Air For Combustion And Ventilation - Carrier 58CTA Installation, Start-Up, Operating And Service And Maintenance Instructions

WARNING
!
FIRE, INJURY OR DEATH HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury, death, and/or property damage.
When the furnace is installed in a residential garage, the
burners and ignition sources must be located at least 18
inches (457 mm) above the floor. The furnace must be
located or protected to avoid damage by vehicles. When the
furnace is installed in a public garage, airplane hangar, or
other building having a hazardous atmosphere, the furnace
must be installed in accordance with the NFGC. (See Fig.
5.)

WARNING
!
FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury, death and/or property damage.
Do not install the furnace on its back or hang furnace with
control compartment facing downward. Safety control
operation will be adversely affected. Never connect
return- -air ducts to the back of the furnace. (See Fig. 6.)

CAUTION
!
PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD
Improper use or installation of this furnace may cause
premature component failure. This gas furnace may be used
for construction heat provided that:
- -The furnace is permanently installed with all electrical
wiring, piping, venting and ducting installed according to
these installation instructions. A return air duct is provided,
sealed to the furnace casing, and terminated outside the
space containing the furnace. This prevents a negative
pressure condition as created by the circulating air blower,
causing a flame roll- -out and/or drawing combustion
products into the structure.
- -The furnace is controlled by a thermostat. It may not be
"hot wired" to provide heat continuously to the structure
without thermostatic control.
- -Clean outside air is provided for combustion. This is to
minimize the corrosive effects of adhesives, sealers and
other construction materials.
entrainment of drywall dust into combustion air, which can
cause fouling and plugging of furnace components.
- -The temperature of the return air to the furnace is
maintained between 55_F (13_C) and 80_F (27_C), with
no evening setback or shutdown. The use of the furnace
while the structure is under construction is deemed to be
intermittent operation per our installation instructions.
- -The air temperature rise is within the rated rise range on
the furnace rating plate, and the gas input rate has been set
to the nameplate value.
- -The filters used to clean the circulating air during the
construction process must be either changed or thoroughly
cleaned prior to occupancy.
- -The furnace, ductwork and filters are cleaned as necessary
to remove drywall dust and construction debris from all
HVAC system components after construction is completed.
- -Verify proper furnace operating conditions including
ignition, gas input rate, air temperature rise, and venting
according to these installation instructions.
LOCATION RELATIVE TO COOLING EQUIPMENT
The cooling coil must be installed parallel with, or on the
downstream side of the unit to avoid condensation in the heat
exchangers. When installed parallel with the furnace, dampers or
other flow control must prevent chilled air from entering the
furnace. If the dampers are manually operated, they must be
equipped with means to prevent operation of either unit unless
the damper is in the full- -heat or full- -cool position.
AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND
VENTILATION
Provisions for adequate combustion, ventilation, and dilution air
must be provided in accordance with:
U.S. installations: Section 9.3 of the NFPA 54 /A ANSI
Z223.1- -2012, Air for Combustion and Ventilation, and
applicable provisions of the local building codes.
