GAS HEATING SYSTEM
General
The heat exchanger system consists of a gas valve feeding
multiple inshot burners off a manifold. The burners fire
into matching primary tubes. The tubes exit into the
collector box, the into the induced draft fan wheel inlet.
The induced fan wheel discharges into a flue passage and
flue gases exit out a flue hood on the side of the unit. The
induced draft fan motor includes a Hall Effect sensor
circuit that confirms adequate wheel speed through the
Integrated Gas Control (IGC) board. Safety switches
include a Rollout Switch mounted at the top of the burner
compartment. A limit switch is mounted through the side
of the fan deck over the tubes. The vestibule plate faces
the tubes. See Fig. 48 and Fig. 50.

Fuel Types and Pressures
Natural Gas
The 48HC unit is factory--equipped for use with Natural
Gas fuel at elevation under 2000 ft (610 m). See section
Orifice Replacement for information in modifying this
unit for installation at elevations above 2000 ft (610 m).
Gas line pressure entering the unit’s main gas valve must
be within specified ranges. See Table 7. Adjust unit gas
regulator valve as required or consult local gas utility.

Liquid Propane
Accessory packages are available for field--installation
that will convert the 48HC unit to operate with Liquid
Propane (LP) fuels. These kits include new orifice spuds,
new springs for gas valves and a supply line low pressure
switch. See section on Orifice Replacement for details on
orifice size selections.
Fuel line pressure entering unit gas valve must remain
within specified range. See Table 9.

accessory kit to make initial readjustment.

Supply Pressure Switch
The LP conversion kit includes a supply low pressure
switch. The switch contacts (from terminal C to terminal
NO [Normally Open]) will open the gas valve power
whenever the supply line pressure drops below the
setpoint. See Fig. 51 and Fig. 52. The switch,
HK02LB008, opens contacts on pressure “fall” at
7.2”0.70” w.c. Contacts close on pressure rise above
10.2” w.c. If the low pressure remains open for 15 minutes
during a call for heat, the IGC circuit will initiate a
Ignition Fault (5 flashes) lockout. Reset of the low
pressure switch is automatic on rise in supply line
pressure. Reset of the IGC requires a recycle of unit
power after the low pressure switch has closed.
