CONDENSATE MANAGEMENT

SYSTEM (Optional)

This high efficiency appliance may operate as a condensing appliance for extended periods of time based on return water temperatures. Condensate occurs when the products of combustion are cooled below their dew point in the heat transfer process. The liquid condensate formed from this high efficiency heat transfer process is mildly acidic. The condensate will typically have a pH ranging from 4.0 to 5.0 as it is discharged from the condensate drain on the rear of the appliance. The internal jacket area where the condensate is collected (secondary heat exchanger) is constructed from a special corrosion resistant stainless steel. All materials external to the appliance in contact with the condensate must be corrosion resistant. This is typically accomplished by gravity requiring a minimum downward slope of 1/4" per foot to ensure proper flow to the condensate management system and /or a suitable drain. The neutralizer reservoir MUST always be mounted on the same level or lower than the bottom of the appliance cabinet. All condensate piping and connections must be easily accessible for routine maintenance and inspection. Sufficient lengths of tubing and barbed connectors are supplied in the kit to allow the neutralizer reservoir to be positioned to the right, left or rear of the appliance.
