Description
The Lennox 58C98 is a time delay relay, which is another control element in Lennox HVAC equipment. It works like an automatic timer, coming with a pre-installed break between the stages of operation in the system. This is due to the controlled delays that are accorded the following advantages. For instance, it can avoid high current surge at start-up of the compressor by holding off the fan operation. This relieves the electric circuit and protects part of the load. Also in defrost cycles, a time delay relay can assures that ice has melted before the heating cycle is initiated again to avoid refreezing.
