Baxi 234073 Lead Electrode

a critical component in certain Baxi boilers, playing a key role in the ignition and flame sensing process.

• Ignition:
  • The lead electrode is used to generate the spark needed to ignite the gas within the boiler’s burner. This spark initiates the combustion process, allowing the boiler to produce heat.
• Flame Sensing:
  • It often doubles as a flame sensor. After the initial ignition, the electrode detects the presence of a flame to ensure that the combustion process is ongoing and stable. If the flame is not detected, the system may shut down to prevent unsafe conditions.
• Durability:
  • Made from materials that can withstand high temperatures, the electrode is designed to operate reliably over time, although it can wear out or become dirty.
