Description

The function of the Beko Oven Thermocouple 145mm 430920001 230100020 is to measure and regulate the temperature inside an oven. This specific thermocouple is designed for use in Beko ovens and has a length of 145mm.

A thermocouple works based on the principle of temperature-dependent voltage generation. It consists of two dissimilar metal wires joined at one end, forming a junction. When one end is exposed to heat, it creates a voltage difference between the junction and the other end due to the Seebeck effect.

The main purpose of this thermocouple in an oven is to ensure safety by preventing gas leaks. It acts as a safety device by monitoring whether there is a pilot flame present or not. If there is no pilot flame detected, indicating that the main burner isn’t lit, then the thermocouple sends a signal to close off or restrict gas flow through the valve, preventing potential hazards.

The length of this thermocouple allows for flexibility in installation and positioning within the oven.
