NOTE − In these applications, two−stage heat will be initi- ated by the integrated control if heating demand has not been satisfied after the field adjustable period (7 or 12 min- utes).

1 − On a call for heat, thermostat first−stage contacts close sending a signal to the integrated control. The inte- grated control runs a self-diagnostic program and checks high temperature limit switches for normally closed contacts and pressure switches for normally open contacts. The combustion air inducer is ener- gized at low speed.

2 − Once the control receives a signal that the low pres- sure switch has closed, the combustion air inducer be- gins a 15−second pre−purge in low speed.

NOTE − If the low fire pressure switch does not close the combustion air inducer will switch to high fire. After a 15 second pre−purge the high fire pressure switch will close and the unit will begin operation on high fire. After 10 to 20 seconds of high fire operation the unit will switch to low fire.

3 − After the pre−purge is complete, a 20−second initial ig- nitor warm−up period begins. The combustion air in- ducer continues to operate at low speed.

4 − After the 20−second warm−up period has ended, the gas valve is energized on low fire (first stage) and ignition oc- curs. At the same time, the control module sends a sig- nal to begin an indoor blower 30−second ON−delay. When the delay ends, the indoor blower motor is ener- gized on the low fire heating speed and the HUM con- tacts are energized. The integrated control also initi- ates a second−stage on delay (factory−set at 7 minutes; adjustable to 12 minutes).

5 − If the heating demand continues beyond the second− stage on delay, the integrated control energizes the combustion air inducer at high speed. The control also checks the high fire (second stage) pressure switch to make sure it is closed. The high fire (second stage) gas valve is energized and the indoor blower motor is energized for operation at the high fire heating speed.

6 − When the thermostat heating demand is satisfied, the combustion air inducer begins a 5−second low speed post−purge. The field−selected indoor blower off delay begins. The indoor blower operates at the low−fire heating speed.

7 − When the combustion air post−purge period is com- plete, the inducer, the HUM contacts as well as the 120V ACC terminals are de−energized. The indoor blower is de−energized at the end of the off delay.

DAVE LENNOX SIGNATURE COLLECTION GAS FURNACE, SL280DFV specifications

Lennox International Inc has made a significant mark in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industry, known for its commitment to innovation and energy efficiency. One of its standout products is the SL280DFV model, a high-efficiency gas furnace designed to meet the needs of modern homes.

The SL280DFV boasts an impressive Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating of up to 80%. This rating indicates that the furnace converts 80% of the fuel it consumes into usable heat, making it a cost-effective choice for homeowners. The high efficiency not only reduces energy bills but also lessens the environmental impact by minimizing greenhouse gas emissions.

One of the key features of the SL280DFV is its two-stage gas valve operation. This technology allows the furnace to operate at two levels of heating output: low stage for milder days and high stage for extremely cold temperatures. This adaptability enhances comfort by maintaining more consistent indoor temperatures while also saving energy when full power is unnecessary.

Another innovative aspect of the SL280DFV is its variable-speed blower motor. This smart technology enables the furnace to adjust airflow based on the heating needs of a home, which promotes quiet operation and improved temperature consistency throughout living spaces.

The SL280DFV is equipped with a durable heat exchanger that is designed to withstand the rigors of daily use, contributing to the unit’s longevity. Additionally, the furnace features a smart ignition system that ensures reliable start-ups, so homeowners can depend on it through the coldest winter nights.
