Temperature rise declines as the outdoor temperature drops.
Variable speed furnace fan retrofit.
In addition to better energy efficiency and temperature control variable speed furnaces deliver better indoor air quality as a result of varying blower motor speed.
Better airflow control means a better balance of temperature and humidity.
When the r g circuit is made the blower motor operates on heating speed.
While not all contractors consistently offer ecms those who do often report increased profits as well as improved customer comfort and satisfaction.
The term variable speed refers to the furnace s fan motor which moves at different speeds to precisely control the flow of heated and cooled air throughout your home.
There are many reasons for choosing a variable speed furnace but the main reason is comfort.
For refrigeration evaporator fan motors.
During the cooling mode variable speed systems typically result in an efficiency gain of about 1 seer seasonal energy efficiency ratio.
But over the years several manufacturers have developed variable speed electronically commutated motors ecms specifically designed as retrofit replacements for faulty psc motors.
The higher the seer the lower your utility bills.
The control module only uses two speeds one for cool and one for heat fan.
Furnaces without variable speed technology use a simple motor with multiple speed settings.
Compared to a conventional single speed furnace a variable speed furnace performs better and uses about two thirds less electricity.
Either replace the furnace with one equipped with a variable speed blower or stick with single stage equipment.
Carrier gas furnaces with greenspeed intelligence monitor temperature and humidity inside and out then automatically vary furnace operation as needed to provide an ideal combination of comfort and energy efficiency.
In recent years new furnaces with bpm motors have gained market share.
The evergreen im is a variable speed permanent magnet brushless dc motor the same type of motor used in furnaces equipped with an ecm.
With greenspeed intelligence and variable speed components you can avoid wasting money for heating capacity you don t need.
This is not new technology said christopher mohalley master ecm trainer at regal beloit.
The term variable speed furnace is used to describe furnaces that have a variable speed blower motor.
A temperature based variable speed fan control may cause problems especially during defrost cycles.
The problem is the furnace control module doesn t use a separate speed when the unit is running in continuous fan mode.
Since 1985 furnace manufacturers have used higher efficiency variable speed bpm fan motors also known as electronically commutated motors or ecms in some high end residential furnaces.
These blower motors are the motors that move air through the ductwork in your home.
