Abstract
A method for flame sensing in a solid, liquid or gaseous fuel burner, the flame generated at an ionization electrode, the flame presence resulting in an ionizing effect on the electrode. The electrode is powered by an alternating voltage signal. The ionization phenomenon generates in the electrode a direct current. The current being sensed by a suitable sensing circuit including a control unit. This signal generator being of relatively low internal impedance to enable the measured generated current to have a high value compared with that normally used and of waveform to tend to limit the value of the direct current flowing through the electrode. The sensing and control circuit being such as to enable the presence of a parasitic current on the flame sensing electrode to be measured. A device for implementing the method is also disclosed.
