Separate Primary and Condensing Heat Ex-
changers
1. Remove the screws that attach the condensing heat ex-
changer assembly to the primary cell outlet panel and re-
move the screws that attach the condensing heat exchanger
outlet panel to the primary inlet panel.
2. Gently use a putty knife or gasket scraper to get between the
primary cell inlet panel and condensing heat exchanger if it
is needed to break the seal between the parts.
3. Repeat the procedure at the primary cell outlet panel and
containment plate attached to the inlet of the secondary heat
exchanger.
Remove Primary and Condensing Heat Exchanger
NOTE: The primary heat exchanger assembly is factory--
assembled at primary cell attachment plate and the primary rear cell
outlet panel. The individual heat exchanger cells cannot be
removed in the field and are replaced as one assembly.
1. Remove screws that attach the sidewall baffles to the heat
exchanger cell panel. See Fig. 6.
NOTE: The front edge of the sidewall baffle has a slot that
engages a tab on the primary cell panel. See Fig. 6.
2. Avoid damaging the cell panel insulation by pulling the
sidewall baffle outward from the rear of coupling box, then
pull the baffle backward to slide the baffle off of the locator
tab on the cell panel.
3. Repeat the procedure for the opposite side baffle.
4. Separate the Primary Heat Exchanger from the Condensing
Heat Exchanger.
5. Discard failed Condensing Heat Exchanger assembly.
Turbulator Removal
NOTE: The turbulators are factory--installed in a replacement
condensing heat exchanger. It is not necessary to remove them to
replace a condensing Heat Exchanger Assembly. If it is necessary
to remove the turbulators, perform the following steps:
1. Bend the end of turbulator strip that holds it inside the sec-
ondary heat exchanger tube straight.
NOTE: Use caution when removing the turbulator strips. Do not
bend, twist kink or flatten the turbulator strip. A damaged
turbulator strip must be replaced with the identical type of
turbulator strip used with the furnace. Do not use a turbulator strip
from a different model family of furnaces. Efficiency, reliability or
unit operation may be affected.
2. Pull the turbulator strip outward from the tube.
3. Repeat the step for each turbulator.
4. Wipe each turbulator off with a clean, soft cloth.
BEGIN RE--ASSEMBLY
Turbulator Installation
NOTE: The turbulators are factory--installed in a replacement
condensing heat exchanger. If the turbulators were removed for
cleaning, re--install the turbulators as follows:
1. Make sure that one end to the turbulator strip is bent 90 de-
grees.
NOTE: Use caution when installing the turbulator strips. Do not
bend, twist kink or flatten the turbulator strip. A damaged
turbulator strip must be replaced with the identical type of
turbulator strip used with the furnace. Do not use a turbulator strip
from a different model family of furnaces. Efficiency, reliability or
unit operation may be affected.
2. Push the straight end of turbulator strip forward into the sec-
ondary heat exchanger tube until the angled end is against
the edge of the tube.
3. Repeat the step for each turbulator.
4. Bend the straight end of the turbulator strip over 90 degrees
to hold the turbulator in the secondary heat exchanger tube.
Install Containment Plate
NOTE: Both the containment plate and secondary heat exchanger
panel surfaces must be clean and dry. All loose or residual sealant
must be removed from the mating surfaces.
NOTE: Do not use a releasing agent on the Containment Plate or
Heat Exchanger Assembly.
1. Apply a 3/16” wide bead of high adhesion (grey) silicone,
Novaguard 400--303 RTV, or equivalent as noted on page 1,
around the Containment Plate as shown in Fig. 7. Note the
orientation of the plate in Fig. 7
2. Align the containment plate as shown in Fig. 7.
3. Temporarily hold the containment plate in place by in-
stalling one screw through the hole on each side of the con-
tainment plate.
NOTE: After the primary heat exchanger assembly is attached to
the secondary heat exchanger, these screws will be removed to
allow the coupling box cover to be installed.
Attaching Primary and Condensing Heat
Exchangers
1. Align the bottom edge primary cell outlet panel with the top
edge of the condensing heat exchanger assembly, and align
the top edge of the condensing heat exchanger outlet panel
with the bottom edge of the primary cell inlet panel.
2. The orange foam gasket must be between the primary cell
outlet panel and the containment plate that is temporarily at-
tached to the condensing heat exchanger. The white fiber
gasket or equivalent must be between the primary cell inlet
panel and the condensing heat exchanger outlet panel.
3. Insert all the screws, except the outboard screws in the
primary outlet panel, to secure the primary heat exchanger
panels to the condensing heat exchanger panels (front and
back). See Fig. 5.
4. Remove the screws used to temporarily hold the Contain-
ment Plate in place.
Install Coupling Box Cover/Finger Baffles
1. Apply a 1/4” bead of low adhesion silicone (white) to the
coupling box cover in the pattern shown in Fig. 7.
2. Align the Coupling Box Cover over the rear of the Heat Ex-
changer Assembly. See Fig. 5 and Fig. 4.
3. Install the screws that secure the bottom edge and sides of
the Coupling Box to the Heat Exchanger Assembly.
4. Align the Finger Baffles along the top edge of the Coupling
Box Cover. See Fig. 5.
5. Install the screws for the Finger Baffles and the remaining
screws for the top edge of the Coupling Box Cover.
6. Align the sidewall baffles to the heat exchanger cell panel.
See Fig. 4 and Fig. 6.
NOTE: The front edge of the sidewall baffle has a slot that
engages a tab on the primary cell panel.
7. Avoid damaging the cell panel insulation by inserting the
sidewall baffle inward from the rear of coupling box to the
indexing tab on the Primary Cell Panel, then align the baffle
with the Coupling Box Cover.
8. Secure the Sidewall Baffles with the screws.
Install Sidewall Baffles
1. Insert the slot on the sidewall baffle over the tab on the
primary cell panel. See Fig. 6.
2. Insert the screws that attach the sidewall baffle to the
primary cell panel.
3. Align the rear edge of the baffle with the screw holes in the
coupling box cover.
4. Insert the screws that attach the sidewall baffles to the coup-
ling box.
