SEALED BURNER
When a main burner control knob
q
is turned to the “lite” position, the gas valve
r
opens, and
gas flows through the pressure regulator
s
into the manifold
t
through the open valve. As gas
passes through the valve and its orifice, it is directed into the venturi
u
, where it mixes with
primary air to create the proper mixture necessary for combustion.
At the same time, line voltage is applied through the ignitor switch
v
, to the spark module
w
,
which produces high-voltage, low amperage pulses to all of the spark ignitors
x
. The pulses
cause a spark
y
to occur between the spark ignitor electrode, and the grounded burner cap
z
.
The gas and air mixture at the burner is ignited by the spark, and a flame is produced at each
of the top burner ports.
Refer to Figure 3-1 for the following sequence.
