GOLD CGs Gas-Fired Water Boiler How it works . . . Control module ① The control module responds to signals from the room thermostat, air pressure switch and boiler limit circuit to operate the boiler circulator, pilot burner, gas valve and inducer. When room thermostat calls for heat, the control module starts the system circulator and inducer. The control module runs the inducer long enough to purge the boiler flue passages, then opens the pilot valve and activates pilot ignition spark. The con

GOLD CGs Gas-Fired Water Boiler 3e Water piping — low temp systems Boiler-bypass piping This piping method is called a boiler-bypass because part of the circulator flow is bypassed around the boiler (through valve 7a). This method reduces the flow rate throughout the method boiler, in order to raise the average water temperature in the boiler enough to prevent flue gas condensation. Boiler-bypass piping is effective for some boilers — including the CGs — provided the flow rates are adjusted acco
