C−Heating Components

3. Flame Sensor

A flame sensor is located on the left side of the burner sup- port. See figure 6. The sensor is mounted through the bot- tom of the burner box and the tip protrudes into the flame envelope of the left−most burner. The sensor can be re- moved for service without removing any part of the burn- ers. During operation, flame is sensed by current passed through the flame and sensing electrode. The SureLight control allows the gas valve to remain open as long as flame signal is sensed.

4. Ignitor

The SureLight ignitor is made of durable silicon nitride. Ig- nitor longevity is enhanced by controlling voltage to the ig- nitor. The board finds the lowest ignitor temperature which will successfully light the burner, thus increasing the life of the ignitor. Due to this feature of the board, voltage cannot be measured so ignitor must be ohmed. Ohme value should be 10.9 to 19.7. See 7 for ignitor location.

NOTE − The G61MP furnace contains electronic com- ponents that are polarity sensitive. Make sure that the furnace is wired correctly and is properly grounded.

5. Burners (Figure 7)

All units use inshot burners. Burners are factory set and do not require adjustment. The manifold brackets are slotted so burn- ers can be removed as an assembly for service. Burner main- tenance and service is detailed in the MAINTENANCE sec- tion of this manual. Each burner uses an orifice which is pre- cisely matched to the burner input and is threaded into the burner manifold. All G61MP natural gas units are fitted with

.089" sized orifices. See ICATIONS" tables for LP kits and high altitude.

A flame retention ring in the end of each burner maintains cor- rect flame length and shape and keeps the flame from lifting off the burner head. In addition, the burner entrance to each clam- shell is fitted with a corbel cup (orifice) used to direct the flow of combustion products.

G61MP specifications

Lennox International Inc. has long been a leader in HVAC solutions, and the G61MP gas furnace exemplifies the company's commitment to innovation and energy efficiency. This high-efficiency gas furnace operates with an Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) of up to 96%, allowing homeowners to save significantly on energy costs while maintaining a comfortable indoor environment.

One of the primary features of the G61MP is its modulating gas valve. This technology enables the furnace to operate at multiple levels of heating output, ensuring that it can adjust its performance according to the home’s heating demands. By modulating the heating output, the G61MP maximizes efficiency and minimizes energy waste, providing a consistent temperature and improved comfort.

The G61MP also incorporates advanced two-stage heating, which enhances its performance by reducing temperature fluctuations in the home. This feature is especially beneficial during transitional weather periods when heating needs may vary widely. With its ability to operate on a lower stage most of the time, the furnace can produce quieter operation and reduced energy consumption.

In terms of design, the G61MP includes a sealed combustion chamber that draws air from outside the home for combustion, enhancing safety and efficiency. This design feature eliminates the need for indoor air, improving indoor air quality. The furnace is also equipped with a high-efficiency ECM blower motor that not only boosts comfort but operates quietly and uses less electricity compared to traditional motors.

Further enhancing its efficiency, the G61MP utilizes a variable-speed blower, which allows for precise control of airflow throughout the home. This results in better humidity control and improved air distribution, providing an overall more comfortable environment.

The Lennox G61MP is compatible with the iComfort S30 smart thermostat, allowing homeowners to control their heating remotely, adjust settings based on their schedules, and access energy usage data. This connectivity transforms the G61MP into an integral part of a smart home ecosystem, facilitating energy conservation and comfort optimization.

Lastly, the G61MP is designed with durability in mind. Its robust construction and high-quality materials ensure reliable performance and lengthy service life. Homeowners can feel assured that they are investing in a heating solution that will meet their needs for many winters to come. In summary, the Lennox G61MP gas furnace stands out with its high efficiency, advanced technology, and user-friendly features, making it a top choice for homeowners seeking exceptional heating performance.
