In gas heating systems, flame rectification is used to:
ADetect the presence of a flame
BIgnite the burner spark
CMeasure room temperature
DRegulate the gas pressure
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Detect the presence of a flame
A flame conducts current unevenly, and sensing this rectified current confirms the flame is lit.
