The Bell & Gossett 169228 is a single-phase, half-horsepower motor specifically designed for centrifugal pumps in HVAC systems. These pumps circulate water or coolant throughout the system, playing a critical role in hydronic heating and chilled water cooling applications. The motor directly drives the pump impeller, which spins to create a pressure differential, forcing the liquid through pipes. This circulation allows heat transfer between the source (boiler or chiller) and terminal units (radiators, fan coils) in your building, providing either heating or cooling comfort. The Bell & Gossett 169228 is built to meet the demands of HVAC pumps, offering several benefits: Voltage/Electrical: 208-230 volts (single-phase) makes it compatible with most residential and light commercial electrical systems. Horsepower (HP): Half-horsepower provides sufficient power for efficient circulation in many HVAC applications. RPM (Revolutions Per Minute): 1725 RPM delivers the necessary impeller speed for effective fluid movement. Frequency: 60 Hz matches the standard electrical grid frequency in North America. Weight: 24.97 pounds makes it a manageable size for installation and maintenance within HVAC systems. By efficiently powering the pump, the Bell & Gossett 169228 motor ensures smooth operation of your hydronic HVAC system. This translates to reliable comfort heating or cooling, efficient heat transfer, and potentially lower energy consumption due to optimal system performance.

Signs of Faulty 169228 Xylem-Bell & Gossett 115/208-230V1Ph 1/2Hp 1725Rpm:
Unusual noises: The motor is making grinding, squealing, or humming sounds that it didn't make before. These noises may be caused by worn bearings, misalignment, or a damaged rotor or stator.
Excessive vibration: The motor is vibrating more than usual. This can be caused by a number of issues, including an imbalanced rotor, loose mounting bolts, or worn bearings.
Slow or not starting: The motor is not starting at all, or it is starting but running slowly. This could be due to a power supply problem, a problem with the starting components, or a problem within the motor itself.
Overheating: The motor is hot to touch. This can be caused by overcrowding, insufficient ventilation, or internal friction.
Smoke or burning smells: The motor is emitting smoke or burning smells. This is a serious sign and indicates that the motor is overheating and could be about to fail.
