2. Pilot light - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_light

   Common applications include household water heaters, central heating systems, fireplaces, flamethrowers, and hot air balloons. While most commercial kitchens still rely on pilot lights for burners, ovens, and grills, current residential systems utilize an electrical ignition. This is more commonly known as standby on modern remote control fires.

3. Piezo ignition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piezo_ignition

   A piezo igniter element from a typical lighter. Piezo ignition is a type of ignition that is used in portable camping stoves, gas grills and some lighters. [1] Piezo ignition uses the principle of piezoelectricity, which is the electric charge that accumulates in some materials in response to mechanical deformation.

4. Oil burner - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_burner

   An oil burner is a part attached to an oil furnace, water heater, or boiler. [1] It provides the ignition of heating oil/biodiesel fuel used to heat either air or water via a heat exchanger . The fuel is atomized into a fine spray usually by forcing it under pressure through a nozzle which gives the resulting flame a specific flow rate, angle ...

5. Gas lighter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_lighter

   Wand lighter. A gas lighter is a device used to ignite a gas stove burner. It is used for gas stoves which do not have automatic ignition systems. It uses a physical phenomenon which is called the piezo-electric effect to generate an electric spark that ignites the combustible gas from the stove’s burner.

6. Thermostat - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermostat

   For tankless "on demand" water heaters, pilot ignition is preferable because it is faster than hot-surface ignition and more reliable than spark ignition. Some programmable thermostats - those that offer simple "millivolt" or "two-wire" modes - will control these systems.

7. Tankless water heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankless_water_heating

   Tankless gas electronic ignition water heaters. Gas water heaters have an exhaust vent or one to two exhaust pipes on the top, and still require electric power for electronics, sensing and ignition. A three-phase, 21 kW, 400-volt tankless water heater in Europe, with new European color coding for three-phase power.
