Note: Arrangement may vary slightly depending
on gas valve; components are the same.
The gas train (
FIGURE 51) in a furnace with this type of electronic modulation control
includes a single-stage gas valve, a modulating valve, and two gas pressure switches.
The burner rack is equipped with one flash carryover and a regulated gas lighter tube
system. The carryover lighter tube receives its gas supply through the regulator, simul-
taneously with the gas to the burner. Control of the system is through a Maxitrol ampli-
fier with a corresponding remote temperature dial.

The furnace with this type of electronic modulation will ignite at any input rate in the
available range and will maintain average thermal efficiencies equal to or greater than
the thermal efficiency at full fire. The following table applies to the furnace with the
manifold illustrated in
FIGURE 51.
The gas supply (6" w.c. required) connects to the single-stage gas valve. To compen-
sate for additional pressure loss through the modulating valve, the single-stage gas
valve has a custom outlet pressure setting higher than when it is used on a standard
gas manifold. The pilot tubing connects to the pilot port on the single-stage gas valve.
When the valve receives a call for heat from the amplifier and pilot is established, gas
flow from the single-stage valve goes to both the modulating valve and the regulated
lighter tube system.
When the signal from the amplifier to the modulating valve
requires less-than-high fire operation, the modulating valve functions to lessen the
gas flow to the burner to reduce the input rate to that required to maintain the desired
temperature. When the input rate is reduced enough to decrease the gas pressure to
1.1" w.c., the primary gas pressure switch in the manifold activates the gear motor that
controls the bypass damper in the venter/combustion air system. The bypass damper
opens diverting some of the incoming air directly into the flue duct, reducing airflow
through the burner. Safety switches monitor the position of the bypass damper. When
the gas pressure increases above 1.1" w.c., the bypass damper closes.
