exchangers are mounted downstream of the
cooling coils. During the cooling season the
ambient air inside the heat exchanger tubes
can condense due to cold air being blown
over the outside of the tubes. The amount of
condensation will vary depending on the
ambient air temperature and humidity as well
as air temperature over the tubes. This
condensation can be drained onto the roof or
into any waste drain.
Typically during the heating season the heat
exchanger will not make any condensation.
However, short-cycling of the heater can
prevent the flue gases from reaching
temperatures above dew point (about 130
⁰
F)
which can cause condensation in the heat
exchanger.
Staged or modulated heat exchangers may
produce condensate depending on the firing
rate, ambient air temperature and humidity as
well as the percentage and temperature of
outside air being introduced to the unit. This
condensate is generally between a 2.9 and 4
pH level.
Condensation made in the heat exchanger
during the heating mode may need to be
managed and not just drained onto the roof
depending on national and local code
requirements and the application of the final
user. This condensate can stain the roof and
it can cause rust in some cases on metal roofs.
It is the responsibility of the end user or
contractor to determine if the condensate will
damage the roofing material.
Below freezing ambient air temperatures
during the heating mode can freeze any
condensation made in the drain lines. Smaller
amounts of condensation may not cause any
issues but for larger amounts of condensate
and low ambient air temperatures (below
freezing for multiple consecutive days) the
internal and external drain lines for the unit
will need to be heat traced to prevent
freezing. Heat traced internal drain lines are
required and a factory provided standard
feature on the condensate drain with the high
turndown modulating gas option.
A condensate
neutralizer
vessel
and
connecting tubing can be added to the
equipment if required. For below freezing
ambient
temperature
applications
the
neutralizer, connecting tubing and drain lines
will
require heat tracing
to prevent
condensate freezing. These components are
the responsibility of the installer.
