- Flammable vapor sensor film: Capable of quickly reacting to gasoline vapors in the surrounding air of the water heater, causing a change in resistance based on the vapor concentration
- Quick response: Upon detecting a leak, it quickly triggers the control module to shut off the gas supply to the water heater and prevent ignition, reducing safety risks
- No external power required: It relies solely on the small amount of power provided by the control circuit to read the sensor's resistance changes and perform subsequent processing
- Fixing the water heater issue: After replacing the sensor, the water heater quickly started working again and hot water was restored.
