Technical Report · Wed Jun 01 04:00:00 EDT 1977

OSTI ID:5284080

Comments made at a workshop held to evaluate the prospects of retrofitting residential gas furnaces with intermittent ignition devices (IID) and correspondence on this subject are presented. The elimination of the standing pilot light and substitution of an electric ignition device on 2 to 3 million residential gas furnaces in California offers substantial gas saving. A report from an analysis on the feasibility of such IID installations in terms of safety, cost, insurance, and reliability was the basis of the workshop. (LCL)
