Thank you, I went to your playlist and was excited to see the information about heat pumps! I'm really interested in knowing more about the heat pump set ups.
Two Questions: 1. I am assuming that the inducer motor stays on the whole time, correct? 2. On this furnace, is the only air for burning coming from the input pvc pipe? (In other words, there's no vents sucking air in from the room)
1 - the inducer motor runs a couple minutes before combustion and during combustion. Once there is no heat call, it will shut off with the gas valve (or shortly thereafter)
2 - Correct. In this particular video, we used a condensing high-efficiency (90 to 98% AFUE) furnace. These furnaces will take in combustion air thru a PVC pipe directly from the outdoors. This is sometimes referred to as separated combustion. With less efficient (80 to 86% AFUE) non-condensing furnaces, the combustion section of the furnace will draw air in thru louvers in the front door and hence "steal" air from the room.
I don't know, All this Technology is nice but Stuff is not as reliable or long lasting as simpler components. Sometime I think we have gone overboard with electronics. TV's are a good example. They fry out and it's impossible to repair (Probably Intentionally). Same with washer and dryers. And when things break, it's almost impossible to repair yourself without gauges and other specific tools. I have been trying to hold on to older, less efficient products as long as possible.
Yes, this furnace does have flame roll-out switches. We have another video that details all of the components of a furnace that you might find useful. ruclips.net/video/GWJa5BK2mcY/видео.htmlm17s
That thermostat has me reevaluating my whole existence. Very impressive.
Consider setting up playlist so I could easily find part 1 of 2. Great job!
We do have a furnace playlist on our channel already... it includes 28 videos

So this system is a condensing unit. How I know it's condensing is PVC exhaust piping and atmosheric is steel piping with bell reducer?
Correct. That particular unit in the video is a 98% efficient condensing gas furnace.

What does it mean, control has 24 Vac power?
What specifically are you asking? 24v is the normal control voltage used for HVAC.
24 Volts AC
very impressive
thank you very educative . regards
