* This diagram illustrates tankless water heater design
concepts only and does not accurately represent the
water heater’s physical description .
1 . A hot water tap is turned on .
2 . Water enters the heater .
3 . The water flow sensor detects the water flow .
4 . The computer initiates the fan motor and sends a signal
to the igniter to create an ignition spark .
5 . The igniter starts and the gas valve opens and flames
appear within the burner chamber .
6 . Water circulates through the heat exchanger and then
gets hot .
7 . Using thermistors to measure temperatures throughout
the water heater, the computer modulates the gas and
water valves to ensure proper output water temperature .
8 . When the tap is turned off, the unit shuts down .
