Abstract
This concept is very new and it will allow for safe continued operation of heating units until the proper replacement draft induce fan can be acquired and installed. This invention is a supplemental draft induce fan that will attach to the exhaust output side of a heating units inoperable draft induce fan to draft air through it and create a vacuum to the pressure switch to make the heating unit work safely until the correct part is acquired and installed.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . Topside Draft Induce Fan
A motorized blower with a directed input for pulling a draft through an exhaust outlet comprising, Two opposite direction pointing housings on the blower for drawing air in from one direction, being attached to the exhaust outlet of the inoperative draft induce fan, and the other opening of the blower pointing in the opposite direction, being attached to the flue to expelled the air or byproducts of combustion to the atmosphere. This concept and device, when installed, will allow the heating unit to operate safely when the draft induce fan has stop working. To date, whenever the draft induce fan has stopped operating it first must be replaced to safely operate the heating unit. This device will pull the draft through the non-operating draft induce fan enough to clear the heat exchanger of any gas or fumes, helping in combustion, creating the proper vacuum to close the bellow switch which in turn will send the voltage to the ignitor and other parts that make the heating unit works. This device is design to serve as a temporary fix but can serve as long as needed until the proper drat induce fan for the heating unit can be acquired and installed to replace the non-operative fan. The Topside draft induce fan will allow the service tech to connect to any heating unit regardless of the size of the flue are tight and will seal out all fumes, preventing any carbon monoxide emissions. The new heating units today will not operate without the draft induce fan being operational, this topside draft induce fan will substitute in times when heating operations is really needed and the proper draft induce fan for that unit is not readily available. Being that there are several types, models, sizes and shapes of draft induce fans, this topside draft induce fan is universal. A motorized blower made of heat tempered material comprising, A device or apparatus that will attach to the outlet of heating units' inoperable draft induce fan and the outlet of the device will attach to the flue to disperse the byproducts of combustion into the atmosphere. A device that when in operation will draft through inoperable draft induce fan to relieve Heating unit of fumes and/or gases and expelled said gases out through the flue into the atmosphere. A device operating when connected to inoperable draft induce fan on heating unit will create a vacuum from inoperable draft induce fan to the pressure switch. The draft Created by this device is enough to maintain the safe, controlled and Comfortable operation of heating units.
2 . Device is universal to supplement the draft for all heating units that utilizes a draft induce fan as a safety device and will also attach to any flue to disperse the byproducts of combustion into the atmosphere.
3 . There are two different models of this device that are designed to operate equally as well with a minimal amount of disassembly and reassembling.
4 . This device is for temporary use but can function efficiently as long as needed.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
