| The
SHUR-FLO
DRAUGHT INDUCER is an electrically-powered device that helps maintain
correct flue conditions by providing additional draught when natural draught is not sufficient for satisfactory operation. The Shur-Flo draught inducer will add to the natural draught as much as 0.05 in water gauge. This is usually more than enough to overcome internal venting problems caused by short chimneys, long or crooked pipes, undersized flues, low temperature flue gases and the opposing air demands of such appliances as exhaust fans, etc. It is flue pipe mounted and fully self-contained except for electrical connection. A fibre seating mat is provided which sits between the flue casing and inducer saddle. When used in conjunction with a draught regulator, the two appliances will ensure that complete stability is always present. The inducers are sturdily built of heavy gauge corrosion resistant materials and designed for years of trouble-free service, needing no maintenance. The impeller blades and the fan shaft are of special metals which will not rust or deteriorate in contact with flue gases. The shaft extends through both front and rear motor bearings and is in one piece, and oversized for greater rigidity. Scientific impeller design provides smooth air flow, greater volume and firm gently aspiration that will not snuff out pilot light or cause flame to float or undulate. The burn-out proof motor has been especially designed for draught inducer service, the bearings are pre-oiled with long life silicone lubricant. m The motor, mounted outside the flue, is air cooled and can be removed in seconds for inspection of both motor and impeller assembly. This saddle mounted draught inducer is not intended to overcome excessive down draughts caused by external influences such as hills, tall trees and buildings. In these cases we recommend chimney caps or some form of cowl be employed in conjunction with the Shur-Flo. |
