Jan. 26, 2005: ICP Receives Patent For Furnace Sound Shield
LEWISBURG, Tenn. - The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has issued a patent for the furnace sound shield used in the International Comfort Products (ICP) line of multipoise 80 percent AFUE gas furnaces.
Mike Eberlein, ICP product manager, said the patented furnace sound shield is the key to the quiet operation of the company's 80 percent gas furnaces introduced for last year's heating season. He noted that the double-wall door is designed to reduce operating noise and provide extra strength and durability to the furnace.
