It is commonly known that prolonged internal condensation will dramatically shorten the life of standard boilers and water heaters. While Raypak boilers and water heaters can operate without harmful condensation at lower inlet water temperatures than the competition, there are still applications that require reliable protection against harmful conden- sation caused by frequent, extended, cold water start-ups.

Raypak’s Cold Water Run system utilizes a variable-speed pump to inject just the right amount of water from the main system loop into the boiler to maintain the optimum inlet temperature. This approach allows the full capacity of the boiler to be utilized to meet the system load, while at the same time continuously maintaining the opti- mum inlet water temperature to prevent condensation.
