    Abstract: Method for operating a gas burner appliance (10), the gas burner appliance (10) comprising: a combustion chamber (11), a mixing device (23), a fan (14), a gas safety valve unit (19) assigned to the gas duct (16) having a first gas safety valve (19a) and a second gas safety valve (19b) positioned downstream of the first gas safety valve (19a), a gas flow modulator (18) assigned to the gas duct (16), and an electrical or electronic absolute pressure sensor (21) assigned to the gas duct (16) positioned downstream of the first gas safety valve (19a). The gas burner appliance (10) is operated to compensate for a fluctuating gas inlet pressure of the gas burner appliance by executing the following steps: Measure a first absolute pressure by the absolute pressure sensor (21) when at least the first gas safety valve (19a) of the gas safety valve unit (19) is closed. Measure a second absolute pressure by the absolute pressure sensor (21) when the gas safety valve unit (19) is opened. Determine a pressure difference between the first absolute pressure or a pressure depending on the first absolute pressure and the second absolute pressure or a pressure depending on the second absolute pressure. Operate the gas flow modulator (18) dependent from said pressure difference.

    Abstract: Method for operating a gas burner appliance (10), the gas burner appliance (10) comprising: a combustion chamber (11) in which a defined gas/air mixture is combusted, a mixing device (23) to provide said gas/air mixture, a gas safety valve unit (19) assigned to the gas duct (16) to open or close the gas duct (16) having a first gas safety valve (19a) and a second gas safety valve (19b) positioned downstream of the first gas safety valve (19a), a gas flow modulator (18) assigned to the gas duct (16), an electrical or electronic absolute pressure sensor (21) positioned downstream of the first gas safety valve (19a), wherein the gas burner appliance (10) goes into lockout state if a defined number of burner-start-ups of the gas burner appliance (10) failed, namely did not result into a combustion, and wherein the gas burner appliance (10) is operated by executing the following steps to provide an electrical or electronic pressure-switch functionality: Before each burner-start-up of the gas burner appliance (10) measuring a first absolute pressure by the absolute pressure sensor (21) when the first gas safety valve (19a) is closed. During each burner-start-up of the gas burner appliance (10) measuring a second absolute pressure by the absolute pressure sensor (21) when the first gas safety valve (19a) is opened, determining a pressure difference between the first and second absolute pressure, and comparing the pressure difference with a threshold. A lockout of gas burner appliance (10) is allowed or prevented on basis of the comparison of the pressure difference with the threshold.

    Abstract: Method for operating a gas burner appliance (10), the gas burner appliance com- prising: a combustion chamber (11) in which a defined gas/air mixture is combusted after combustion has been started; a mixing device (25) to provide said gas/air mixture by mixing an air flow provided by an air duct (15) with a gas flow provided by a gas duct (16); a fan (14) to provide the air flow or the flow of the gas/air mixture; a gas safety valve unit (19) assigned to the gas duct to open or close the gas duct; a gas flow modulator (18) or a gas flow regulator (28) assigned to the gas duct to keep a mixing ratio of the defined gas/air mixture constant over the modulation range of the gas burner appliance; an absolute pressure sensor (21) positioned between the gas safety valve unit and the mixing device, wherein the gas burner appliance is operated to determine the air flow resistance of the same by executing the following steps before combustion becomes started: Measuring a first absolute pressure by the absolute pressure sensor (21) when the gas safety valve unit (19) is closed and when the fan (14) is stopped. Measuring a second absolute pressure by the absolute pressure sensor (21) when the gas safety valve unit (19) is closed and when the fan (14) is running. Determining a pressure difference between the first absolute pressure and the second absolute pressure. Determining on basis of the pressure difference the air flow resistance of the gas burner appliance.

    Abstract: Method for operating a gas burner appliance (10) comprising: a combustion chamber (11), an ignition device (27), a fan (14), a gas safety valve unit (19) assigned to the gas duct (16), an electric gas flow modulator (18) assigned to the gas duct (16), a sensor (21) positioned between the gas safety valve unit (19) and the gas flow modulator (18), wherein the gas burner appliance (10) is operated to determine the gas family of the gas of the gas/air mixture by the following steps: Before the gas burner appliance becomes started measuring the ambient air pressure by the sensor (21), wherein the ambient air pressure is measured when the safety valve unit (19) is closed, the gas flow modulator (18) is opened and the fan (14) is stopped. When the gas burner appliance (10) be- comes started running the fan (14) at a defined fan speed, increasing the open- ing of the gas flow modulator (18) while activating the ignition device (27) trying to ignite the gas/air mixture until the activation of ignition device results into a combustion of the gas/air mixture. Determining from the fan speed of the fan (14) and from the measured ambient air pressure an air volume flow. Measuring the gas pressure by the sensor (21) when the safety valve unit (19) is opened, the gas flow modulator (18) is opened and the fan (14) is running. Determining from the opening of the gas flow modulator (18) at which the combustion started and from the measured gas pressure a gas volume flow. Determining a ratio between the gas volume flow and the air volume and from said ratio the gas family of the combusted gas.
