Ariston/Chaffoteaux 998624 Electrode (Detection)

a critical component used in specific models of Ariston and Chaffoteaux boilers. This electrode, often referred to as a flame detection or ionisation electrode, is essential for monitoring the presence of a flame within the boiler’s combustion chamber, ensuring safe and efficient operation.

• The detection electrode’s primary role is to confirm that a flame is present after the gas has been ignited. It does this by detecting ionized particles in the flame.
• If the electrode detects the flame, it allows the boiler to continue operating. If no flame is detected, the electrode signals the boiler’s control system to shut off the gas supply, preventing unburned gas from leaking and reducing the risk of an explosion or fire.
