GOLD GV Water boiler — Series 3 Combustion air supply Special note Refer to GV Series 3 Boiler Manual for sizing free area of combustion/ventilation air openings. All boilers experience some condensation in section assembly during start-up. Unlike most conventional boilers, condensation is minimized in the GV Series 3 Boiler by a built-in mixing 0 system, maintaining boiler return water temperature above 130 F, during steady state operation. Flue gas condensate is slightly acidic. In most cases
