Carrier HC21ZS122 Inducer Motor
The Carrier HC21ZS122 is an inducer draft motor designed for gas furnaces. It's a critical component that ensures the safe and efficient operation of your furnace. Here's how it works:
Safe Ventilation: The inducer draft motor creates a negative pressure zone in the flue pipe of your furnace. This negative pressure acts like a vacuum, safely drawing exhaust gases produced by combustion out of the furnace and venting them outside. This prevents harmful carbon monoxide from leaking back into your home.
Air Intake: Along with removing exhaust, the inducer draft motor also helps draw in fresh air for the burner. This ensures proper combustion by providing the necessary oxygen for burning the fuel efficiently.
Compact Design: The Carrier HC21ZS122 is a lightweight and compact motor, typically weighing around 3.00 lbs. This makes it easy to integrate into various furnace models.
Electrical Specifications: This inducer draft motor operates on a standard 115V electrical circuit with a frequency of 60 Hz. It spins at a high speed of 3000 RPM (revolutions per minute) to effectively remove combustion gases and maintain proper airflow. By safely venting exhaust and ensuring proper air intake, the Carrier HC21ZS122 inducer draft motor plays a vital role in the safe and efficient operation of your gas furnace. It contributes to a healthy indoor environment and efficient furnace performance.
