bottom closure can
also serve for roll-out protection in horizontal applications, and act
as the bottom closure for the optional return air base accessory.
