Typically 1000 cubic feet per minute (per linear running foot of the perimeter at the glass line) of air at a static pressure of 4 inches of water column if the requirement is only for the sidewalls. so for a 6 meter by 14 meter furnace the perimeter would be slightly less than 40 meters (131 feet) so the installed cooling would be 131000 CFM (2 blowers of 65000 CFM)
If the crown too is to be cooled a safer calculation would be 1950 cubic feet per minute. It is a trade off. More cooling will give a better life but a lower energy efficiency.
No, a gas furnace should not be installed on its side. Furnaces are designed to operate in a specific orientation for safety and efficiency, as improper installation can lead to issues with combustion, ventilation, and drainage. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines and local codes when installing a gas furnace to ensure safe and effective operation.
Yes refrigerant temperatures and pressures in the cooling mode of a heat pump is the same. They are both in the suction side and the discharge side of the system.
If the glass has a coating or film, that coating may be intended to be on one side or the other, so, yes, it WOULD be possible to install the glass improperly.
Stabilise the arc and optimize the operation of the furnace.
The refrigerant is pumped round the system, one way or the other. The warm side is the high-pressure side on one side of the nozzle.
The purpose of the vent on the furnace is to ventilate flue gases out side of the house.

The glass used building vehicles to US specifications must be (by law) tempered. A process that hardens the glass. Should the glass be hit by some object, a person's head or another hard object with enough force the glass shatters into small pieces or chunks of small pieces that easily separate along the cracks in the chucks. This is so there are no shards or long pieces of broken glass that could cut or penetrate a person nearby or during an accident. Glass is tempered by sudden but controlled cooling. The glass is formed; it's edges dressed or smoothed out rolled out of the furnace, cooled using usually 1 of three techniques. The glass does not flex very much; it will flex to a point and then shatter just like it was hit with a hard object. I suspect your side glass in your dodge was impacted on it's edge, flexed or stressed to a point to far from it's original shape.
Traditional thermostats use a sealed glass tube with a bubble of mercury as the low-voltage switch to activate the furnace relay switch. Two wires sealed into the glass are covered or uncoverd by the mercury as it sloshes from side to side in the tube. The tube is moved by a wound bi-metallic strip that coils or uncoils as the temperature changes.
A furnace vent is a metal pipe that extends from the furnace to the outside of the house. It is usually located on the side or roof of the house and is used to expel exhaust gases from the furnace.
there are two metal looking lines that screw into the radiator that is the cooling side
The arrow on a furnace filter indicates the direction of airflow, showing which side should face towards the furnace. The air should flow in the direction that the arrow is pointing when the filter is inserted.
Commercially produced glass can be classified as soda-lime, lead, fused silica, borosilicate, or 96 percent silica. Soda-lime glass consists of sand, limestone, soda ash, and cullet (broken glass). The manufacture of such glass is in four phases: (1) preparation of raw material (2) melting in a furnace, (3) forming and (4) finishing. The procedures for manufacturing glass are the same for all products except forming and finishing. Container glass and pressed and blown glass, 51 and 25 percent respectively of total soda-lime glass production, use pressing, blowing or pressing and blowing to form the desired product. Flat glass, which is the remainder, is formed by float, drawing, or rolling processes. As the sand, limestone, and soda ash raw materials are received, they are crushed and stored in separate elevated bins. These materials are then transferred through a gravity feed system to a weigher and mixer, where the material is mixed with cullet to ensure homogeneous melting. The mixture is conveyed to a batch storage bin where it is held until dropped into the feeder to the melting furnace. All equipment used in handling and preparing the raw material is housed separately from the furnace and is usually referred to as the batch plant. A furnace may have either side or end ports that connect brick checkers to the inside of the melter. As material enters the melting furnace through the feeder, it floats on the top of the molten glass already in the furnace. As it melts, it passes to the front of the melter and eventually flows through a throat leading to the refiner. In the refiner, the molten glass is heat conditioned for delivery to the forming process. After refining, the molten glass leaves the furnace through forehearths (except in the float process, with molten glass moving directly to the tin bath) and goes to be shaped by pressing, blowing, pressing and blowing, drawing, rolling, or floating to produce the desired product. Pressing and blowing are performed mechanically, using blank molds and glass cut into sections (gobs) by a set of shears. In the drawing process, molten glass is drawn upward in a sheet through rollers, with thickness of the sheet determined by the speed of the draw and the configuration of the draw bar. The rolling process is similar to the drawing process except that the glass is drawn horizontally on plain or patterned rollers and, for plate glass, requires grinding and polishing. The end product undergoes finishing (decorating or coating) and annealing (removing unwanted stress areas in the glass) as required, and is then inspected and prepared for shipment to market.

I'm assuming that by "down draft furnace" you mean a counterflow or downflow furnace. This furnace takes its "cold air return" at the top, and blows the warm air out the bottom (typically, into ductwork that runs under the floor).Older downflow furnaces were dedicated to that configuration, and could not be mounted in other positions.Nowadays, most furnace manufacturers make "multi-poise" furnaces. They can be mounted in downflow, upflow, or side-flow positions, when they are installed according to the manufacturer's certified instructions.The HVAC Veteran
