Bosch Appliances 125HX LP Features, Unpacking the Aquastar Heater, Principle of Operation

Principle of Operation:

When a hot water faucet is opened, the water flow through the heater causes the gas valve to open. At the same time the hydro-generator activates the electronics which sends a spark to the pilot. The flame sensor confirms the pilot has been lighted and allows the first two burners to come on. The flame sensor confirms correct activation and all burners come on. The pilot goes off. The heat exchanger coils absorb the heat generated by the burners and transfer heat to the water. When the hot water faucet is shut off, the gas valve automatically closes and the burners turn off. Your hot water faucet is an ignition key to activate the water heater, giving you control over your hot water energy use. Every time you turn off your hot water faucet, the energy consumption of your hot water returns to zero.
