Hello,
Can someone please advise me as to what size heat exchanger I should use and how to install it.
House: 1,600 square feet, with poor insulation.
Furnace: Heil, Model #NTC6050FBG1, input BTU's: 55,000, converted to propane use.
AC Coil (sits directly on furnace), Model # EPD30B15C2, I believe it is a 30 ton. Size: 16" x 21"
Plenum: Size 14" x 16.5"
The furnace is incapable of heating the house when the temperature drops below 10 degree Fahrenheit. However, I believe the furnace can push enough air to work with a heat exchanger from the OWB.
OWB: 180 gallons, about 100' from the house. 1" pex lines, insulated with 1" pipe insulation, inside a 4" solid drainage pipe, buried between 3'-4' deep in sandy soil. Will also have to heat the hot water, and I may run a line to my garage that is also 100' away (if you think it is capable of heating both house and garage).
What size coil should I use and where and how should I install it, below the AC coil or above it in the plenum? I do have a heat exchanger that measures 16.5" x 22" (counting the copper pipes otherwise it would measure 16.5" x 19").
Any tips would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dean
