This document describes the Amana ACVC96 Two-Stage, Variable-Speed ECM Gas Furnace, a heating and air conditioning unit designed for residential use.

Function Description

The ACVC96 is a high-efficiency gas furnace that provides heating for residential spaces. It operates on a two-stage heating principle, allowing for more precise temperature control and energy efficiency compared to single-stage furnaces. The variable-speed ECM (Electronically Commutated Motor) blower system contributes to quiet operation and optimized airflow, which can enhance both heating and cooling performance. It is compatible with ComfortNet™ Communicating Systems, enabling advanced control and diagnostics when paired with compatible thermostats. The furnace is designed for multi-position installation, accommodating downflow, horizontal left, or horizontal right configurations.

Important Technical Specifications

Heating Data:

AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency): Up to 96%, indicating high energy efficiency.
Heating Input Range: 40,000 to 120,000 BTU/h (British Thermal Units per Hour), with specific models offering inputs such as 40,000, 60,000, 80,000, 100,000, and 120,000 BTU/h.
Heating Output Range: Corresponding outputs from 38,400 to 115,200 BTU/h.
Low-Fire Steady-State Input/Output: Ranges from 28,000 to 84,000 BTU/h input and 26,880 to 80,640 BTU/h output, demonstrating its two-stage capability.
Temperature Rise Range: Varies by model, e.g., 20-50°F, 35-65°F, 25-55°F, 45-75°F.
Vent Diameter: 2" - 3", depending on the model and installation requirements.
Number of Burners: Ranges from 2 to 6, depending on the BTU/h input.
Gas Valve: Two-stage, providing quiet and economical heating.
NOx Emissions: Low NOx (40ng/J) compliant models available.

Circulator Blower:

Motor Type: Variable Speed ECM.
Available AC @ 0.5" ESP: Ranges from 1.5-3 to 2-5, indicating its capacity to move air against static pressure.
Size (D x W): Varies by model, e.g., 10"x8", 11"x8", 11"x10", 11"x11".
Horsepower @ 1075 RPM: Ranges from ½ to 1 HP.

Electrical Data:

Min. Circuit Ampacity: Ranges from 7.8 to 14.4 amps.
Max. Overcurrent Device (amps): Ranges from 15 to 20 amps.
Power Supply: 115 VAC, 60 Hz, single-phase.

Physical Dimensions:

Cabinet Widths: Available in 17½", 21", and 24½".
Height: Approximately 34" for all models.
Depth: Approximately 25¾" for all models.
Shipping Weight: Ranges from 116 lbs to 158 lbs.

Cabinet Features:

Construction: Heavy-gauge steel cabinet with a durable finish.
Insulation: Fully insulated heat exchanger and blower section for quiet operation and reduced heat loss.
Air Leakage: Cabinet air leakage (QLeak) ≤ 2%, contributing to efficiency.
Return Air: Airtight solid bottom or side return with easy-cut tabs for effortless removal in bottom air-inlet applications.

Usage Features

Multi-Position Installation: Designed for flexibility in installation, supporting downflow, horizontal left, or horizontal right configurations.
Ventilation Options: Certified for direct vent (2-pipe) or non-direct vent (1-pipe) applications.
Convenient Connections: Left or right connections for gas and electrical service simplify installation.
ComfortNet™ Communicating System Compatibility: Allows for advanced system control and diagnostics when used with a ComfortNet™ thermostat. This system can optimize performance, enhance dehumidification, and provide detailed fault codes.
Two-Stage Heating: Provides more consistent temperatures and greater comfort by operating at a lower capacity for most of the time and only ramping up to full capacity when needed. This also contributes to energy savings.
Variable-Speed Airflow System: Gently ramps up or down, reducing noise and improving air circulation. This feature also supports enhanced dehumidification and Auto-Comfort modes.
Multiple Continuous Fan Speed Options: Offers quiet air circulation even when the furnace is not actively heating or cooling.
Low NOx Emissions: Complies with California 40 ng/J standards, making it suitable for regions with strict environmental regulations.
High-Altitude Operation: Accessories (HASFK kits) are available for converting the furnace for high-altitude natural gas or LP gas operation.
Dual Fuel Capability: Can be integrated into a dual fuel system with an appropriate kit (AFE18-60A).

Maintenance Features

Self-Diagnostic Control Board: Equipped with a control board that stores a history of fault codes in constant memory. These codes can be displayed on a dual 7-segment display, aiding in quick troubleshooting and diagnosis by technicians.
Durable Components: Features a heavy-duty stainless-steel tubular heat exchanger, stainless-steel secondary heat exchanger, and a durable Silicon Nitride igniter, all designed for long-lasting performance and reduced maintenance needs.
Quiet Two-Speed Induced Draft Blower: Designed for reliable and quiet operation, minimizing wear and tear.
Accessibility: A 24" front clearance is required for servicing or cleaning, ensuring technicians can easily access internal components. Unit connections (electrical, flue, and drain) may necessitate greater clearances than the minimum listed above.
Filter Sizes: Minimum filter sizes are specified, with options for top or bottom return, ensuring proper airflow and protection of internal components. Regular filter replacement is a key maintenance item.
Warranty: Includes a Lifetime Heat Exchanger Limited Warranty, a Lifetime Unit Replacement Limited Warranty (both good for as long as you own your home), and a 10-Year Parts Limited Warranty. Online registration within 60 days of installation is required to activate these warranties (not required in California or Québec).
