2. Flame detector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flame_detector

   A flame detector is a sensor designed to detect and respond to the presence of a flame or fire, allowing flame detection.Responses to a detected flame depend on the installation, but can include sounding an alarm, deactivating a fuel line (such as a propane or a natural gas line), and activating a fire suppression system.

3. Pilot light - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_light

   In natural gas furnaces, water heaters, and room heating systems, a safety cut-off switch is normally included so that the gas supply to the pilot and heating system is shut off by an electrically operated valve if the pilot light goes out. This cut-off switch usually detects the pilot light in one of several ways:

4. Flame supervision device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flame_supervision_device

   For gas appliances, a flame supervision device (FSD) – alternative name: flame failure device (FFD) – is a general term for any device designed to stop flammable gas going to the burner of a gas appliance if the flame is extinguished. This is to prevent a dangerous buildup of gas within the appliance, its chimney or the room. [1]

5. Gas detector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_detector

   The first gas detector in the industrial age was the flame safety lamp (or Davy lamp) was invented by Sir Humphry Davy (of England) in 1815 to detect the presence of methane (firedamp) in underground coal mines. The flame safety lamp consisted of an oil flame adjusted to specific height in fresh air.

6. Flame ionization detector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flame_ionization_detector

   Flame ionization detectors are used very widely in gas chromatography because of a number of advantages. Cost: Flame ionization detectors are relatively inexpensive to acquire and operate. Low maintenance requirements: Apart from cleaning or replacing the FID jet, these detectors require little maintenance.

7. Central heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_heating

   Primary energy sources may be fuels like coal or wood, oil, kerosene, natural gas, or electricity. Compared with systems such as fireplaces and wood stoves, a central heating plant offers improved uniformity of temperature control over a building, usually including automatic control of the furnace.
