Abstract

See full text

Apparatus and methods are provided for compensating for high altitude reduction in the heating capacity of a gas heating appliance, illustratively a gas-fired heating furnace. In a representative embodiment of such apparatus and methods the regulated pressure of the furnace gas valve, and the speeds of its combustion and indoor blowers, are coordinatingly increased to provide the furnace with a substantially unchanged maximum heating output despite its new higher altitude location.
