Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 DEF
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
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
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

Les [...] brûleurs se différencient essentiellement par la configuration de la tête de mélange, dans laquelle air et gaz sont intimement mêlés avant leur inflammation. Une tête de mélange adéquate permet un mélange rapide et homogène pour un excès d'air minimum et assure une bonne stabilisation de la flamme. À cet effet, les fabricants utilisent différentes fentes, lances à gaz, dispositifs tourbillonneurs, disques concentriques pour l'air et le gaz, aubes déflectrices, accroche-flammes à fentes ou trous, etc. 1, record 2, French, - t%C3%AAte%20de%20m%C3%A9lange
