Nordyne Elec. Furnace Filters System?
Posted: Fri Nov 06, 2009 4:06 pm
Hi there:
Nordyne Electric Furnace - Model #: E2-EB-015-HA
I have a mobile home that I inherited on my farm property and have new renters occupying it.
We are completely baffled by the seeming lack of a filter system on the unit, and I suspect that one was not installed or ??
It appears to be a Nordyne E2 Electric Furnace and seems to have been installed to be "downdraft" according to the pictures in the manual. The coils & pins system is indeed on top of the unit, but the coils are caked with dirt and there is no apparently place where a filters would go. The pictures in the manual just say "coil air filters" with an arrow pointing to the coils.
It seems like there would be some sort of frame surrounding the 2 coils (the ones that peak in the shape of an inverted triangle), that would hold filters over the coils - is that what is supposed to be there? Otherwise from the pictures, it would seem that any filters would just be lying on top of the coils - ???
The inside of this area is quite dirty and full of dust, etc and I cannot imagine that this is the air that should be recirculating into the system.
I see on this site that there are a variety of filters one can buy, but am not clear at all on where they actually are supposed to go and how they would stay over the coils (if that's where they'd go!)
Also the unit has a very cheap filter duct-taped to the back of the inside of the air return grille covering this area. If we put a high end pleating filter, there is nothing that would hold it in place in the grille (without the duct tape.)
Any ideas on how this system is supposed to be property filtered? And where we are supposed to put the filters? and how they are supposed to stay in place? LOL!!!
BTW, there are also some completely disgusting looking foam side panels on the inside walls of where the blower unit is, as well as one inside the flat solid door panel that covers the blower, control panels, etc area. Are these supposed to be replaceable? I'm not clear on why one would have sponge-type filters in a solid door panel and not where the grille is where air would come thru? or on the side walls - ?
Any help would be most appreciated.
Many thanks.
