BOSCH WR430-3K
Principle of Operation:
When a hot water faucet is opened, the flow of water through
the heater causes the gas valve to open. At the same time
a microswitch is activated which sends a spark to the pilot.
The flame sensor confirms that the pilot has been lighted
and allows burners to ignite. The pilot goes out. The power
exhaust system runs as long as the burners are on. 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, followed immediately by the exhaust
system. Your hot water faucet is an ignition key to turn on
the water heater, giving you control over your hot water energy
use. Every time you turn off your hot water faucet, the energy
consumption for hot water returns to zero.
