SERVICE
I – INTRODUCTION
G20RE and G20RXE series units are mid–efficiency
downflow gas furnaces with Duracurve
changers formed of aluminized steel. G20RE units
come in heating capacities of 50,000 to 150,000 Btuh. In
cooling applications, blowers are equipped to handle
up to 5 tons of cooling capacity. Refer to Engineering
Handbook for proper sizing.
Units are factory supplied for use with natural gas. A
conversion kit to LPG operation is available for the
G20RE only. All units are equipped with an electronic
ignition. G20RXE models meet the California Nitrogen
Oxides (NO
) Standards and California Seasonal Effi-
x
ciency requirements. All units use a redundant gas
valve to assure safety shut–off as required by A.G.A.
Featured on G20RE series is a burner box damper as-
sembly located on the intake side of the burners. A
damper door in the burner box shuts during unit off
cycles to retain heat in the unit. A damper prove switch
ensures that damper is open before gas valve is ener-
gized. Since the G20RE furnaces have atmospheric
burners there is no induced draft motor. All G20RE
units have a draft diverter which allows the use of stan-
dard single wall vent connectors.
