The thermocouple has to be maintained hot enough by the pilot flame or it will cause the gas valve to shut down all of the flow of gas. The pilot flame is probably set too low (easily adjusted with a screw driver) to satisfy the thermocouple. If not the thermocouple or the gas valve may be bad. I like to keep the flame just high enough and aimed to satisfy the thermocouple and not make it red hot

How To Make A Gas Wall Heater More Efficient?
1) The first and the most important step is to shut off the gas that is running to the heater. Most heaters have a valve between the gas line and the heater that shuts off the gas. Allow the heater to completely cool before attempting any of the following steps. 2) Remove the front of the heater, which is usually a grid made of either metal or glass. The grid is held to the heater by a pair of screws that are either along the bottom edge or the sides of the heater. As with all the parts of the heater, clean the grid before reattaching it later. 3) The main burner for the heater should be immediately behind the grid. The burner is usually a stainless steel round or oval bar that runs side-to-side inside the heater. The bar has holes in the top where the gas flames appear when the heater is turned on. Using a six-inch adjustable wrench and a pair of channel lock pliers, remove the burner from its mount inside the heater. There should be some brass grips or fittings on one side of the burner mount. After loosening them with the wrench and pliers, slide the burner out of the mount. 4) Do not slide the burner completely out of the heater, as the pipes connecting it to the gas line will break. The pilot light should not have to be removed as long as the burner is slid too far out. Take a bristled brass brush, and buff the edges of the holes and inside the holes along the burner. Next, take a vacuum cleaner and vacuum the holes as far as the hose can reach. Go over the burner very thoroughly when vacuuming, as any leftover dirt will lead to problems when reactivating the furnace. 5) Finally, place the burner back in the heater and re-slide it into the mount. Take care that the brass fittings are all fitted tightly to the burner. Take a wet cloth and wipe down the burner, the ignition assembly and the pilot light. Re-fit the grid on the front of the heater and screw it back into place.
How does the heat move to the other end of the metal rod when placed over a Bunsen burner?
When the metal rod is placed over a Bunsen burner, heat is transferred through conduction. The molecules at the end of the rod in contact with the flame gain kinetic energy, causing them to vibrate and collide with neighboring molecules, transferring heat energy along the rod. This process continues through the rod until the opposite end reaches a higher temperature.
Why will the ice on a windscreen disappear as you drive along even without the heater on?
It would greatly depend on the ambient temperature and the humidity of the atmosphere you are driving though.
Can storage heater trigger a cold?
No. Colds are caused by a virus. The traditional belief of temperature changes and cold air or water causing sickness was dispelled in 1956 with the discovery of the rhinovirus that was behind the "cold" all along. But perhaps a moldy or dusty one could trigger an allergy attack or sinus infection.
What is the temperature of the Moho discontinuity?
The temperature of the Moho discontinuity is estimated to be around 500 to 900 degrees Celsius. This high temperature is due to the increased heat coming from the Earth's interior, causing the rocks to be partially melted along this boundary.
Which lab setup would be appropriate to use in heating 200 mL of water to the boiling point?
A Bunsen burner setup with a heatproof mat and tripod, along with a beaker containing the 200 mL of water would be suitable. Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature and adjust the Bunsen burner flame as needed to heat the water to its boiling point. Remember to use appropriate safety equipment like goggles and gloves.
How do you Change a 96 grand am heater core?
Disconnect the heater hose off the heater core on the firewall and remove the inside middle side panels along with the lower heater core panel and pull the core straight out.........
What is the major issue in global warming?
The temperature extremities, both hot and cold, will extend, causing non-adapted creatures to die. Also, the polar ice cap is melting, causing an increase in sea level, possibly flooding some cities along the coast.
Where are heater hoses on a 1989 Chevy Celebrity?
On a 1989 Chevy Celebrity the heater hose leaves the water pump via a hose barb then runs along the top of the passenger side frame rail and then into the heater core. The heater core is in the firewall below the blower fan on the passenger side of the car. The return hose leaves the heater core and runs along the firewall then to the water outlet below the thermostat.
How do thermometers work generally?
Thermometers work by measuring temperature through the expansion or contraction of a material, like mercury or alcohol, in response to heat. As the temperature changes, the material in the thermometer expands or contracts, causing the level to rise or fall along a scale, which indicates the temperature.
Where is the drain hose heater jeep?
The heater uses the engine coolant to heat the vehicle. The radiator has a drain petcock along the bottom edge to drain the coolant system.
What happens to the gas in a rising balloon?
As a balloon rises, the air pressure decreases, causing the gas inside the balloon to expand. This expansion of gas makes the balloon's volume increase, causing it to rise further. Additionally, the decrease in temperature also affects the density of the gas inside the balloon, contributing to its ascent.
