10.6.4
Ignition
Ignition is obtained by means of a standing gas pilot, an intermittent
gas flame which is ignited by an electric spark, or direct electric ig-
nition. The pilot or low fire must be proved by means of a thermocou-
ple or photocell before the main gas or oil valve is allowed to open.
Pilot burners are small, and it is not unusual to have several mani-
folded together. Most power-burner control systems have a purge and
prepurge sequence to make sure there is not a combustible mixture
in the boiler which might cause an explosion during start-up. Propane
may be used to pilot oil burners where natural gas is not available.
