Furnace
A furnace is disclosed. The furnace may include an enclosure having a vertical support column formed by a heat exchanger compartment panel and a blower compartment panel. The furnace may include a window assembly having venting openings hidden by a viewing window. The furnace may also include a rail to support a removable heat exchanger system. The furnace may further include a wire retaining fin assembly to retain a wire. A heat exchanger header design including features to retain a sealant is also disclosed.
1. A furnace, comprising:
a burner system;
a heat exchanger system; and
a blower system,
wherein:
the blower system includes a housing, the housing including:
a first fin projecting from the housing, the first fin having a first tip and extending towards the first tip along a first longitudinal axis,
a second fin projecting from the housing, the second fin having a second tip and extending towards the second tip along a second longitudinal axis,
the first and second tips are offset from one another with respect to a divide line, the divide line extending in a direction parallel to least one of the first longitudinal axis and the second longitudinal axis, and
an offset space is between the first tip and the second tip wherein the first tip and the second tip are offset in a direction perpendicular to the divide line.
2. The furnace of claim 1 , wherein a retaining space is formed between the housing, the first fin, and the second fin by the curvature of the first fin and the curvature of the second fin.
3. The furnace of claim 2 , further comprising a wire located in the retaining space.
4. The furnace of claim 3 , wherein the wire extends through the retaining space in a direction perpendicular to the divide line.
5. The furnace of claim 1 , wherein the first fin and the second fin are each formed integrally with the housing.
6. The furnace of claim 1 , wherein the divide line is located where a first segment of the housing meets a second segment of the housing.
7. The furnace of claim 6 , wherein the first fin is formed integrally with the first segment and the second fin is formed integrally with the second segment.
