Sequence of OperationSequence of Operation
• The sequence of operation is the order in which the call for heat, the ignition, the heating (or blower operation) and the shutdown work.
• Depends on the type of the furnace.• Every manufacture may have different
timings, but still the same concept.

Standing PilotStanding Pilot
• A standing pilot system is one that has a constant pilot light.
• If the pilot light goes out it must be manually reset.
• The heat from the pilot light creates voltage on a thermocouple which keeps the gas valve operational.

burner manifold.– The gas ignites and starts heating up the
furnace.

• Sequence:– The furnace heats up to the fan cut-in point
and the fan control turns on the blower. – This provides heat to the space.– Once the thermostat opens the R-W circuit
the gas valve closes.– The blower continues to run and cools the
furnace.

Spark IgnitionSpark Ignition
• Spark Ignition, or intermitent pilot systems are when the pilot light is shut off after every call for heat.
• On most intermitent pilot systems there is also a draft inducer, but not all.
