5. Funcionament

The furnace control board manages the sequence of operations for your heating system. A typical heating cycle involves:

• Sol·licitud de calefacció del termòstat: When the thermostat calls for heat, the control board initiates the heating sequence.
• Activació del motor inductor: The inducer motor starts to vent combustion gases.
• Tancament del commutador de pressió: Un cop s'estableix un tiratge suficient, el pressostat es tanca, indicant a la placa de control que continuï.
• Seqüència d'encesa: The igniter is energized, followed by the opening of the gas valve.
• Detecció de flama: The control board verifies the presence of a flame.
• Blower Motor Activation: After a short delay, the main blower motor starts to distribute heated air.
• Heating Cycle Completion: When the thermostat's set temperature is reached, the gas valve closes, the igniter de-energizes, and after a cool-down period, the blower motor shuts off.

6. Manteniment

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and efficient operation of your furnace and its control board.

• Inspecció anual: Have a qualified HVAC technician inspect your furnace annually.
• Neteja: Keep the area around the furnace clean and free of dust and debris. Dust accumulation on the control board can lead to overheating or malfunctions.
• Integritat del cablejat: Periodically check for any loose or corroded wiring connections.
• Substitució del filtre d'aire: Regularly replace or clean your furnace's air filter to ensure proper airflow and prevent strain on the system.

7. Solució De Problemes
