  2. Pilot light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_light

    A pilot light is a small gas flame, usually natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas, which serves as an ignition source for a more powerful gas burner. Originally a pilot light was kept permanently alight, but this wastes gas. Now it is more common to light a burner electrically, but gas pilot lights are still used when a high energy ignition ...

  3. Forced-air gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced-air_gas

    Forced-air gas. A forced-air gas furnace, of the older, non-condensing type. Forced-air gas heating systems are used in central air heating/cooling systems for houses. Sometimes the system is referred to as "forced hot air".

  4. Industrial furnace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_furnace

    An industrial chamber furnace, used to heat steel billets for open-die forging. An industrial furnace, also known as a direct heater or a direct fired heater, is a device used to provide heat for an industrial process, typically higher than 400 degrees Celsius. [1] They are used to provide heat for a process or can serve as reactor which ...

  5. Thermocouple - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermocouple

    Thermocouple. A thermocouple, also known as a "thermoelectrical thermometer", is an electrical device consisting of two dissimilar electrical conductors forming an electrical junction. A thermocouple produces a temperature-dependent voltage as a result of the Seebeck effect, and this voltage can be interpreted to measure temperature.

  6. Thermostat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermostat

    As illustrated in the use of the thermostat above, all of the power for the control system is provided by a thermopile which is a combination of many stacked thermocouples, heated by the pilot light. The thermopile produces sufficient electrical power to drive a low-power gas valve, which under control of one or more thermostat switches, in ...

  7. Flame detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flame_detector

    Flame detector. A flame detector is a sensor designed to detect and respond to the presence of a flame or fire, allowing flame detection. Responses to a detected flame depend on the installation, but can include sounding an alarm, deactivating a fuel line (such as a propane or a natural gas line), and activating a fire suppression system.
