I am looking at a thermopile (a cigarette shaped/sized item similar to a thermocouple) rated at "250-750 millivolts" output. Could someone explain the meaning of 250-750 mv versus 250 mv output by itself or 750 mv output by itself? The heater I want to install it in does not work with its old thermopile I measured at (a supposedly age degraded) 360 mv output. Will a new 250-750 mv thermopile work?
The catalog listing is for a single item. Not a choice of thermopiles, one for 250 mv, one for 750 mv, etc. I was about to choose this one because delivery date was sooner.
Boiler versus furnace vs water heater is not relevant here. The thermopile (or thermocouple) works the same way and does the same thing for any of these heaters, gas models.
