Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100167886 Drive
The Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100167886 Drive is a precision-engineered Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) designed for high-efficiency commercial boiler and water heater systems. This critical component provides modulating pump control, allowing the system to adjust motor speed based on real-time demand rather than running at constant velocity. By integrating this OEM replacement VFD, technicians can ensure optimal hydronic system pressure and significantly reduce electrical consumption. The 100167886 is specifically calibrated for compatibility with advanced Lochinvar Crest and A.O. Smith Cyclone series units. It features a rugged internal heat sink and specialized circuitry to handle the high-start torque requirements of commercial circulator pumps. Proper VFD programming for this unit ensures seamless communication with the integrated boiler control board, preventing nuisance faults and thermal shock. Using this genuine Lochinvar part maintains the factory-specified performance curves and BMS integration capabilities essential for modern mechanical rooms.
Key Benefits for Contractors
- Precise Flow Control: Achieves exact variable speed motor control to match system delta-T requirements.
- Energy Efficiency: Reduces operational costs by eliminating across-the-line starting and optimizing power factor.
- Direct OEM Fit: Drop-in compatibility for 100167886 and legacy A.O. Smith drive part numbers ensures fast commissioning.
- System Protection: Includes built-in diagnostics for over-voltage, under-voltage, and short-circuit protection to safeguard the pump motor.
Common Technical Questions
What are the symptoms of a failing boiler VFD? Failure often manifests as "Communication Lost" errors on the main control board, excessive motor noise, or the pump failing to ramp up during high-demand cycles.
Does this drive require field programming? While pre-configured for standard applications, HVAC technicians should verify parameter settings against the specific boiler model number and pump horsepower during installation.
Can I use this VFD for third-party pumps? This unit is engineered for commercial hydronic pumps specified in the Lochinvar and A.O. Smith technical manuals; consult the wiring schematic for amperage and voltage compatibility.
