This fact should be kept in mind when determining the installation location of heaters and building exhaust systems. The presence of chlorine vapors in the combustion air of heating equipment presents a potential corrosion hazard . Chlorine, found usually in the form of Freon or degreaser vapors, when exposed to flame will precipitate from the compound and form a solution with any condensation present in the heat exchanger or associated parts .
