Heil Quaker ICP 1175200 Heat Exchanger
The Heil Quaker ICP 1175200 Heat Exchanger is an essential OEM replacement component designed for high-efficiency gas furnaces within the International Comfort Products family. Engineered for durability and thermal efficiency, this primary heat exchanger facilitates the critical heat transfer process from combustion gases to the circulating air stream while maintaining strict structural integrity. Fabricated from corrosion-resistant aluminized steel, the 1175200 is built to withstand the rigors of thermal expansion and contraction cycles common in residential heating applications. Identifying a failed heat exchanger often involves observing cracked cells or excessive scale buildup, which compromises safety and AFUE ratings. This specific ICP furnace part is utilized across several brands, including Heil, Comfortmaker, and Tempstar, ensuring a precise mechanical fit for direct-to-manifold installations. As a critical safety component, ensuring a gas-tight seal during the swap is paramount for preventing carbon monoxide infiltration into the occupied space.
Key Benefits for HVAC Technicians- Direct OEM Compatibility: Ensures exact alignment with existing burners and induces draft assemblies, reducing labor time during furnace heat exchanger replacement.
- Aluminized Steel Construction: Provides superior resistance to oxidation and thermal stress, preventing premature stress fractures.
- Optimized Heat Transfer: Restores the unit to its original factory performance levels and maintains system efficiency.
- Verified Safety: Direct replacement for the 1175200 ensures the combustion chamber meets original design specifications.
What are the signs of a cracked heat exchanger in this model?
Technicians should look for soot buildup, irregular flame patterns when the blower kicks on, or the presence of carbon monoxide during a combustion analysis.
Can this heat exchanger be used for propane (LP) conversions?
Yes, provided the furnace has the correct orifice and gas valve adjustments; however, the heat exchanger itself is compatible with both natural gas and liquid propane combustion.
Is the 1175200 compatible with older Quaker units?
This part is specific to select ICP platforms. Always cross-reference the model and serial number of the furnace to ensure current manifold configurations match the 1175200 specifications.
