How does the Bradford White Defender Safety System® work?

1. During operation, air is drawn into the water heater though the jacket opening.
2. This air travels down, around, and eventually through the combustion chamber.
3. The air then travels through the geometrically oriented louvers.
4. When the air reaches these flame arrestor louvers, the air velocity increases and alters the direction of the air.
5. This causes the air to mix in a proper manner, creating a vector effect, efficiently combusting any flammable vapors inside the chamber.
