FLAME APPEARANCE

FLAME APPEARANCE

Flames from the pilot and burner should be visually checked as soon as the heater is installed. In addition, periodically check the flames visually during operation.

CHECKING THE PILOT FLAME

The pilot flame must always be present when the heater is in operation. It should just touch the top of the ther- mocouple tip for natural. See Figure 30 for correct pilot flame.

If the pilot flame does not touch the thermocouple, then the main burner cannot function reliably. See Figure 31 for incor- rect shape of pilot flame.
