What does an aquastat do?

Aquastats are thermostats sensing the temperature of the water itself, and are used basically to stop and start the burner by controlling the electrical circuit. The temperature of the water is held within preset limits by the aquastats. As the temperature of the water drops to the low setting, the aquastat closes a contact and starts the burner. When the temperature reaches the high setting, the aquastat opens the contact and stops the burner. There is usually a high limit setting which will open the contact, if it should fail to open on the automatic HI/LO control. This feature can be contained within the same instrument or it might be a separate unit. What temperature should the aquastat be set at for the boiler?

What is the sequence of operations of gas furnaces?

Thermostat calls for heat. Induced draft fan motor starts. Vent pressure switch verifies pressure. Simultaneously gas valve opens and ignitor lights burner(ignition varies: hot surface ignitor, electronic spark ignitor, or standing pilot). Flame is sensed. High limit temperature switch is made. Blower fan runs. Thermostat calls for no heat. Gas valves close. Burners shut off. Induced draft fan shuts off. Blower fan put into fan delay(fan blower continues to run). Low limit temperature switch made. Fan blower stops.


What is the main role of limit switches?

The main role of limit switches is to cut off the power to machinery when it reaches the extent of movement that is safe. An example of this is if an elevator went too high or too low for safety measures, the power would be cut off because of the limit switch.


How do you use gas burner?
