Description
The Rheem-Ruud 62-23543-05 Flame Sensor is a safety detection component used in gas heating system to verify the presence of a burner flame during operation. It works by sensing electrical current generated through flame rectification, allowing the control board to confirm proper ignition. This part is commonly used in furnaces, and water heating equipment within HVAC systems where flame monitoring is required for safe combustion control. Within the burner assembly, it supports ignition verification, helps prevent unburned gas flow, and contributes to safe system shutdown if flame is not detected during normal heating cycles.
