*Note: A “click” sound should be heard from the valve as the main gas interrupter snaps up to the “closed” position.

Condensation

Flue gas products contain moisture. If these flue gas products are cooled to their “dew point”, they become visible moisture – condensation.

Flue gas may become cooled by:

•Cold supply air temperatures

•Cool surfaces – generally, if tank water temperatures drop below 110°F, the flue pipe surface and/or bottom tank head will be cool enough to cause condensation.

•Increased combustion efficiency – higher thermal efficiency means that an increased amount of heat is transferring from the flue gas into the water. If you transfer (approximately) 87.5%, or more, the moisture in the flue gas will condense.
