7. Combustion Air Inducer & Cold End Header Box

All  ML196UHE  units  use  a  combustion  air  inducer  (B6) 

to  move  air  through  the  burners  and  heat  exchanger 

during heating operation. The blower uses a shaded pole 

120VAC motor. The motor operates during all heating op

-

eration and is controlled by integrated control A92. Blower 

operates continuously while there is a call for heat. The 

integrated  control  will  not  proceed  with  the  ignition  se

-

quence until combustion air inducer operation is sensed 

by the proving switches.
The  combustion  air  inducer  is  installed  on  the  cold  end 

header  box. The  cold  end  header  box  is  a  single  piece 

made  of  hard  plastic.  The  box  has  an  internal  channel 

where the combustion air inducer creates negative pres

-

sure at unit start up. The channel contains an orifice used 

to regulate flow created by the combustion air inducer.
The box has pressure taps for the combustion air induc

-

er pressure switch hoses. The pressure switch measures 

the pressure across the combustion air inducer orifice or 

difference  in  the  channel  and  the  box.

 

If replacement 

is necessary the gaskets used to seal the box to the 

vestibule panel and the combustion air inducer to the 

box, must also be replaced.

8. Combustion Air Pressure Switch (FIGURE 11)

ML196UHE  series  units  are  equipped  with  a  differential 

pressure switch located on the cold end header box. The 

switch monitors across the combustion air inducer orifice 

to insure proper flow through the heat exchanger.
The  switch  is  a  SPST  N.O.  pressure  switch  electrically 

connected to the integrated control. The purpose of the 

switch is to prevent burner operation if the combustion air 

inducer is not moving enough air for proper combustion.

On start-up, the switch monitors whether the combustion 

air inducer is operating. It closes a circuit to the integrated 

control when the difference in pressure across the com

bustion air inducer orifice exceeds a non-adjustable facto

ry setting. If the switch does not successfully sense the re

-

quired differential, the switch cannot close and the furnace 

cannot operate. If the flue or air inlet become obstructed 

during operation, the switch senses a loss of pressure dif

-

ferential and opens the circuit to the integrated control. If 

the condensate line is blocked, water will back up into the 

header  box  and  reduce  the  pressure  differential  across 

the  switch. The  pressure  switch  opens  if  the  differential 

drops below the set point. See TABLE 7.
Checks  of  pressure  differential  can  aid  in  troubleshoot

-

ing.  When  measuring  the  pressure  differential,  readings 

should be taken at the pressure switch. See FIGURE 12 

and TABLE 8. Lack of differential usually indicates prob

-

lems  in  the  intake  or  exhaust  piping,  but  may  indicate 

problems in the heat exchanger, condensing coil, header 

boxes, combustion inducer or other components.
