Reliable flame detection is critical for maintaining efficient boiler combustion and safety, which is why the Lochinvar 100224098 flame rod with AFR (Air Fuel Ratio) function is a standard choice for system maintenance. Designed specifically to integrate with Lochinvar equipment, this component ensures that the control module receives accurate feedback regarding the presence of a burner flame, preventing nuisance lockouts and ensuring optimal operational uptime.
This flame rod operates by utilizing the principle of flame rectification, where the burner flame acts as a diode to convert AC voltage into a DC signal. As the flame contacts the rod, it completes a circuit that communicates flame status to the ignition control, allowing the system to verify combustion within milliseconds of the ignition sequence.
Key System Performance Baselines:
- Signal Sensitivity: Engineered for precise micro-amp detection to ensure rapid flame status validation.
- Thermal Resistance: High-grade materials provide extended service life under continuous exposure to high-temperature combustion environments.
- OEM Integration: Exact factory-specified geometry ensures correct positioning within the burner assembly for consistent sensing.
⚠️ Application Profile: Compatible with specific Lochinvar hydronic boilers requiring AFR-monitored ignition sensors; consult your unit's manual for specific compatibility confirmation before installation.
