General Operation

How the water heater operates

The Armor water heater uses an advanced stainless steel heat exchanger and an electronic control module that allows fully condensing operation. The blower pulls in gas and air and pushes flue products out of the water heater through the heat exchanger and flue piping. The control module regulates blower speed to control water heater firing rate. The gas valve senses the amount of air flowing into the water heater and allows only the right amount of gas to flow.

Sequence of operation

Table 1A shows control module normal sequences of operation for water heating operation.
