US 12,135,134 B2 · Device for regulating a supply of gas

Abstract

A universally applicable regulation function is provided for a gas-operated heating device with more than one burner. The function facilitates start-up, regulation, and deactivation processes. A first valve and a second valve are connected together in a gas-tight manner. The first valve has an ignition lock which closes the main gas flow in the event of an ignition, a thermoelectric ignition fuse, a thermostat, and optionally an integrated pressure regulator. The start-up of the first valve allows the activation and deactivation of the gas flow. The first valve has two gas outlets, a first outlet for connecting the second valve, wherein the first outlet is located downstream of the ignition fuse and the optional pressure regulator and upstream of the thermostat, and a second outlet downstream of the thermostat, the second outlet leading to a first burner. The second valve is a thermostat. The first outlet of the first valve is connected to the inlet of the second valve, and the outlet of the second valve is connected to a second burner.

Dependent claims

A universally applicable control device for a gas-operated heating device having more than one burner, the control device comprising:

a first valve (1) and a second valve (2) connected (28) to each another in a gas-tight manner, wherein the first valve (1) has an ignition lock which closes the main gas flow during ignition, a thermoelectric ignition fuse (11;12;13), and a thermostat (19), wherein the gas flow is switched on and off via start-up (14), wherein the first valve (1) has a first gas outlet (6) for the connection of the second valve (2), which is arranged downstream of the ignition fuse (11;
12;13) and upstream of the thermostat (19), and has a second gas outlet (7) which is downstream of the thermostat (19) and which leads to first burner (26), and wherein the first outlet (6) of the first valve (1) is connected to an inlet (8) of the second valve (2), and an outlet (9) of the second valve (2) is connected to second burner (27) and wherein the second valve (2) comprises a thermostat (20) wherein both valves (1;2) have approximately the same pressure drop across between inlet (5) of the first valve (1) and the outlets (7;9) of both valves (1;2), enabling the two burners (26;27) to be operated.
