When the industry demanded a pilot with moisture-proof flame detection and integrated high-performance electronics, Zeeco delivered.
As the world leader in combustion solutions, Zeeco understands reliability, durability, and safety are essential for proper pilot operation. Zeeco’s proprietary SM series pilot features a waterproof High Energy Igniter (HEI) for superior ignition performance. Our hermetically-sealed flame rod delivers reliable flame detection, even in the wettest environments. The flame rod is located within the pilot tip to enable the most reliable flame signal and can be operated over a wide range of fuels from 90% hydrogen to 100% propane. The junction box seals and protects all electrical connections from moisture and eliminates the need for environmentally-related electrical maintenance repairs.
Zeeco’s HEI ignition probes are rated at two joules for first time, every time firing. This technology combines a robust, high energy discharge spark with long lasting performance. Zeeco’s HEI Ignition Probes are superior to other traditional probes in that they will spark even when submerged underwater. We can custom design enclosures that mount to the bottom of the pilot for almost every area classification. In support of Zeeco’s innovative design philosophy, our SM series pilot features a removable spud holder for easy, routine maintenance. We also offer a forced draft version.
