摘要:
A blower for a high efficiency furnace is provided with an increased interior space for accommodating an impeller of maximum practicable diameter. The blower includes a blower motor and a blower housing having a bottom piece and a top piece assembling with the bottom piece to define an interior of the blower housing. The top piece includes an annular lower support portion for supporting the blower motor and an annular upper portion extending above and around the lower portion. The upper portion has an outer peripheral edge and lugs extending outward beyond the outer peripheral edge. The lugs have lug holes to receive mechanical fasteners to secure the blower housing to an external device. The head of the mechanical fasteners are positioned above the lugs on the upper portion of the top piece. In this arrangement the diameter of the bottom piece is not limited by a need to accommodate spacing for the head of the mechanical fastener. Additionally, the top piece and bottom piece have interlocking internal seals that provide positive engagement when the blower housing is assembled.

A blower housing having a casing with a resilient bottom piece and a rigid top piece assembling with the bottom piece to define an interior of the casing is provided. The bottom piece of the blower housing directly abuts a blower mounting surface. The top piece supports a blower motor. The bottom piece is constructed from a vibration dampening material. The top piece is constructed from a rigid material. The vibration absorbing material attenuates noise and other vibrations transmitted from the blower motor and impeller of the blower housing to the blower mounting surface and other associated structures.

A blower housing may be used with a climate control furnace or with a water heater and provides cooling of the motor that rotates the blower fan and also provides dilution and cooling of exhaust gases drawn from the furnace or water heater. The housing is constructed with one side that is positioned in a single plane that is easily mounted to a flat surface of the furnace or water heater and can be sealed against the surface. The housing is provided with an interior heat shield that insulates the exterior surface of the housing and with a noise muffler.

A blower for a furnace is provided with an exhaust flange having a compressible end portion, and a flexible fitting adapted to receive an exhaust pipe is insertable into an interior of the exhaust flange. A clamp compresses the compressible end portion about the flexible fitting and the exhaust pipe to secure the exhaust pipe to the blower. A drain may be provided adjacent the compressible end portion to remove condensate which may be entrained in the exhaust gases from the exhaust pipe, exhaust fitting and exhaust flange.

A two-piece blower housing may be used with a climate control furnace or with a water heater and provides cooling of the motor that rotates the blower fan and also provides dilution and cooling of exhaust gases drawn from the furnace or water heater. The housing is also constructed with one side that is positioned in a single plane that is easily mounted to a flat surface of the furnace or water heater and can be seated against the surface.

A blower for a furnace is provided where the blower has a housing with an industry standard 4″ diameter exhaust port. The discharge of the blower housing is coupled directly to exhaust piping without the use of transition pieces or expender pieces.
摘要:
A blower for a furnace is provided where the blower has an impeller that is configured to create a primary air flow of combustion air into the blower housing and a secondary air flow of cooling air through the blower motor. The primary air flow of combustion air into the furnace generates hot exhaust gases for a heat exchanger in the furnace. The secondary air flow cools the blower motor. The secondary air flow is mixed with the hot exhaust gases in the blower housing and cools the exhaust gases before being discharged from the blower housing.
