More and more people choose gas heating. It is considered relatively cheap and definitely more ecological than coal heating. However, you need to take care of safety. Here the question arises why the gas pressure sensor plays such an important role.

Why is there a gas pressure sensor in a heating boiler?
A gas pressure sensor , like a carbon monoxide detector, is necessary for gas furnaces. Such a product should be placed in a room where there is a gas furnace. For a gas boiler to function properly, the correct pressure of the heating medium must be ensured. If pressure is lost or its concentration is lower, the gas furnace may be damaged.
Therefore, a gas pressure sensor is used here to check whether there is a leak or damage to the entire system. It measures the pressure on the burner and on the boiler connection. It controls and then transmits information about the gas pressure, which creates a vacuum in the supply system. Normally, the pressure should not be higher than 3 bar, otherwise the furnace will be turned off. If the sensor detects a drop below 1 bar, it may indicate a failure of the gas furnace.
How can you tell if the gas pressure sensor is damaged?
The sensor should be reliable, but this equipment can also be damaged. In such a case, symptoms appear that indicate a failure. Damaged sensors often turn off furnaces for no reason. Additionally, boiling water may appear in the tap and the radiators will be cold.
The sensor, not controlling the pressure, will transmit incorrect signals. Additionally, pressure leaks or even lack of tightness may occur. The pressure in the furnace may also suddenly increase. A damaged sensor will read the values incorrectly, which in turn will lead to an increase in pressure in the gas furnace.
Where is the gas pressure sensor in the furnace?
There should be a carbon monoxide detector on the wall in the rooms. It plays an extremely important role. If the oxide increases and flows out, the sensor will emit a sound informing about the danger.
It is not without significance that a carbon monoxide sensor is necessary not only if you have a coal furnace, but also a gas furnace. Please note that it is best to place it on the wall so that it can take measurements quickly. However, returning to the gas sensor in the furnace, it is most often located in the very center of the furnace. Most often, there are three wires coming out of it that measure the increase and decrease in pressure.
Of course, they operate in automatic mode and immediately after a deviation occurs, the furnace is turned off. The controller analyzes the string, then turns off the device. In addition to using sensors, every gas installation also requires carbon monoxide detectors. Battery-powered ones will work. They measure whether the CO2 concentration in the air is too high.
Gas pressure sensors at the Onninen wholesaler
It is worth choosing a gas pressure sensor from the Onninen wholesaler. Noteworthy is the De Dietrich C 230 Eco 3 + 4-element gas pressure sensor 100011031 . It is an extremely important part of the entire heating system. Thanks to it, the gas installation works properly. You can also be sure that the boiler is working efficiently, which in turn translates into lower gas consumption. The sensor also checks whether combustion processes are stabilized properly. If an anomaly occurs, a quick reaction prevents further damage, which may occur in the reducer, but also may involve a technical failure of the entire system.
A good choice may also be the Wolf 10mbar gas pressure sensor with cable 8612071 . Despite the low price, it works really effectively. Provides effective measurements, even in difficult conditions. The maximum pressure in this case is 150 bar. Of course, the product has European certification, so it meets the most stringent quality standards.
It is worth choosing the De Dietrich C 230 Eco 5 + 6-element gas pressure sensor 100011034c . This model has a specially designed structure. Thanks to this, it is resistant to changing working conditions and the environment. Even during intensive use, it is reliable. It is compatible with the Eco series of boilers. It prolongs the proper operation of the furnace and prevents it from being damaged or the heating medium leaking into the rooms.
