Charge voltage while running furnace

For a while a two speed furnace was made. I don't remember the details but it seemed a good idea to me.

It is designed for duct work but is only about 10000 btu's. 1.9 amps continuous running. 85 cubic feet per minute.

Not according to the maker.

"Low amp draw of 2.9 amps."

Again not designed for duct work.

But only 12000 BTU's and not designed for duct work.

As does the Atwood 8012II

Jeezo I have muffin fans that draw 2.0 amps. My Endless breeze fans draw 2.0 amps. Does the water/flame furnace BLOW air or does it merely weep out of the vents? An RV'er here, moans about his beach camp tent-trailer all the time. Says the fan draws "six amps" which is suspect as he doesn't seem to have instrumentation. Heating a tent doesn't seem to be on an intelligence par with Stephen Hawking, either.

My furnace was drawing 5A or more and was sucking in some cr-ap that was burning and triggering smoke detector. I can't understand how people can sleep with this thing. Gave the bastard out for adoption and put Olympian Cat 6 on the wall. Piece and quiet now, battery is happy too. Got plenty of storage space where the furnace was under sofa.

The fan motor on my forced air unit heater pulls about 5 amps. A platinum propane heater like a Olympic Catalytic 3 or CAT 6 pulls 0 amps, and saves battery charge too.
