Heat leakage from my furnace
I have an unorthox HVAC setup due to living in an old converted loft
building. I was doing some maintenance on my Armstrong Ultra SX80 and after turning it back on I noticed that there was heat gushing from a gap in a panel attached to the furnace. I have attached a picture of my setup with some notations of what everything is ... the red X circle indicates where the heat is leaking from (the gap where the AC condensation leak tube comes out). I'm wondering if I can insulate this somehow to keep as much heat feeding to the ducts as possible or if this venting is there for a reason? http://imgur.com/EUp6YyN -- |

I just wanted to make sure there wasn't some random reason that air was supposed to vent from there. It didn't seem like that would be the case, it was just too much heat escaping to possibly be efficient. I also didn't want to shove something in there that would just burn or melt, so I will check to make sure it's not an issue somewhere further up the chain and then use aluminium tape to seal it up! -- |

They don't care what direction they are in, they do a simple operation like spinning and moving air. You put them where they fit best. |

The furnace and AC aren't going to work if they are on a 45 deg incline, unless it's some special design I've never seen. You have issues of condensate drainage from the burner and AC for example. |

"EXPLAIN" -- Appreciate you looking out but as many others have mentioned it's perfectly normal to have horizontal installations, it's even in the manual. In my case the furnace is installed horizontally strictly for space reasons. -- |

Didn't you post this: "I am not HVAC person but it seems to me that this is half ass setup You are showing Air Handler on side which should be in Vertical position. "EXPLAIN" Or did you leave your PC unattended and someone else typed it? Now you say: Look at Evaporator enclosure it shows intake and discharged from same enclosure, perhaps you can tell me how that evaporator fan is configured with in. I s it fan as fan or is it Squirrel cage. The pic he supplied shows no such thing. It shows a horizontal furnace, air entering on right, passing through the furnace, exiting through plenum on the left, which has the AC coils. Very normal installation. And there is no "evaporator fan". There is a blower in the furnace section that moves the air for both heating and cooling. The installation is perfectly normal, he just needs to seal the air leakage at the condensate drain. Nuff said. |

Yours is coming ... Oh , and here's the link to that furnace's install manual : http://www.armstrongair.com/_/pdfs/i..._506724-01.pdf Which clearly says this unit can be installed in either orientation . Thanks, Clare. That manual sure will clear up a lot of questions. Wasn't me that provided it, but a good manual is a good start. |
