Gas Furnace Sequence of Operation with Hot Surface Ignition

This is a link to the video we posted and explains the operation of the gas stove using high temperature surface ignition.

Hot Surface Ignition is also called gas ignition and electronic ignition because it uses gas and electric parts to generate flames. The thermal ignition device uses a heating rod or coil as the ignition device. The hot surface or heating rod is a part that heats up to gas ignition temperature (using electricity). When the glover reaches the correct temperature, the sensor opens the gas valve. Ignition of these commercial ranges is not very common today, but it is still under production. The wolf ranges such as Heavy Duty Series, Heavy Commander Segment Range Line, Snorkel Convection Oven, Heavy Commander Segment Range Line, Standard Oven etc. are examples of commercial range using thermal surface ignition.

Among the different types of electronic ignition gas furnaces are direct combustion gas furnaces and indirect gas combustion gas furnaces. Indirect gas stoves use indicator lights. Direct fire type gas stove will start ignition of main burner without indication light. The key to both systems is that each electronic ignition system has its own way to prove fire or prove there is fire. In the absence of a fire, the system is shut down so that no gas is injected into the space, which may be very dangerous.

Therefore, when troubleshooting an electronic ignition gas stove, it is necessary to understand a series of operations. It is particularly suitable for all kinds of electronic ignition system. You also need to understand how the controls work. A good engineer can find basic problems in a matter of minutes by walking to the electronic ignition gas stove. For a series of operations related to electronic ignition gas stove, see this article.
