Kromschroder Electrode 34433320

Kromschroder Electrode 34433320, type designation K02, is an ionization and ignition electrode with a total length of 320 mm and a rod length of 200 mm. It is resistant to soot and features ceramic insulation. This electrode is designed for installation in the flame zone of a burner or pilot burner, where it can deliver a high-voltage spark for ignition or conduct a rectified current for flame detection, depending on the burner design.

Parts of this type are selected primarily by physical dimensions: overall length, bend shape, insulator diameter, electrode gap, and mounting flange configuration. They must match the burner series they were originally shaped for. Before ordering, verify that the new part matches the original in bend geometry and seating, and that the gap between the electrode and the burner body (or between two electrodes) is set to the value specified by the burner manufacturer.

Common failure modes include erosion of the tip, cracking of the ceramic insulator, sooting from combustion deposits, and a drifting gap that lengthens ignition time or prevents flame detection. When these occur, the burner may fail to ignite or lose flame signal, leading to shutdown or repeated ignition attempts. Inspect the electrode for visible damage, soot buildup, or changes in gap distance.
