A-Coil placement
« on: September 14, 2017, 01:08:03 PM »
I successfully raised my A-Coil 6" yesterday so I can JUST slip in my HX. When I popped the plenum open on my forced air LP furnace, I saw that there was a  aluminum box spacer on each side of the A-coil but it wasn't blocking the side completely so air was forced to only travel through the A-coil.

I assume that just like the HX, the space around the A-coil should be blocked so 100% of the air goes through the a-coil for maximum transfer of cold to the air. We are talking at least 3"x 10" on each side of gaping hole. 60 sq inches!

Any reason to not have 100% or was the installer just lazy?
