摘要:
A multi-way valve unit which provides low pressure unregulated gas flow and high pressure regulated gas flow in an integrated gas control system. A main and bypass diaphragm valves control gas flow through the gas valve system, the main and bypass valves being opened by pressure differentials on their respective valve diaphragms. A regulator valve and a snap valve modify gas pressure applied to the main and bypass valves diaphragms respectively. A control means actuates the regulator and snap valves based on degree of temperature deficiency sensed in a monitored space. The control means opens the snap valve to provide unregulated gas flow when low gas pressure is required, and opens the regulator valve to provide regulated high flow when high gas pressure is required.

A cooking assembly has a main burner, a pilot burner mounted in it and having a vent, a gas valve having separate main and pilot gas outlets, and a main-burner controller including a temperature sensor on the main burner, a control unit on the valve capable of varying gas output from the main gas outlet, and a capillary tube connected between the sensor and the control unit. This controller can vary gas flow from the main outlet in accordance with the temperature of the main burner as sensed by the sensor. An electrical igniter on the main burner can be energized by a switch on the valve. A pilot-burner controller connected to the switch includes a thermoelectric sensor in the pilot vent and blocks gas output from the gas outlets when insufficient heat is detected by its sensor and the switch is not closed. When a control knob on the valve is in a closed position no gas is supplied from the outlets to the burners, in a first open position gas is supplied only from the pilot outlet to the pilot burner, in a second open position gas is supplied from both outlets to both burners while closing the switch, and in a third open position gas is also supplied from both outlets to both burners without closing the switch and while controlling the rate of gas flow from the main outlet to the main burner in accordance with the temperature detected by the capillary sensor.

A control system, a control device therefor and methods of making the same are provided, the control device having an axially movable shaft for moving a movable valve into its latching position with an electromagnetic unit and also being rotatable from a first position thereof to a second position thereof to place and hold an electrical switch in an operating condition thereof, the switch being in series with the electromagnetic unit so that the electromagnetic unit can not have an electrical current flowing therethrough unless the switch is in the operating condition thereof.
摘要:
A controller for automatically regulating the supply of secondary combustion air to woodstoves and small furnaces. The controller includes a movable air valve for controlling the amount of secondary air admitted into the chamber. A self powered means monitors the concentration of combustible gases and vapors and actuates the movable air valve to increase the supply of secondary air in response to increasing concentrations of the combustible gases and vapors. The self-powered means can be two fluid filled sensor bulbs, one of which has a coating of a combustion catalyst. Alternatively, the self powered means can be two metallic stripes laminated together, one of which is coated with a combustion catalyst, and when heated, causes the air valve to actuate.
摘要:
A fluid flow sensing switch device having a housing provided with a fluid flow passage therethrough defined by an inlet and an outlet separated by a valve seat controlled by a movable valve member that is operated by the pressure differential between the inlet and the outlet, the device having an electrical switch construction operatively associated with the valve member and having the switch contacts thereof actuated by the pressure differential. The switch contacts of the switch construction are disposed in the fluid flow passage so as to be exposed to fluid flow therethrough and have a part thereof carried by the valve member.

A heating system employs a thermostat fuel control device and a safety fuel control device, such as a safety valve retained against a closing bias wherein a bulb contains an expandable fluid for releasing the safety valve, responding to an overheat condition of the heating system. The safety fuel control device can be employed as an addition to the normal recyclic cutoff.
摘要:
A flow control device for gas range ovens in which a main valve controlling the main burner outlet is operated in an ''''on'''' and ''''off'''' manner by an adjustable thermostat to maintain selected oven temperatures throughout, from warming, through baking, to broiling temperatures, and a bypass around the main valve opens to maintain a minimum constant burner flame when the thermostat is adjusted to broil temperature. The device further includes a thermoelectric safety cutoff valve controlling the fuel supply inlet thereto, a rotatable manual plug valve between the safety valve and the main valve, and a pilot gas outlet between the safety valve and the manual valve. The rotation of a single knob rotates the manual valve, adjusts the thermostat, and resets the safety valve.
摘要:
A temperature control device for regulating two primary energy sources simultaneously is disclosed. A single rotatable shaft provides the primary adjustment of a valve for regulating gas flow and the primary adjustment of the main contacts for an electric supply regulator, whereby the two regulators may be adjusted to a desired temperature setting. Secondary adjustment and operation of the device is by means of a temperature sensitive capillary tube which operates in response to a parameter to be controlled to expand or contract a bellows. The movable diaphragm of the bellows is connected by way of a second shaft to position both the gas valve and the electric contacts in accordance with the measured value.
