What else can I help you with?
Would a pilot light on a gas furnace still work with a defective thermocouple?
Pilot light would work but the main burner would not as the thermocouple proves that there is a pilot light to fire. The main gas valve would not open
How do you detect a crack heat exchanger in a furnace?
The most comon way to detect a crack in a heat exchanger is with a visual inspection, removal of the burner assembly and the use of a mirror and flash light. Or a smoke bomb test. A special little smoke bomb is placed in the burner area with the burners OFF. The blower is runnig and you light the smoke bomb, the smoke will draft up the flue vent or if a crack or rust hole is present then the smoke will get sucked into the air stream and come out of the duct work. Other than that using a carbon monoxide detector to see what the CO levels of the furnace are and comparing them to the supply air of the furnace to verify that there is no CO present in the air stream. The best and most accurate way is to contact a local Heating and Air Conditioning specialist or your local gas company should come out and perform a CO test on the furnace. Good Luck and God BLess
What are the differences between boilers and burners?
A burner is the part of the boiler that creates and controls the flame that heats the water. If you meant difference between a boiler and a furnace, a boiler makes hot water and a furnace makes hot air.
What is air blast burner?
An air blast burner is a burner where a controlled blast of air is supplied the gas. The burner has an air blast type fuel injector.
How does an oil burner work?
Oil burner magic!!
Where is the location of the furnace high limit switch?
The furnace high limit switch is typically located near the heat exchanger or burner chamber of the furnace.
Where is the limit switch located on a furnace?
The limit switch on a furnace is typically located near the heat exchanger or burner chamber. It is a safety device that monitors the temperature inside the furnace and shuts off the burner if it gets too hot.
Why is my furnace making a loud rumbling noise?
A loud rumbling noise from your furnace could be caused by a buildup of dirt or debris in the burner or heat exchanger, a problem with the blower motor, or a malfunctioning gas valve. It is important to have a professional HVAC technician inspect and repair the furnace to prevent further damage and ensure safe operation.
Why does a high efficiency furnace main burner shut off?
A high efficiency furnace main burner shuts off to prevent overheating and ensure safe operation.
Can the fan timer control board on a York furnace cause the furnace to continue running with the burner in operation?
yes it can fan
Why does the furnace main burner shut off after ignition?
The furnace main burner shuts off after ignition to maintain a safe and consistent temperature within the heating system. This helps prevent overheating and ensures efficient operation of the furnace.
Would a pilot light on a gas furnace still work with a defective thermocouple?
Pilot light would work but the main burner would not as the thermocouple proves that there is a pilot light to fire. The main gas valve would not open
How big is a flame on a natural gas furnace?
The pilot flame is/should be about 1.5" long, the diameter of a pencil. When the burners are going, the gas is shot into the burner manifold, and the gas sent to the burner is designed to go to the back of the heat exchanger. So, in a typical 80,000 input heater, about 14"-18" long.
Can an oil furnace be converted to propane?
I have never heard of a way to do this without changing the whole furnace. Propane furnaces are usually thin steal walled heat exchangers with many burners. Oil Furnaces have a large burner chamber and then a small heat exchanger above it. If there is a way, you will need to change the heat exchanger and all electrical components. It may be cheaper in the end to just change the whole furnace.
Why does the furnace main burner shut off intermittently?
The furnace main burner may shut off intermittently due to issues with the thermostat, a dirty air filter, a malfunctioning flame sensor, or a problem with the gas supply. It is important to have a professional technician inspect and diagnose the issue to ensure safe and efficient operation of the furnace.
What is the function of the flame sensor on a furnace and how does it contribute to the safe and efficient operation of the heating system?
The flame sensor on a furnace detects the presence of a flame when the burner is ignited. It ensures that the burner stays lit and shuts off the gas supply if no flame is detected, preventing gas leaks and potential hazards. This contributes to the safe and efficient operation of the heating system by ensuring that the furnace operates properly and does not pose a risk of fire or gas leaks.
How does a cooker flame safety device work?
It stops the gas supply to the burner when there is no flame sensed by the thermocouple inside the burner.
