Figure 7. Downflow Sub-Base Dimensions
If outside air is utilized as return air to the furnace for ventilation or to improve indoor air quality, the system must be designed so that the return air to the furnace is not less than 50°F (10°C) during heating operation. If a combination of indoor and outdoor air is used, the ducts and damper system must be designed so that the return air supply to the furnace is equal to the return air supply under normal, indoor return air applications.
When a cooling system is installed which uses the furnace blower to provide airflow over the indoor coil, the coil must be installed down- stream (on the outlet side) or in parallel with the furnace.
If a cooling system is installed in parallel with the furnace, a damper must be installed to prevent chilled air from entering the furnace and con- densing on the heat exchanger. If a manually operated damper is installed, it must be de- signed so that operation of the furnace is pre- vented when the damper is in the cooling posi- tion and operation of the cooling system is prevented when the damper is in the heating position.
