Mike Lamb Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 How much flame roll out is OK with an in-shot furnace? Should all the flame shoot down the burner port? I have written up a couple lately that seemed excessive but I'm not exactly sure what excessive is. Click to Enlarge 33.93 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 I think you're looking at the ignition line. There's gotta be a way for the flame to engage down the line. I don't know if there's specific terminology for that area, but it's on every furnace I see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Katen Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 I call it the crossover flame. But it doesn't usually look that big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Whitmore Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Crossover/ carryover flame. It's hard to tell from a picture.... Those burners can be replaced within a minute or two if it's actually an issue, which I doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Fabry Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 A Realtor would say, "Furnace operating at 115% of its listed capacity." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[:-thumbu][:-thumbu] If it rolls way out and makes a big boom when it fires up start looking for a cracked heat exchanger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
