Burner photocell for Riello G20LC

The photocell, also known as a flame sensor, is a vital component in the Riello G20LC burner, responsible for monitoring the presence and stability of the flame during operation. By detecting the burner's flame, the photocell ensures safe and efficient functionality. If the flame is not detected or becomes unstable, the photocell signals the control system to initiate a shutdown, preventing potential hazards.

In compliance with the EU Directive 2011/65/EU, which restricts the use of certain hazardous substances in electronic equipment, Riello has introduced cadmium-free photocells for models including the G20 series. This initiative aligns with environmental and safety standards, ensuring that replacements are both safe and compliant.

Regular maintenance and timely replacement of the photocell are crucial for the burner's optimal performance. A malfunctioning photocell can lead to issues such as random shutdowns or frequent cycling of the burner. Therefore, ensuring the photocell's proper functionality is essential for maintaining the safety and efficiency of the Riello G20LC burner.
