Field Controls 46012102 Air Booster
The Field Controls 46012102 Air Booster (Model AB-1) is a heavy-duty, commercial-grade solution for balancing airflow in HVAC ductwork. This 120Vac inline duct fan is engineered to overcome high static pressure in branch runs, delivering up to 305 CFM to resolve temperature imbalances in hard-to-reach zones. Operating at a fixed 1725 RPM, the unit utilizes a high-torque 38-watt motor designed for reliable performance in round or square metal ducts up to 14 inches. For maximum efficiency, this duct booster fan should be wired in parallel with the primary furnace blower or integrated with an ABA-1 pressure switch for automatic activation. The AB-1 air booster features a thermal protection rating for environments up to 180°F, making it suitable for both heating and cooling applications where forced air circulation is insufficient. Its low 0.5 Amp draw ensures it can be integrated into most existing circuits without overloading the system.
Key Benefits- Universal Compatibility: Designed for seamless field installation in round or square ductwork layouts.
- High-Volume Output: Delivers a consistent 305 CFM air flow to increase localized comfort in residential and light commercial branches.
- Maintenance-Friendly Design: Features accessible oil ports for SAE 20 lubrication to ensure long-term motor functionality.
- Robust Construction: Heavy-duty motor and blade assembly rated for continuous operation in environments up to 180°F.
- Low Energy Consumption: Operates efficiently at just 38 watts, providing a cost-effective alternative to ductwork reconfiguration.
Can the AB-1 be installed in flexible ducting?
While optimized for rigid metal ductwork, it can be adapted to flexible ducts if properly supported to prevent vibration and ensure a secure, airtight seal at the mounting point.
Does this unit require a separate thermostat?
No, it is typically wired in parallel with the furnace blower; however, for remote locations, an optional Air Booster Activator (ABA-1) can be used to sense duct pressure and trigger the fan.
Is this booster fan reversible?
The unit is designed for unidirectional airflow. Proper orientation, with the motor shaft positioned horizontally, is critical for operational stability and motor longevity.
