Bradford White EF-100T-399-3X - Manual (Page 3)

The Bradford White eF Series ® Ultra High Efficiency Water Heater uses a low
Nox premix power burner located at the top of the water heater to direct a turbulent
flame down into a submerged combustion chamber. This turbulence causes a
thorough mixing of gas and air for optimum combustion. The combustion gases
then travel through a three pass flue system keeping the gases moving at a high
velocity. The combination of high turbulence and velocity results in an optimum
transfer of heat from the flue gases into the water.
Burner operation is controlled using an electronic ignition module. The module
monitors the status of the electronic thermostat, vent temperature limit switch, vent
system pressure switches and a flame sensor to control output voltage to blower
motor, hot surface igniter/spark rod and gas valve. The module contains
programming which determines the sequence of operation and timings for purge
periods, trial for ignition, flame sensing and lockout. The module will also provide
diagnostic information to help in determining the cause of system lockouts.
The contents in this manual are detailed informational tools to assist in the proper
diagnosis of the eF Series ® Ultra High Efficiency Water Heater operational faults.
