Water Heater - Carrier 140/E Series Installation, Start--Up, Operating, And Service And Maintenance

FURNACE CORROSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in furnace damage.
Air for combustion nmst not be contaminated by halogen
compounds, which include fluoride, chloride, bromide, and
iodide. These elements can corrode heat exchangers and
shorten furnace life. Air contaminants are found in aerosol
sprays, detergents, bleaches, cleaning solvents, salts, air
fresheners, and other household products.
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury or death.
The operation of exhaust fans, kitchen ventilation fans,
clothes dryers, attic exhaust fans or fireplaces could create a
NEGATIVE PRESSURE CONDITION at the furnace.
Make-up air MUST be provided for the ventilation devices,
in addition to that required by the furnace. Refer to Carbon
Monoxide Poisoning Hazard warning in venting section of
these instructions to determine if an adequate amount of
make-up air is available.
The requirements for combustion and ventilation air depend upon
whether or not the furnace is located in a space having a volume
of at least 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btuh input rating for all gas
appliances installed in the space.
• Spaces having less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btuh require the
Outdoor Combustion Air Method.
• Spaces having at least 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btuh may use the
Indoor Combustion Air, Standard or Known Air Infiltration
Method.
Outdoor Combustion Air Method
1. Provide the space with sufficient air for proper combus-
tion, ventilation, and dilution of flue gases using perman-
ent horizontal or vertical duct(s) or opening(s) directly
communicating with the outdoors or spaces that freely
communicate with the outdoors.
2. Fig. 7 illustrates how to provide TWO OUTDOOR
OPENINGS, one inlet and one outlet combustion and
ventilation air opening, to the outdoors.
e. One opening MUST commence within 12 in. (300 ram)
of the ceiling and the second opening MUST commence
within 12 in. (300 ram) of the floor.
f. Size openings and ducts per Fig. 7 and Table 2.
g. TWO HORIZONTALDUCTS require I -in 2 of free area
per 2,000 Btuh (1,100 mm2/kW) of combined input for
all gas appliances in the space per Fig.7 and Table 2.
h. TWO OPENINGS OR VERTICAL DUCTS require 1
-in 2 of free area per 4,000 Btuh (550 mm2/kW) for com-
bined input of all gas appliances in the space per Fig. 7
and Table 2.
3. ONE OUTDOOR OPENING requires:
a. One square inch of free area per 3,000 Btuh (734
mm2/kW) for combined input of all gas appliances in the
space per Table 2 and
b. Not less than the sum of the areas of all vent connectors
in the space.

110,000 + 30,000 = (140,000 divided by 4,000)
66,000 + 40,000 = (106,000 divided by 3,000)
88,000 4- 30,000 = (118,000 divided by 2,000)
