11.1In preparation
Flame supervision: thermoelectric
Thermocouples and magnetic valves, and how to test drop-out.
This topic supports
- M11.1Explain how thermoelectric and flame-rectification flame supervision devices work, and test them.
The lesson text for this topic is being written. The learning outcomes above, and any artefacts below, show what it will cover.
Interactive artefact
Thermocouple flame supervision device
Heat produces millivolts, the magnet holds the valve open; remove the flame and watch it drop out.
Will demonstrate
- Heat producing a voltage at the thermocouple
- The magnet holding the valve open
- The valve dropping out when the flame is lost
Planned. This interactive will appear here when it's built.
