Abstract
A fuel supply system for a gas burner assembly. The gas burner assembly includes an inner burner stage positioned concentrically within an outer burner stage. The fuel supply system includes a fuel supply for providing a primary flow of fuel through a primary fuel conduit and a single outlet control valve operably coupled to the primary fuel conduit. A first and second fuel supply conduit split off of the primary fuel conduit and are fluidly coupled with the outer burner stage and the inner burner stage, respectively. A shutoff valve is operably coupled to one of the first fuel supply conduit and the second fuel supply conduit and is configured for closing when a flow rate of fuel through the shutoff valve drops below a predetermined flow rate.
Claims15
A cooktop appliance, comprising:
- a top panel;
- a gas burner assembly positioned at the top panel, the gas burner assembly comprising one or more burner bodies defining a first plurality of flame ports, a first fuel chamber in fluid communication with the first plurality of flame ports, a second plurality of flame ports, and a second fuel chamber in fluid communication with the second plurality of flame ports;
- and
- a fuel supply system comprising:
- a fuel supply for providing a primary flow of fuel through a primary fuel conduit;
- a single outlet control valve operably coupled to the primary fuel conduit for regulating the primary flow of fuel;
- a first fuel supply conduit providing fluid communication between the primary fuel conduit and the first fuel chamber;
- a second fuel supply conduit providing fluid communication between the primary fuel conduit and the second fuel chamber;
- and
- a shutoff valve operably coupled to one of the first fuel supply conduit and the second fuel supply conduit, the shutoff valve being configured for closing when a flow rate of fuel through the shutoff valve drops below a predetermined flow rate.
