Episode: Furnace Commissioning Part 1 w/ Jim Bergmann - Input / Rise
Description: In today's podcast episode, Jim Bergmann covers furnace commissioning, including setting up furnace input, clocking the meter, setting temperature rise, and much more. The goal of commissioning is to optimize a furnace's efficiency; we want to make sure we correctly engineer the intake/exhaust system to extract as much heat from the flue gas as possible. The commissioning process for an 80% furnace is pretty similar to that of a high-efficiency furnace. Checking gas pressure, setting temperature rise, and combustion analysis are critical procedures when commissioning both furnace types. Moreover, you must know the heat content of the...
