Heil Quaker ICP 1172642 Heat Exchanger

The Heil Quaker ICP 1172642 Heat Exchanger Assembly is a critical replacement component engineered for high-efficiency gas furnaces within the International Comfort Products (ICP) family, including Heil, Tempstar, and Comfortmaker units. This stainless steel heat exchanger is designed to withstand the corrosive effects of condensation and high-temperature thermal cycling, preventing combustion bypass and ensuring reliable heat transfer. As an OEM ICP furnace replacement part, it maintains the precise static pressure requirements and airflow velocity necessary for optimal system performance. When diagnosing a cracked heat exchanger or secondary failure, this assembly provides a direct-fit solution that restores AFUE ratings and prevents hazardous flue gas leakage into the supply air stream. Installation requires professional calibration of gas pressure and manifold settings to match the original factory specifications for 1172642 HVAC components.

• Corrosion Resistance: High-grade stainless steel construction prevents premature failure caused by acidic condensate in high-efficiency systems.
• OEM Compatibility: Precision-engineered for a seamless fit in Heil and Quaker units, reducing labor time during heat exchanger installation.
• Thermal Efficiency: Optimized internal geometry maximizes heat transfer surface area, maintaining consistent discharge air temperatures.
• Structural Integrity: Built to endure rigorous expansion and contraction cycles without fatigue or stress fracturing.

What are the symptoms of a failing ICP heat exchanger?
Common indicators include soot buildup, a chemical odor during the start-up cycle, visible cracks in the primary or secondary cells, and irregular flame patterns when the blower motor engages.

Is this heat exchanger compatible with all Heil furnaces?
No, this specific part number is designed for mid-to-high efficiency models. Always verify your specific model and serial number against the Heil product specifications to ensure the internal dimensions and porting match.

Does this assembly include gaskets and seals?
Typically, this is the main cell assembly. Technicians should verify if additional combustion blower gaskets or collector box seals are required to complete the pressurized seal during the HVAC repair.
