X. CIRCULATING AIR AND FILTERS

Ductwork - Air

WARNING

NEVER ALLOW THE PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION, INCLUDING CARBON MONOXIDE, TO ENTER THE RETURN DUCTWORK OR CIRCULATION AIR SUPPLY.

Duct systems and register sizes must be properly designed for the CFM and external static pressure rating of the furnace. Ductwork should be designed in accordance with the recommended methods of “Air Conditioning Contractors of America” Manual D.

A duct system must be installed in accordance with Standards of the National Board of Fire Underwriters for the Installation of Air Conditioning, Warm Air Heating and Ventilating Systems. Pamphlets No. 90A and 90B.

A closed return duct system must be used, with the return duct connected to the furnace. NOTE: Ductwork must never be attached to the back of the furnace. Supply and return connections to the furnace may be made with flexible joints to reduce noise transmission. To prevent the blower from interfering with combustion air or draft when a central return is used, a connecting duct must be installed between the unit and the utility room wall. A room, closet, or alcove must not be used as a return air chamber.

When the furnace is used in connection with a cooling unit, the furnace should be installed in parallel with or on the upstream side of the cooling unit to avoid condensation in the heating element. With a parallel flow arrangement, the dampers or other means used to control the flow of air must be adequate to prevent chilled air from entering the furnace and, if manually operated, must be equipped with means to prevent operation of either unit unless the damper is in the full heat or cool position.

When the furnace is installed without a cooling coil, it is recommended that a removable access panel be provided in the outlet air duct. This opening shall be accessible when the furnace is installed and shall be of such a size that the heat exchanger can be viewed for visual light inspection or such that a sampling probe can be inserted into the airstream. The access panel must be made to prevent air leaks when the furnace is in operation.

When the furnace is heating, the temperature of the return air entering the furnace must be between 55°F and 100°F.

When a furnace is installed so that supply ducts carry air circulated by the furnace to areas outside the space containing the furnace, the return air shall also be handled by a duct sealed to the furnace casing and terminating outside the space containing the furnace.

FILTERS - READ THIS SECTION BEFORE INSTALLING THE RETURN AIR DUCTWORK

Filters must be used with this furnace. Discuss filter maintenance with the building owner. Filters do not ship with this furnace, but must be provided by the installer. Filters must comply with UL900 or CAN/ULCS111 standards. If the furnace is installed without filters, the warranty will be voided.

NOTE: An undersized opening will cause reduced airflow. The bottom return is set up as a knock out.

UPRIGHT INSTALLATIONS

Depending on the installation and/or customer preference, differing filter arrangements can be applied. Filters can be installed in the central return register or a side panel external filter rack kit (upflows), or the ductwork above a counterflow furnace. As an alternative, a media air filter or electronic air cleaner can be used as the requested filter. The following figures show possible filter locations.

CIRCULATION AIR FILTERS

One of the most common causes of a problem in a forced air heating system is a blocked or dirty filter. Circulating air filters must be inspected monthly for dirt accumulation and replaced if necessary. Failure to maintain clean filters can cause premature heat exchanger failure.

A new home may require more frequent replacement until all construction dust and dirt is removed. Circulating air filters are to be installed in the return air duct external to the furnace cabinet.

Goodman Mfg GDS8, GHS8 Circulating AIR and Filters, XI. Sequence of Operation Integrated Ignition Control, Ductwork Air

GMS8, GHS8, GDS8 specifications

Goodman Manufacturing, a well-reputed name in the HVAC industry, offers a comprehensive range of heating and cooling solutions. Among their notable products are the GDS8, GHS8, and GMS8 series, each designed to meet diverse customer needs while providing exceptional performance and energy efficiency.

The Goodman GDS8 gas furnace is known for its remarkable efficiency and reliability. Boasting an AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) rating of up to 80%, the GDS8 converts a significant portion of fuel into usable heat, ensuring lower energy bills for homeowners. This model features a multi-speed blower motor that optimizes airflow, enhancing temperature consistency throughout the home, and reducing noise levels during operation. The GDS8 comes equipped with a durable heat exchanger crafted from high-quality steel, ensuring longevity and optimal heat transfer.

On the other hand, the GHS8 series represents Goodman’s commitment to high-efficiency heating. With an AFUE rating of up to 96%, the GHS8 is engineered for maximum performance. Its two-stage heating system allows for better temperature control, enabling the furnace to operate quietly and efficiently. Another standout feature is the ComfortBridge technology, which enhances the system’s ability to communicate and adapt to the home’s specific heating needs. This feature optimizes energy usage and increases comfort levels in any environment.

The Goodman GMS8 model is an exceptional choice for homeowners looking for a reliable gas furnace with a focus on energy efficiency. Similar to its counterparts, the GMS8 also delivers an AFUE of up to 96.5%. This unit features an advanced modulating gas valve that adjusts heating output based on the temperature requirements, creating a consistent and comfortable indoor climate. The GMS8 is also equipped with a high-efficiency ECM blower motor, which reduces energy consumption while improving airflow.
