your postings might make more sense with more context. if you are talking
about "waste heat," burning 1.08 gallons of gasoline with a fuel value of
135k btu in 4 hours at the 1600 w rated load makes 6.4 kwh (21.8k btu) of
electricity and 113.2k btu of heat, 100(113.2k/135k) = 84% of the total.
we can safely recover almost all of that with an eu2000 in the basement.

i already answered that concern from you. the top is better: warm gases
rise and counterflow heat exchangers are more efficient and condensation
will not occur until the pipe enters the water heater.
it may be time to ignore you now.
