1.PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
A.Combustion System
(1)The combustion system is based on a fully modulating forced draft combustion air blower, a negative pressure regulated gas valve, and a 100% premix burner. On a call for humidity, the combustion air blower starts and creates a negative pressure across an orifice located at the air inlet.
(2)The blower is energized to purge the system, then the hot surface igniter is activated. During this time the electronic ignition module does a diagnostic check of safety systems including the
(3)If a flame is sensed by the flame sensor, the gas valve remains open and combustion continues. If a flame is not sensed, the above sequence is repeated to a maximum of three times after which the ignition module will lock out. The gas valve maintains a constant ratio air to gas independent of blower speed or external conditions. This air and fuel is thoroughly mixed in the blower and then forced through the burner ports where ignition occurs.
(4)Hot products of combustion are forced through a baffle inside the heat exchanger and then vented outside. The heat exchanger has a large flat surface to minimize scale
(5)The GS 100 has a single removable combustion chamber/heat exchanger. The combustion system is duplicated on larger units with multiple chambers inside a common tank.
