Abstract

See full text

An exhaust fan blower is provided for use in induced draft furnaces. An integrally molded fan housing and exhaust conduit is provided of a material impervious to the corrosive effects of exhaust gas condensates. The conduit is of a round cross section to mate with an associated flue pipe. The fan blower includes a conduit in communication with a pilot light for constantly venting the pilot light irrespective of operation of the blower. A first bore in the fan blower housing provides means for monitoring the vacuum developed therein, while another bore provides a means for thermally sensing a blocked or restricted flue condition. A flange and mounting lugs about the periphery of the fan blower housing provide a means for mounting the system to the side of a furnace panel, while sealing such mounting engagement. A motor mounting bracket for the fan blower serves as a cooling fan guard and heat sink, having a bearing contact mounting seat cast integrally to the bracket.
