Ionization Electrode 14 x 125 mm: Flame Control and Safety in Burners
In industrial and commercial burner systems, an ionization electrode is used to verify that the combustion process is proceeding safely. This critical sensor electrically detects the presence of a flame and continuously sends a safety signal to the burner's control system.
What is an Ionization Electrode and What Does It Do?
The ionization electrode serves the purpose of flame control (flame control). A flame is a material that conducts electricity through ionized gas particles formed by combustion. The electrode detects the current (ionization current) created by these ionized gases.
Main Functions of Ionization Electrode:
Flame Detection: Continuously checks the presence of flame and sends a signal to the burner brain.
Safety Shutdown: If the flame goes out (flame failure), the power supply is immediately cut off. This causes the control unit to automatically cut off the fuel supply and lock out the system. This prevents the accumulation of dangerous unburned gases .
Continuous Combustion: Continuously confirms that combustion is ongoing to reduce fuel waste and emissions.
Properties of Ionization Electrode:
Dimensions (14 x 125 mm): This specific measurement is critical for proper electrode positioning within the burner's combustion chamber. 14 mm refers to the outer diameter of the ceramic insulator, and 125 mm refers to the overall length of the electrode.
Material: It consists of a heat-resistant metal rod embedded in a high-temperature and high-voltage resistant ceramic insulator .
Durability: It must be a long-lasting spare part as it is constantly exposed to high temperature and thermal stress.
Ionization Electrode Usage Areas:
Gas Burners: Natural gas, LPG and other gas-fired boilers, furnaces and heat generators.
Combi Boilers and Heating Devices: All combustion systems that control the presence and continuity of the flame.
Industrial Furnaces: Gas-fired industrial processes.
