A photoconductive device that responds to the visible light emitted by an oil flame. In the presence of visible light, the electrical resistance of the cadmium sulfide (CdS) becomes very low and the cell conducts current. 4, record 1, English, - cadmium%20sulfide%20cell

The most modern type of primary control is called the cadmium cell control. The cadmium sulfide flame detection cell is located in a position where it directly views the flame. If ... functional problems should occur the electrical resistance across the face of the cell would increase, causing the primary control to shut the burner off in 70 sec or less. 5, record 1, English, - cadmium%20sulfide%20cell
