A burner assembly is provided including a plurality of burners. Each burner includes a burner tube having an inlet, an outlet, and a burner axis. A partition plate is arranged generally perpendicular to a horizontal plane defined by the plurality of burner axes. The partition plate includes a plurality of partition openings complementary to and arranged coaxially with the plurality of burners. An igniter is located near the plurality of burners and is configured to ignite a fuel and air mixture provided at the outlet of the burners. An ignited carryover includes a substantially identical first opening and second opening formed in the partition plate adjacent the igniter. The first opening and second openings are sized such that a sufficient amount of the fuel and air mixture reaches the igniter without cooling the igniter.

A condensate collector box includes a furnace mounting plate having a first edge portion, a second edge portion that extends from the first edge portion, at least one vent drain channel that extends along one of the first and second edge portions, and a heat exchanger condensate collection area. The condensate collector box also includes an inducer fan mounting member having a first surface and opposing second surface arranged upon the furnace mounting plate to form a condensate collection zone. The inducer fan mounting member includes at least one inducer fan drain passage that is fluidly connected to the at least one vent drain channel.

Gas furnace condensate collector box

A condensate collector system includes a condensate collector box having at least one condensate outlet port, and a condensate trap fluidly connected to the at least one condensate outlet port. The condensate trap is configured and disposed to be selectively positioned in multiple drain orientations relative to the condensate collector box to accommodate multiple installation configurations of the multi-poise gas furnace.

An inshot gas burner having an overall length of less than four inches that is capable of delivering between 5,000 and 5,800 Btus per unit length of burner per hour. The burner venturi section with a flame retainer positioned at its outlet that produces a firing rate of at least 9,900 Btus per inch of diffuser length.

A multipoise furnace cabinet includes right and left sides with top and bottom plates connecting upper and lower parts of the right and left sides together. In one embodiment, top and bottom plates include vent cutouts. A side of the top plate has a first partially cut section that aligns with a second partially cut section in a door to the furnace cabinet, wherein the first and second partially cut sections substantially describe a circle, such that when the first and second partially cut sections are removed from the door and the cabinet, a resulting opening permits entry of a flue vent pipe. Front edges of the right and left cabinet sides are flanged, as are the front edges of the top and bottom plates. In another embodiment, the vent cutouts are entirely within the door.

Multipoise furnace cabinet

A one piece cell panel for a forced air furnace which is designed for ease of removal without the necessity of having to dismantle the furnace cabinet. The panel includes a substantially vertically disposed upper section which contains a plurality of cell inlets and cell outlets and an integral lower horizontal shelf which is disposed at a predetermined acute angle downward below the horizontal. The cell panel has a substantially rectangular front profile and an &ldquo;L&rdquo; shaped side profile.
