A thermopile assembly in a natural gas relief heater is a safety device that converts heat from the pilot flame into electrical energy. This energy keeps the gas valve open while the pilot is lit, allowing gas to flow. If the pilot light goes out, the thermopile stops generating power, which closes the valve and prevents gas leaks. It ensures safe operation of the heater by only allowing gas flow when there’s a flame present.
