Rheem-Ruud AS-61164-83 Heat Cells Aluminized Heat Exchanger

The Rheem-Ruud AS-61164-83 Heat Cells Aluminum Heat Exchanger is an integral section of your gas furnace’s HVAC system. Its main function is to effectively transfer heat generated by the burner to air circulating through your house. Consider a network of channels in the furnace where hot combustion gases move through, thereby heating up the metal walls of heat exchangers. The furnace tank has water that surrounds the heat exchanger, as such, hot gases go toward its metal walls, increasing the environmental temperature gradually. This acquired hot water is then distributed around your home to provide warmth during the winter months. Also, the Rheem-Ruud AS-61164-83 is constructed using aluminized steel, which makes it both light and strong. Compared with common materials like aluminum, steel has a better resistance against corrosion and enables a higher rate of heat transfer.
