The homeowner has to squeeze between the furnace and dryer to do laundry and at the time of furnace install carrier didn't have a design with flue pipes thru the top, now they do! I think an "M" coil would be much better? Again tho, width is a factor. We did find today that they are siding the house. It's an older ranch style and there is virtually NO insulation in the walls! I think we may have found our problem? I still don't think this system is performing the way it was designed to...
My 2.5 ton maintains 70* at 100*, 1250 sqft, no insulation, with a basement, masonry walls all the way up. Plenty of windows. 2 floors.
By the way, your moving 525 cfm per ton, according to your 1050. A tad high. It is possible to have to much air across the coil.
Which makes sense for your delta T.
I doubt low speed for a 60k is 2.5 tons of air though.
