I picked up this furnace blower for $30, it was a craigslist find. It's very clean and doesn't look very old. The seller is an HVAC installer and pulls these working blowers out of furnaces to sell. He had about 25 of them in his garage. I want to use it in conjunction with a water to air heat exchanger..
The blower has 5 wires as shown in the pics. Would I be safe in assuming the white and black are for 120 volts input? If so, what are the blue, yellow and red for?
Any help is greatly appreciated

The high speed is for AC. For heat you want the low speed, even then it will probably be to much air.
Blowing hot air around to fast is a good way to make luke warm air.
