F96VTN and G96VTN: Installation, Start-up, Operating and Service and Maintenance Instructions

Manufacturer reserves the right to change, at any time, specifications and designs without notice and without obligations.

Filter Arrangement

For upflow side return applications, the Media Cabinet or field supplied

accessory air cleaner can be installed on the side of the furnace or side

and bottom  when a bottom  plenum  is used. See 

Fig. 21

For downflow

applications, the Media Cabinet or field supplied accessory air cleaner

must  only  be  connected  to  the  bottom  opening  on  the  furnace.  See

Fig. 22

For horizontal applications, the Media Cabinet or field supplied

accessory  air  cleaner  for  all  models  can  be  connected  to  the  bottom

opening on the furnace. For side return use in the horizontal position,

refer to 

Fig. 23

. If both side and bottom openings are used in 

Fig. 23

,

each opening used will require a filter.
The  media  cabinet  or  field  supplied  accessory  air cleaner  can  also  be

installed  in  the  common  return  duct  prior  to  entering  the  return  air

opening in any orientation.
Refer to the instructions supplied with Media Cabinet or accessory air

filter for assembly and other details.
See 

Table 6

 for filter size details.

Table 6 – Air Filter Selection and Duct Sizing - In. (mm)

Filter and Return Duct Sizing

Pressure drop must be taken into account when sizing filters, filter racks,

IAQ  devices,  and  associated  system  ductwork.  See 

Table 7

  for  a

comparison of Pressure Drop (initial/clean resistance to airflow) versus

Airflow  for  a  variety  of  filter  media  types  and  sizes.  These  are

representative numbers. Consult the filter or IAQ device manufacturers’

specification sheet for performance data for a particular filter media or

IAQ device.
Design the filter and associated ductwork for the best match of pressure

drop versus filter size. Best practice usually chooses filter systems with

pressure drops under 0.2 in. W.C. (50 Pa), with the best blower electrical

efficiency and system airflow performance occurring with filter pressure

drops under 0.1 in. W.C. (25 Pa). 

Provide duct transitions, as required, to smoothly transition airflow from

the return duct system to the filter (or IAQ device) to the furnace when

the  dimensions  of  the  ductwork  or  furnace  return  air  opening  do  not

match the required filter or IAQ device dimensions. See the instructions

supplied with factory-accessory duct adapters. 

WARNING

!

FIRE, CARBON MONOXIDE AND POISONING

HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could  result in fire, personal injury or

death.

Never operate a furnace without a filter or filtration device installed.

Never  operate  a  furnace  with  filter  or  filtration  device  access  doors

removed.

NOTICE

!

Design the duct system FIRST to determine how much pressure drop

may  be  allowed  in  the  filter  system.  See  the  Air  Ducts  section.

Excessive filter pressure drop often compromises system airflow and

duct performance, causes inadequate airflow to the furthest ends of the

duct system, as well as causes excess noise and higher than anticipated

electrical consumption.
