Abstract
A flame rod inserted in a flame created by the secondary air supplied to a burner is used to generate a flame signal voltage. This flame signal voltage fluctuates with the amount of secondary air available and with the fuel supplied. These fluctuations are relied upon by an integrated control system that utilizes a microprocessor or microcomputer to safely control an induced draft-type of furnace.
