摘要:
Control Devices for controlling the flow of fuel to a gas burner. In a first embodiment of the invention a main valve is operated by a bleed controlled diaphragm. An electromagnetic operator operates an on-off bleed valve and an orifice bleed valve. The orifice bleed valve includes an operating stem surrounded by a valve collar through which an aperture extends. When the electromagnetic operator is deenergized, the on-off bleed valve is closed and a leaf spring is prevented from urging the orifice bleed valve collar against a corresponding valve seat, assuring full bleed flow to the operating chamber and maintaining the main valve in a closed position. When the electromagnetic operator is energized, the leaf spring is allowed to urge the orifice bleed valve collar against its corresponding valve seat and the on-off bleed valve is opened. Bleed gas is then supplied through the restricted aperture in the orifice bleed valve collar and is bled off to a servo regulator by the on-off bleed valve, reducing the operating chamber pressure, allowing the main valve to open and regulating the outlet pressure. A second embodiment of the invention provides a step flow to the burner which is pressure regulated on both low and high flow states. The first opening step is controlled in the same manner as the first embodiment of the invention. The second opening step, however, is provided by a second electromagnetic operated valve which, when opened, places the low pressure servo regulator and a high pressure servo regulator in parallel. When the servo regulators are connected in parallel, the high pressure regulator is dominant in regulating the outlet pressure.
摘要:
A dual shut-off gas control device having a diaphragm operated valve and a control valve disposed in series in the main flow path to control the flow of fuel to a main burner. A single bimetal element acts to operate both a bleed valve and a control or automatic valve in a sequential manner when heated by a thermostatically controlled heater. The bleed valve includes an inlet bleed valve connected to the inlet, an outlet bleed valve connected to an outlet pressure chamber and an outlet connected to an operating pressure chamber. The main diaphragm responds to a pressure differential between the outlet pressure chamber and the operating pressure chamber. Outlet pressure regulation is provided by a diaphragm operated pressure regulator valve which has its inlet connected to the outlet of the bleed valve and its outlet connected to the outlet of the control device. Dual shutoff of the main flow path is provided by the main diaphragm operated valve and the automatic valve and dual shut-off of the bleed flow path is provided by the inlet bleed valve and the pressure regulator valve. A modification of the main diaphragm operated valve provides for a step opening.
