24. Furnace must be installed so that burner and control system
components are protected from dripping, spraying water or rain
during operation or service.
25. If installing an air conditioning evaporator coil, install the coil
downstream of, or in parallel with, the furnace to prevent
condensation on the furnace heat exchanger. If the coil is in
parallel, provide means to prevent flow of chilled air into the
furnace, including an interlock to prevent simultaneous operation
of heating and air conditioning.
Apply the following suggestions to prevent unsatisfactory operation of the furnace.
Installation –
1. Be sure to level the furnace, using a spirit level on the front and
one side. If the furnace is not level, oil can drip into the
combustion chamber after burner cycling and contaminate the
heat exchanger and the burner head.
2. Make sure all legs are in contact with the floor to distribute the
load and prevent the possibility of undue noise or vibration.
3. Avoid locating return grills in rooms that may contain undesirable
odors.
It is recommended that carbon monoxide detectors be installed wherever oil or gas fired heaters are used. Carbon monoxide can
cause bodily harm or death. For this reason, agency approved carbon monoxide detectors should be installed in your residence
and properly maintained to warn of dangerously high carbon monoxide levels
There are several sources of possible smoke and flames in a residence. Smoke and flames can cause bodily harm or death. For this
reason, agency approved smoke detectors should be installed in your residence and properly maintained, to warn early on, of a
potentially dangerous fire. Also, the house should be equipped with approved and properly maintained fire extinguishers.
Your unit is equipped with safety devices that can prevent it from functioning when anomalies are detected such as the optional
Blocked Vent Shut-off Device.

1.8. COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY AND
VENTILATION
Poisonous carbon monoxide gas hazard.
Comply with NFPA 31 (U.S.) and CSA B139 (Canada)
standards for the installation of Oil Burning
Equipment and applicable provisions of local building
codes to provide combustion and ventilation air.
Failure to provide adequate combustion and
ventilation air can result in death, bodily injury and/or
property damage.
Oil furnaces must have an adequate supply of combustion air. It is
common practice to assume that older homes have sufficient
infiltration to accommodate the combustion air requirement for the
furnace. However, home improvements such as new windows,
doors, and weather stripping have drastically reduced the volume of
air infiltration into the home.
Refer to oil furnace installation codes relative to combustion and
ventilation air requirements. Consult Section 1.3 in this manual,
specifically for units installed in an enclosed space.
Home air exhausters are common. Bathroom and kitchen fans,
power vented clothes dryers and water heaters all tend to create a
negative pressure condition in the home. Should this occur the
chimney becomes less and less effective and can easily downdraft.
In certain cases, mechanically supplied air, by way of a blower,
interlocked with the unit, is necessary. It is the installer’s
responsibility to check that.
1.8.1.Contaminated Combustion Air
Installations in certain areas or types of structures will increase the
exposure to chemicals or halogens that may harm the furnace.
These conditions will require that only outside air be used for
combustion.
The following areas or types of structures may contain or be
exposed to certain substances, potentially requiring outside air for
combustion:
a. Commercial buildings;
b. Buildings with indoor pools;
c. Furnaces installed near chemical storage areas.
Exposure to the following substances:
a. Permanent wave chemicals for hair;
b. Chlorinated waxes and cleaners;
c. Chlorine based swimming pool chemicals;
d. Water softening chemicals;
e. De-icing salts or chemicals;
f. Carbon tetrachloride;
g. Halogen type refrigerants;
h. Cleaning solvents (such as perchloroethylene);
i. Printing inks, paint removers, varnishes, etc. ;
j. Hydrochloric acid;
k. Solvent based glue;
l. Antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers;
m. Acid based masonry cleaning materials.
1.8.2. Burner with Outdoor Combustion
Air Kit
Some burners are designed to function with combustion air taken
directly from the outside. Follow the instructions provided with the
burner, the fresh-air supply kit or the side-wall venting kit.
1.9.OIL TANK
Fire and explosion hazard.
Use only approved heating type oil in this furnace.
DO NOT USE waste oil, used motor oil, gasoline or
kerosene.
Use of these will result in death, bodily injury
and/or property damage.
When a 0.75 USGPH or smaller nozzle is used, a 10
micron or finer filter, must be installed on the oil
supply line to the furnace inside the building where
the unit is located.
This is a requirement in order for the heat
exchanger warranty to remain in force.
Check your local codes for the installation of the oil tank and
accessories.
At the beginning of each heating season or once a year, check the
complete oil distribution system for leaks.
Ensure that the tank is full of clean oil. Use No.1 or No.2 Heating Oil
(ASTM D396 U.S.) or in Canada, use No.1 or No.2 Furnace Oil.
A manual shut-off valve and an oil filter shall be installed in
sequence from tank to burner. Be sure that the oil line is clean
before connecting to the burner. The oil line should be protected to
eliminate any possible damage. Installations where the oil tank is
below the burner level must employ a two-pipe fuel supply system
with an appropriate fuel pump. A rise of 2.4 m (8') and more requires
a two stage pump and a rise greater than 4.9 m (16') an auxiliary
pump. Follow the pump instructions to determine the size of pipe
needed in relation to the rise or to the horizontal distance.
1.10. CONNECT SUPPLY AND RETURN
DUCTS
1.10.1. Duct sizing
1.10.1.1. Determine airflow CFM
The temperature rise through the furnace must not exceed 85oF, but
should be at least 55°F for comfort. When calculating airflow,
assume a temperature rise of 70°F.
The noticeable temperature change for cooling would be
approximately 27 - 30°F. Actual temperature change will be
approximately 18 - 21°F due to humidity of the air.
To calculate noticeable heat temperature change (ΔT), you can use
the formula:
ΔT = BTU/h / (1.1 x CFM) Eq. 3 - 1
To calculate air flow when you know temperature change (ΔT), you
can use:
CFM = BTU/h / (1.1 x ΔT) Eq. 3 - 2
You can estimate air flow using the following rules of thumb:
Heating: 14 CFM per 1,000 BTU/h output Eq. 3 - 3
Cooling: 400 CFM per ton air conditioning Eq. 3 - 4
Determine the required airflow based on whichever is larger: heating
mode or air conditioning mode.
Examples:
1. What would the temperature rise be for a 100,000 BTU/h output
furnace with an airflow rate of 1200 CFM?
Use Equation 3 - 1 since you know CFM and BTU/h:
ΔT = 100,000 / (1.1 x 1200) = 76°F
• The temperature rise would be 76°F.
• If the air enters the furnace at 70°F, it would leave the
furnace at 70°F + 76°F = 146°F.
11/13 7
PMP-098 Oil Furnaces – Furnace Manual
2. What would the airflow be to obtain a 70°F rise through a
120,000 BTU/h output furnace?
Use equation 3 - 2 since you know ΔT and BTU/h:
CFM = 120,000 / (1.1 x 70) = 1558 CFM
• The air flow would have to be 1558 CFM to obtain a
temperature rise of 70°F.
3. Estimate the required airflow for a 75,000 BTU/h output furnace
installed with a 2-ton air conditioning evaporator coil.
Heating mode air flow (use Equation 3 - 3):
CFM = 75 x 14 = 1050 CFM
Cooling mode air flow (use Equation 3 - 4):
CFM = 2 x 400 = 800 CFM
• The larger number is 1050 CFM (heating), so the duct
system should be sized for 1050 CFM.
• The supply duct would need to be 16” round or a rectangular
equivalent such as 8” x 25" or 12" x 18", using Table 3.
4. Estimate the required airflow for the same furnace installed with
a 4-ton air conditioning evaporator coil.
Heating mode airflow is still 1050 CFM.
Cooling mode air flow (use Equation 3 - 4):
CFM = 4 x 400 = 1600 CFM
• The larger number is 1600 CFM (cooling), so the duct
system should be sized for 1600 CFM.
• The supply duct would need to be 18” round or a rectangular
equivalent such as 8" x 36" or 12" x 23", using Table 3.
Always check the size of existing ducts, particularly if
you are adding air conditioning. The air pressure loss
through the cooling evaporator coil reduces available
airflow. If the ducts are too small as well, the system
may not work satisfactorily on either heating or
cooling.
1.10.1.2.Determine duct dimensions
Table 3, page 9 and Table 4, page 10, provide typical round and
rectangular duct sizes for rectangular and flat oval galvanized ducts.
Do not apply these tables to size ductwork if the total equivalent
length of the duct exceeds approximately 100 feet. For longer
systems or for duct board, fiberglass-lined or flexible duct sizing, use
the ACCA Manual D or the ACCA duct sizing slide rule. These
tables are based on pressure loss of approximately 0.10” water
column per 100 feet equivalent length of duct.
Use Table 2 beside to size or check sizing of take-offs to supply
registers or return grills.
Verify the size and type of registers, diffusers and grills from the
manufacturer’s ratings. Do not exceed the recommended flow rate.
The pressure drop allowance for each should not exceed
approximately 0.05” water column.
Install a return air filter, sized per specifications in Section 5.
Use only a return air filter mounted to the furnace. Do not add
additional filters unless the duct system is carefully sized to allow for
the additional pressure drop.
