Mobile Home furnaces are different from conventional furnaces , due to
the increased ESP encountered in Mobile Home duct systems . Has
anyone actually checked to see what the ESP was on a Mobile Home duct
system ? Im curious to know how much higher they run than the standard
0.5" that typical furnace blower assemblys are designed for. I cannot
find Fan Charts for any of the common Mobile Home Furnace Mfgrs .
Thanks.

Look again. They are there. Check ACCA's manual J and D for trailer homes.
Email Don Steeth in Canada. He put together HVAC-Calc software and that
also covers mobile home units. The blowers on those make up any difference.

REPLY: Thanks Zero for the site. The online search i conducted
yeilded insufficient info. In paragraph 3, it says .3" ESP and
higher is the design criteria ...but, Id like to know what these duct
systems typically run in a double wide, 1400 sq. ft. Mobile Home
having Two standard : 14x4" trunk ducts with crossover duct with 3.5
tons of Cooling . Have you taken any actual measurements yourself ?
I have a feeling it is considerably more than .5" otherwise
conventional Home Furnaces would be applied to Mobile Homes too.
Thanks .
