Nate Gas Heat Flashcards
Voltage to create spark ignition
15000
Furnaces are placed into categories based on :
venting characteristics
3 basic types of ignition
standing, direct and intermittent
on call for heat, 24 volt is applied to:
the gas valve in standing pilot the ignition module in intermittent the ignition module or Integrated Control Module in direct
the intermittent ignition ignites
lights the pilot through spark igniters only on heat call and flame rectification. Applied AC voltage passes through flame in one direction thus providing DC voltage back to module via rectfication sensor.
24 volts powers ignition module
direct ingnition systems
ingnite directly by hot surface igniter or spark and does not involve pilot.
