Abstract
A fuel supply system for a gas burner assembly includes a fuel supply, a forced air supply, and an injection assembly positioned proximate the gas burner assembly for providing a flow of combustion air and fuel through an inlet into a fuel chamber. A pressure controlled valve is operably coupled with the fuel supply and the forced air supply, the pressure controlled valve being configured for stopping the flow of fuel when a pressure of the flow of combustion air drops below a predetermined pressure, potentially indicating a malfunction or failure of the forced air supply.
Claims20
A cooktop appliance, comprising:
- a top panel;
- a gas burner assembly positioned at the top panel, the gas burner assembly comprising a burner body defining a fuel chamber and a plurality of flame ports, the fuel chamber being in fluid communication with the plurality of flame ports;
- and
- a fuel supply system comprising:
- a fuel supply for providing a flow of fuel through a fuel supply conduit;
- a forced air supply for providing a flow of combustion air through an air supply conduit;
- an injection assembly positioned proximate an inlet of the fuel chamber, the injection assembly being in fluid communication with the fuel supply conduit for receiving the flow of fuel and the air supply conduit for receiving the flow of combustion air;
- and
- a pressure controlled valve operably coupled with the fuel supply and the forced air supply, the pressure controlled valve configured for stopping the flow of fuel when a pressure of the flow of combustion air drops below a predetermined pressure independent of a fuel pressure of the flow of fuel.
