When it is time to replace it, keeping the same format limits changes to the ductwork. The Conforto KLE-02-G018-03 is the 18 kW version of this upflow Lowboy: 61,460 BTU\/h at 240 V, for a house that needs more heat than a 15 kW Lowboy can supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 1\/3 HP three-speed PSC motor pushes air through the ducts, with a published airflow of 1,100 CFM at HIGH speed, at 0.2 in of water column.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSteadier heat\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts four elements of 5, 4, 5 and 4 kW work in two stages. The first brings in 9 kW; the second raises output to 18 kW. The staged elements are controlled by heavy-duty relays, and the control board offers LED diagnostics. With a single-stage thermostat, the ComfortMax function analyzes each cycle and modulates the elements to avoid short cycles. The QuietComfort function preheats recirculated air at low energy to even out the step from one stage to the next. Conforto publishes a temperature rise of 55 to 75 °F, which we check at commissioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBefore installation: panel, floor and ducts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree checks come before any order. First the panel: Conforto calls for a 100 A minimum circuit ampacity, a breaker of no more than 100 A and 3 AWG wire, at 240 V single phase. Then the floor: the cabinet takes 21 1\/2 x 44 in for 34 1\/2 in of height and installs in upflow only. Finally the ducts: the warm air plenum is 20 x 20 in and the return 18 1\/2 x 18 1\/2 in, and we plan the transitions needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe furnace also accepts an air conditioner or heat pump coil of up to 3 tons. Sold alone, it is not a heat pump and does not qualify for the LogisVert grant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation by AirGreen\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAirGreen is a family business established in \u003cstrong\u003eMontreal\u003c\/strong\u003e for more than fifteen years.
