Important

Environmental Concerns!

Scientific research has shown that certain man-made chemicals can affect the earth’s naturally occurring stratospheric ozone layer when released to the atmosphere. In particular, several of the identified chemicals that may affect the ozone layer are refrigerants that contain Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon (CFCs) and those containing Hydrogen, Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon (HCFCs). Not all refrigerants containing these compounds have the same potential impact to the environment. Trane advocates the responsible handling of all refrigerants-including industry replacements for CFCs such as HCFCs and HFCs.

Responsible Refrigerant Practices!

Trane believes that responsible refrigerant practices are important to the environment, our customers, and the air conditioning industry. All technicians who handle refrigerants must be certified. The Federal Clean Air Act (Section 608) sets forth the requirements for handling, reclaiming, recovering and recycling of certain refrigerants and the equipment that is used in these service procedures. In addition, some states or municipalities may have additional requirements that

must also be adhered to for responsible management of refrigerants. Know the applicable laws and follow them.

WARNING

Proper Field Wiring and Grounding

Required!

All field wiring MUST be performed by qualified personnel. Improperly installed and grounded field wiring poses FIRE and ELECTROCUTION hazards. To avoid these hazards, you MUST follow requirements for field wiring installation and grounding as described in NEC and your local/state electrical codes. Failure to follow code could result in death or serious injury.

WARNING

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Required!

Installing/servicing this unit could result in exposure to electrical, mechanical and chemical hazards.

Before installing/servicing this unit, technicians MUST put on all Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) recommended for the work being undertaken. ALWAYS refer to appropriate MSDS sheets and OSHA guidelines for proper PPE.

When working with or around hazardous chemicals, ALWAYS refer to the appropriate MSDS sheets and OSHA guidelines for information on allowable personal exposure levels, proper respiratory protection and handling recommendations.

General Information

Description

The duct furnace design is certified by ETL for use with natural and LP (propane) gases. ANSI and NFPA Standards as well as Canadian installation codes referred to in this manual are the ones that were applicable at the time that the design was certified. In addition, the duct furnace may be installed on the downstream side of a cooling unit, without need of a bypass duct.

If the unit is to be installed at an altitude exceeding 2,000 feet (610 m) above sea level, derate the input by

4 percent for each 1,000 foot (305 m) rise above sea level. Special orifices are required for installations above 2,000 feet (610 m).

When units are installed in Canada, any reference to derations at altitudes in excess of 2000 feet (610 m) are to be ignored. At altitudes of 2000 to 4500 feet (610 to 1372 m), the units must be orificed to 90 percent of the normal altitude rating, and be so marked in accordance with the ETL certification.

General Safety Information

Important: This product must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter when installed within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

WARNING

Safety Alert!

You MUST follow all recommendations below. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury.

Installation must be made in accordance with local codes, or in absence of local codes with the latest edition of ANSI Standard Z223.1 (N.F.P.A. No. 54) National Fuel Gas Code.

All of the ANSI and NFPA Standards referred to in these installation instructions are those that were applicable at the time the design of this appliance was certified. The ANSI Standards are available from the CSA Information Services, 1-800-463-6727. The NFPA Standards are available from the National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269. These duct furnaces are designed for use in airplane hangars when installed in accordance with current ANSI/NFPA No. 409 and in public garages when installed in accordance with current NFPA No. 88A and NFPA No. 88B.

If installed in Canada, the installation must conform with local building codes, or in absence of local building codes, with CSA-B149.1 “Installation Codes for Natural Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment” or CSA-B149.2

“Installation Codes for Propane Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment”. These indoor duct furnaces have been designed and certified to comply with CSA 2.6. Also see sections on installation in “Aircraft Hangers,” p. 11 and “Public Garages,” p. 11.

Do not alter the duct furnace in any way or damage to the unit and/or severe personal injury or death could occur!

Turn off the gas supply and disconnect all electric power, including remote disconnects before servicing unit. Follow proper lockout/ tagout procedures to ensure the power can not be inadvertently energized and the gas can not be inadvertently turned on. Failure to turn off gas or disconnect power before servicing could result in death or serious injury.

Follow installation instructions CAREFULLY to avoid creating unsafe conditions. All wiring should be done and checked by a qualified electrician, using copper wire only. All external wiring must conform to applicable local codes and to the latest edition of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70.

All gas connections should be made and leaktested by a suitably qualified individual, per instructions in this manual. Also follow procedures listed in “Gas Equipment Start-Up,” p. 32.

Use only the fuel for which the duct furnace is designed (see rating plate). Using LP gas in a heater that requires natural gas, or vice versa, will create the risk of gas leaks, carbon monoxide poisoning and explosion.

Important: Do not attempt to convert the furnace for use with a fuel other than the one intended. Such conversion is dangerous, as it could create the risks listed previously.

Make certain that the power source conforms to the electrical requirements of the furnace.

All field-installed wiring must be completed by qualified personnel. All field-installed wiring must comply with NEC and applicable local codes. Failure to follow this instruction could result in death or serious injuries.

Special attention must be given to any grounding information pertaining to this duct furnace. To prevent the risk of electrocution, the furnace must be securely and adequately grounded. This should be accomplished by connecting a grounded conductor between the service panel and the furnace. To ensure a proper

GLND-SVX01B-EN

7

General Information

ground, the grounding means must be tested by a qualified electrician.

Do not insert fingers or foreign objects into the furnace or its air moving device. Do not block or tamper with the heater in any manner while in operation or just after it has been turned off, as some parts may be hot enough to cause injury.

This furnace is intended for general heating applications ONLY. It must NOT be used in potentially dangerous locations such as flammable, explosive, chemical-laden or wet atmospheres.

In cases in which property damage may result from malfunction of the furnace, a backup system or a temperature sensitive alarm should be used.

When connecting to existing gas lines be sure to valve off the gas supply ahead of connection point. To avoid explosion or possible fire, always purge all residual gas from piping before cutting into existing line or removing threaded fittings. Failure to remove all gas vapors could result in death or serious injury or equipment or property- only-damage.

Unless otherwise specified, the following conversions may be used for calculating SI unit measurements:

1 foot = 0.305 m

1 inch water column = 0.249 kPa

1 inch = 25.4 mm

1 meter/second = FPM ÷ 196.8

1 psig = 6.894 kPa

1 liter/second = CFM x 0.472

1 pound = 0.453 kg

1000 Btu per hour = 0.293 kW

1 gallon = 3.785 L

1000 Btu/Cu. Ft. = 37.5 MJ/m3

 

1 cubic foot = 0.028 m3

Installation: Mechanical

NOTICE:

Equipment Damage!

Do not install duct furnaces in corrosive or flammable atmospheres! Premature failure of, or severe damage to the unit could result! Avoid locations where extreme drafts can affect burner operation. Duct furnaces must not be installed in locations where air for combustion would contain chlorinated, halogenated or acidic vapors. If located in such an environment, premature failure of the unit could occur!

When the unit is equipped with an automatic gas ignition system, the duct furnaces must be installed such that the gas ignition control system is not directly exposed to water spray, rain, or dripping water.

Note: Location of duct furnaces is related directly to the selection of sizes. Basic rules are as follows:

Aircraft Hangers. Duct furnaces must be installed in aircraft hangars and public garages as follows: in aircraft hangars, duct furnaces must be at least 10 feet (3.0 m) above the upper surface of wings or engine enclosures of the highest aircraft to be stored in the hangar, and 8 feet (2.4 m) above the floor in shops, offices and other sections of the hangar where aircraft are not stored or housed. Refer to current ANSI/NFPA No. 409, Aircraft Hangars. In Canada, installation is suitable in aircraft hangars when acceptable to the enforcing authorities.

Public Garages. In repair garages, duct furnaces must be installed in a detached building or room separate from repair areas as specified in the latest edition of NFPA 88B, Repair Garages.

In parking structures, duct furnaces must be installed so that the burner flames are located a minimum of 18 inches (457 mm) above the floor or protected by a partition not less than 18 inches (457 mm) high. Refer to the latest edition of NFPA 88A, Parking Structures.

In Canada, installation must be in accordance with the latest edition of CSA B149 “Installation Codes for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment.”

NOTICE:

Maintain Minimum Thermostat Setting!

Duct furnaces should not be installed to maintain low temperatures and/or freeze protection of buildings. A minimum of 50°F (10°C) thermostat setting must be maintained. If duct furnaces are operated to maintain lower than 50°F (10°C), hot flue gases are cooled inside the heat exchanger to a point where water vapor (a flue gas by-product) condenses onto the heat exchanger walls. The result is a mildly corrosive acid that prematurely corrodes the aluminized heat exchanger and can actually drip water down from the duct furnace onto the floor surface. Additional duct furnaces should be installed if a minimum 50°F (10°C) thermostat setting cannot be maintained. Failure to follow these recommendations could result in equipment or property damage.

WARNING

Overheating or Flooding Could Cause Fire or Explosion!

Overheating or flooding (where any part of the duct furnace has been under water) could result in fire or explosion. Should overheating occur, or the gas supply fails to shut off, shut off the manual gas valve to the duct furnace before shutting off the electrical supply. Do not use the duct furnace if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the duct furnace and replace any gas control which has been underwater. Failure to follow these recommendations could result in death or serious injury.

WARNING

Hazardous Gases and Flammable Vapors!

Exposure to hazardous gases from fuel substances have been shown to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or use of this product could cause flammable mixtures. To avoid hazardous gases and flammable vapors follow proper installation and set up of this product and all warnings as provided in this manual. Failure to follow all instructions could result in death or serious injury.

Clearances

WARNING

Combustible Materials!

Maintain proper clearance between the unit heat exchanger, vent surfaces, and combustible materials. Refer to unit nameplate and installation instructions for proper clearances. Improper clearances could result in a fire hazard. Failure to maintain proper clearances could result in death or serious injury or property damage.

Maintain adequate clearances around air openings into combustion chamber:

Table 3.

Minimum clearances

 

 

Sides

6” (152 mm)

 

 

Top

6” (152 mm)

 

 

Bottom

6” (152 mm)

 

 

Flue

6” (152 mm)

Note: When the clearances required for accessibility are greater than the minimum required safety clearances, the accessibility clearances take precedence.

Accessibility

If the unit is a bottom service access type, allow a minimum of 21 inches (533 mm) at the bottom of the unit to facilitate servicing the burners and pilot, or six inches (152 mm) if the unit has a side access burner drawer. Provision should also be made to assure accessibility for recurrent maintenance purposes.

Drafts

Avoid installing the duct furnace in an extremely drafty location. Strong drafts may cause pilot outage. Units with intermittent pilot ignition may be preferable in areas where drafts cannot be avoided.

Atmospheres containing commercial solvents or chlorinated hydrocarbons will produce corrosive acids when coming in contact with the flames. This will greatly reduce the life of the gas duct furnace and may void the warranty. Avoid such areas.

WARNING

Fire Hazard!

Ductwork

Properly designed and installed ductwork, providing a uniformly distributed flow of air across the surfaces of the heat exchanger, is essential to satisfactory unit performance and life of the equipment.

All duct connection flanges/seams must be sealed to prevent air leaks. Sealant/tape must be suitable for temperatures 250°F (121°C) minimum.

NOTICE:

Use 90° Duct Connection Flanges!

Ducts must be properly connected to duct furnaces for operation. Do not straighten the 90° duct connection flanges on the duct furnaces. Straightening the 90° duct connection flanges will affect the operation of the furnace and will void the warranty.

If uniform air distribution is not obtained, install additional baffles and/or turning vanes in the ductwork.

Figure 7 and Figure 8 illustrate recommended ductwork designs for both the straight-through and elbowed air inlet arrangements.

Figure 7. Recommended design for field installation of ductwork for straight-through arrangement

If the gas duct furnace is to be used in a building classified as having a hazardous atmosphere, the installation must comply with the standards set by the National Board of Fire Underwriters. Consult the authorities having jurisdiction before starting the job. Failure to follow recommendations could result in death or serious injury.

The duct furnace must be installed on the positive pressure side of the air circulation blower.

Installation: Mechanical

Figure 8. Recommended ductwork design for elbowed arrangement

Access panels large enough to observe smoke and reflected light, and to detect the presence of leaks in the heating equipment, are required both upstream and downstream from gas duct furnaces. These panels must be sealed to prevent air leaks. If allowed by local regulations, install canvas connectors between the ductwork and fan discharge opening to eliminate the transmission of mechanical vibration.

Air Flow

The installation is to be adjusted to obtain an air throughput within the range specified on the appliance rating plate.

Combustion Inlet Air Ventilation

Inlet Air From Another Room

If the duct furnace is installed in a tightly constructed room or compartment, provide two inlet air openings. The size of each vent opening should be no less than one square inch (6.452 square centimeters) of free area for each 1000 Btu/hr. (293 W) input. Each opening must not be less than 100 square inches (645 square centimeters).

Inlet Air From Outdoors

If the enclosed space is to have inlet combustion air from the outside, the vent opening must not be smaller than one square inch (6.452 square centimeters) of free area for each 2500–3000 Btu/hr (733–879 W) input. Each opening must not be less than 100 square inches (645 square centimeters).

Bypass

When a gas duct furnace is installed to operate in conjunction with a summer air conditioning system, the cfm air delivery of the system blower should be adjusted to meet the design air volume requirements for cooling. If this cfm delivery is greater than that required for heating,

resulting in a low air temperature rise, install a damper bypass around the gas duct furnace to bypass a portion of the air.

Suspension

WARNING

Heavy Objects!

Ensure that all hardware used in the suspension of each duct furnace is capable of supporting the unit weight. Failure to do so could result in unit falling off its mounting location, which could result in death or serious injury.

NOTICE:

Equipment Damage!

The duct furnace must be hung level from side to side and front to back, from four suspension points provided at the top of the unit. Failure to do so could result in poor performance and/or premature failure of the unit. Refer to Figure 9, p. 14 for typical suspension arrangements.

WARNING

Heavy Objects!

Make certain that the lifting methods used to lift the duct furnace and the method of suspension used in the field installation of the duct furnace are capable of uniformly supporting the weight of the furnace at all times. Make certain that the structure to which the furnace is mounted is capable of supporting its weight. Under no circumstances must the heater gas lines, the venting system or the electrical conduit be used for support. Failure to follow recommendations could result in death, serious injury, or property damage.
