FASCO A143 Draft Blower 115V 1/50 HP

Fasco A143 induced draft furnace blower enhances the efficiency of combustion processes by creating a negative pressure within the furnace or boiler. It is used in manufacturing, power generation and heating system applications. This blower ensures a clean and safe environment and also maximises heat transfer.

Working Mechanism:

• Natural gas is used to generate heat in a heating system. This combustion process produces warm air for heating purposes.
• The A143 induced draft furnace blower is installed at the heat exchanger's exhaust or flue exit.
• Within the flue system, it provides a controlled negative pressure or suction.
• The blower's negative pressure pushes hot combustion gases away from the heat exchanger and into the flue, preventing any gas from seeping into the living space.
• Fresh air is brought into the combustion chamber at the same time, maintaining a constant supply of oxygen for the combustion process.

Features:

• Fasco A143 induced draft furnace blower has MAG-MATE terminals that ensure gas-tight connections.
• It features a shaded pole design for low power consumption.
• This blower also has forward-curved steel wheels for improved airflow.
• It is heat-protected and has Class B insulation.
• This single-speed blower is ideal for long-term fixed-speed operation.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How do I maintain this Fasco A143 draft blower?

A. Regular maintenance includes cleaning the blades, lubricating moving parts, checking the motor and inspecting the housing for any leaks or damage.

Q. Are there any safety considerations when using induced draft blowers?

A. Adequate ventilation, protection from moving parts and compliance with safety regulations are essential.

Q. What is the difference between an induced draft blower and a forced draft blower?

A. An induced draft blower creates negative pressure to draw air or gases out of a system, while a forced draft blower operates by creating positive pressure to push air or gases into a system.

Q. How do I power this Fasco induced draft blower?

A. Electric motors are necessary for this Fasco A143 draft blower to operate.
