Abstract
A primary gas furnace control including a thermostatically controlled intermittent ignition system, the control being effective to monitor and control main gas valve action through use of flame rectification. The control features a slight delay on main valve dropout with flame failure and an extension of the ignition source into the main burner cycle to prevent nuisance recycling. If desired, the control may also include time pilot valve, thermostat resettable, lockout as well as prepurge capability for use in applications requiring a furnace combustion chamber purge prior to an ignition cycle.
