Equipment |
Complete units |
Mortex G18D090CA4BC downflow gas furnace, 90,000 BTU/hr, 115V, 80% AFUE; E30B5D020ABE mobile home air handling unit, 20 kW, 5 ton |
Typical gas furnace timing is shown below. Exact times vary by model, so use the service manual for your furnace.
|
Stage |
What happens |
|
Inducer pre-purge |
The inducer runs for about 10 to 60 seconds before ignition |
|
Igniter warm-up |
The hot surface igniter heats for about 10 to 30 seconds |
|
Gas valve trial |
The valve opens for about 4 to 7 seconds while the control looks for flame |
|
Flame sensing |
A flame sensor typically reads about 2 to 6 microamps DC. No flame means the control closes the valve and retries. |
|
Blower on delay |
The blower starts about 30 to 90 seconds after ignition |
|
Blower off delay |
The blower keeps running about 60 to 120 seconds after the burners shut off |
|
Limit and rollout |
Open switches stop the burners to protect against overheating |
|
Item |
What to know |
|
Roof jack |
Carries the flue or duct through the roof. Some jacks suit downflow furnaces in mobile homes with flat roofs, while pitched roofs use slope-roof adapters, so match the jack to the roof type and furnace airflow direction. |
|
Telescopic roof jack |
Adjusts in length to reach the roof opening |
|
Jack extension |
Adds length, such as the 10 in galvanized steel 90-INSXT10-AL |
|
Crown |
Top cap for the jack, such as 90-RJCRWN-AL |
|
