English

Subject field(s)
  • Burners and Steamfitting
DEF

Ignition by an energy source which is automatically energized each time there is a call for heat, and which is maintained during the entire run period. This ensures that a means of igniting the incoming fuel will always be present.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Fumisterie et brûleurs
CONT

D'autres foyers utilisent un allumage automatique, par exemple électronique, ou un autre genre d'allumage intermittent qui élimine la nécessité d'une veilleuse continue en rallumant la combustion du gaz à chaque fois qu'on désire voir la flamme dans le foyer. Lorsque vous prévoyez acheter un foyer à gaz, préférez ceux qui n'ont pas de veilleuse continuellement allumée.
