Lennox G26Q2-50 Unit Information

Service Literature

G26 series units are high-efficiency upflow gas furnaces manufactured with
DuralokPlust aluminized steel clamshell-type heat exchangers. G26 units
are available in heating capacities of 50,000 to 125,000 Btuh and cooling
applications up to 5 tons. Refer to Engineering Handbook for proper sizing.
Units are factory equipped for use with natural gas. A kit is available for con-
version to LPG operation. G26-1 and -2 model units use electronic (intermit-
tent pilot) ignition. G26-3, -4, -5 and -6 model units feature the Lennox Sur-
eLightT silicon nitride ignition system. Each unit meets the California Nitro-
gen Oxides (NO ) Standards and California Seasonal Efficiency require-
x
ments without modification. All units use a redundant gas valve to assure
safety shut-off as required by A.G.A. or C.G.A.

Combustion Process:

1. A call for heat starts the combustion air blower.
2. Outdoor air is drawn through pipe into the burner
compartment where it mixes with gas in a con-
ventional style inshot burner.
3. The SureLight ignition system lights the burners.
4. Combustion products are drawn downward
through the heat exchanger. Heat is extracted
as indoor air passes across the outside surface
of the metal.
5. Latent heat is removed from the combustion
5
products as air passes through the coil. Conden-
sate (water) is formed as the combustion prod-
ucts cool.
6. As the combustion products exit the coil, con-
densate is collected and drained away.
7. Combustion products are pulled from the heat
exchanger and forced into the flue.
