Abstract: Embodiments relate generally to mounting components of a furnace. A mounting assembly may include brackets attached to a burner box of the furnace. Each bracket includes an opening configured to receive a gas line, a recess configured to receive a gas supply valve, a pressure transducer aperture configured to receive a pressure transducer, and slots adjacent to the pressure transducer aperture. The slots are configured to secure the pressure transducer to the bracket.

Abstract: A furnace may include a furnace cabinet, an inducer blower, and a flue vent adapter. The furnace is configured as a multi-poise furnace and configured to be installed and operated in each of the horizontal left flow orientation, the horizontal right flow orientation, the upflow orientation, and the downflow orientation. The flue vent adapter is used when the furnace is installed and operated in the downflow orientation. Alternatively, the flue vent adapter is used when the furnace is installed and operated in each of the horizontal left flow orientation and the horizontal right flow orientation. The flue vent adapter has a unitary construction to reduce manufacturing costs, reduce a pressure drop through the flue vent adapter, and reduce leakage.

Abstract: A heat exchanger tube includes a first pass for at least partially combusting a fuel and the first pass having a modified shape including a minor diameter and major diameter that reduces the external pressure drop of an external fluid flowing across the heat exchanger tube. A HVACR system includes a heat exchanger tube with a first heat exchange pass that at least partially combusts a fuel and has a modified shape. A method of making a heat exchanger including configuring a first heat exchange pass such that the major diameter of modified portion of the first heat exchange pass is oriented towards an incoming direction of the process fluid.

Abstract: A heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system may include a heat exchanger comprising at least one heat exchanger tube. The heat exchanger tube may include multiple passes: a first pass, a second pass having an elliptical portion with ribs disposed in the elliptical portion, a third pass having an elliptical portion with ribs disposed in the elliptical portion, and a fourth pass having an elliptical portion with ribs disposed in the elliptical portion. The first pass and the second pass may be connected in fluid communication by a first bend, the second pass and the third pass may be connected in fluid communication by a second bend, and the third pass and the fourth pass may be connected in fluid communication by a third bend. The heat exchanger tube may be configured to promote heat transfer while also controlling a pressure drop across the heat exchanger tube.
