Setting Temperature Rise - Thermo Pride CMA1-50N Installation And Service Manual

All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.
flames should be clear, blue and almost transparent in color. (see Figure 16).
NOTE: It is not unusual to have orangish flames visible in the tube for LP gas.
Figure 16.
The CMA furnace models are direct vent design and do not
:
require an air shutter adjustment (air shutters are not used) for proper
flame characteristics. Burner box access cover must always be secured
with all screws in place and tightened before operating furnace.
E. SETTING TEMPERATURE RISE
All CMA Models are designed and wired at the factory for a heating blower speed
that should result in an approximate temperature rise of 60°F. The blower motors
are wired on med-low speed for heating mode. The temperature rise through the
furnace may vary depending on the duct system, elevation, heating value, etc. for
each installation. A lower temperature rise will result in a higher efficiency.
Temperature rise = supply air temperature - return air temperature.
After 10 to 15 minutes of continuous operation, the temperature rise through the
furnace must fall within a range of 40°F to 70°F. If the outlet or supply duct
temperature is too high, you should check to make sure that your return air filter
is clean, your return air openings are free from obstruction, your outlet registers
are properly adjusted and clear and your supply and return air ducts are open.
The circulating air blower is not moving enough air if the supply air temperature is
still too high. Before proceeding further, turn off the power supply to the furnace
and remove the front door of the unit.
The speed of the blower must be increased by changing the speed tap from the
motor (see figure 15). This is accomplished by locating the control panel attached
to the blower housing and switching the blue (med. low) blower lead, which
should be connected to the "Heat" terminal on the White-Rodgers 50A65-143
