FASCO Draft Inducers


Fasco draft inducers are used in heating and ventilation systems. These inducers are ideal for the safe operation of boilers, gas furnaces and water heaters through proper venting of combustion gases. They create a controlled draft by removing exhaust gases and preventing back-drafting.

Draft Inducers

Fasco draft inducers are designed to properly vent and exhaust combustible gases present in gas furnaces. They also help in facilitating continuous and steady supply of oxygen to the furnace burners which further improves the system's overall efficiency. These Fasco draft inducer blowers consist of a motor-driven wheel assembly or fan, an electrical box for power connections and a metal sleeve surrounding the assembly. They feature a centrifugal switch / electronic sensor / vacuum tap to send a signal to the gas valve which indicates that the blower is working. This helps in avoiding gas valves from turning ON prematurely. These induced draft blowers require 115 / 120 / 230 volts to operate and are come in steel or plastic housing and in different height options.

Working Mechanism

  • These draft inducers work by using a motor-driven fan to create negative air pressure in the combustion chamber of a heating system.
  • This negative pressure helps draw in the necessary air for combustion.
  • It also assists in expelling combustion byproducts through the flue or chimney.
  • Essentially, draft inducers ensure that combustion processes are efficient & safe by optimising air intake and exhaust.
  • This improvement in combustion enhances heating system performance.

Features

  • They feature plastic / steel construction for durability and structural rigidity.
  • These Fasco draft inducers consist of a motor-driven wheel assembly or fan, an electrical box for power connections and a metal sleeve surrounding the assembly.
  • They offer a centrifugal switch / electronic sensor / vacuum tap to transmit a signal to the gas valve, indicating the operational status of the blower.
  • These Fasco draft inducers are available in voltage ratings of 115, 120 and 230 volts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the factors to consider while choosing these Fasco draft inducers?

When choosing a draft inducer, consider factors such as compatibility with your heating equipment, airflow requirements, size of the heating system, fuel type and installation requirements.

How do I install these Fasco draft inducers?

  • Ensure the heating system's power is switched off before installation.
  • Verify compatibility with your system and local building codes.
  • Collect necessary tools and safety gear like screwdrivers and pliers.
  • Choose and securely mount an appropriate location for the draft inducer.
  • Use provided brackets or hardware to secure the draft inducer.
  • Connect airtight inlet and outlet piping or ductwork.
  • Connect the venting system to safely expel exhaust gases.

What are the safety precautions to consider while using these draft inducers?

  • Turn off power before conducting maintenance or repairs.
  • Schedule regular inspections to check for wear, connections and corrosion.
  • Verify proper installation and functioning of safety switches, like pressure switches.
  • Be vigilant for gas leaks and unusual odours and install carbon monoxide detectors.
  • Regularly inspect venting systems for obstructions to ensure safe exhaust.
  • Maintain proper ventilation for safe combustion byproduct expulsion.
  • Maintain adequate clearance around equipment for airflow and access.
  • Install and maintain carbon monoxide detectors near heating equipment.
  • Establish a regular maintenance schedule for heating system components.
