Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100111830 Flame Rod Sensor

The Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100111830 Flame Rod Sensor is a safety device that is applied to the gas-fired water heaters and boilers. High voltage is not applied to the burner until a flame is sensed, this makes the burner to operate efficiently and safely. The sensor operates by producing a small voltage upon exposure to the flame to indicate to the control system to sustain combustion. In case of lac of flame, the sensor leads to shutting down the system in order to prevent gas leakage and other dangers. This increases safety and reliability of HVAC systems, and increases energy efficiency by ensuring proper combustion.
