Abstract
An oxy-hydrogen generator control system may include an oxy-hydrogen generator for fuel production on demand. A controller may determine if ignition is present in a burner assembly prior to generating the oxy-hydrogen fuel and providing it to the burner assembly. The controller may also purge system lines of any residual oxy-hydrogen fuel when heating is no longer needed.
Claims10
An oxy-hydrogen generator control system, comprising:
- a burner assembly;
- an oxy-hydrogen generator coupled to the burner assembly;
- a valve coupled between the oxy-hydrogen generator and the burner assembly;
- and
- a controller coupled to the valve and the burner assembly, the controller configured to:
- detect a heat distribution source signal to initiate oxy-hydrogen fuel generation,
- detect a burner assembly signal that an ignition source is enabled, and
- provide a valve opening signal to the valve to allow oxy-hydrogen fuel into the burner assembly.

An oxy-hydrogen generator control system, comprising:
- an oxy-hydrogen micro-nozzle burner;
- an oxy-hydrogen electrolysis generator coupled to the micro-nozzle burner;
- a water source coupled to the electrolysis generator;
- a conduit between the electrolysis generator and the micro-nozzle burner, the conduit having an internal volume of less than 200 ml;
- and
- a controller coupled to the valve and the burner assembly, the controller configured to:
- detect a signal that an ignition source proximate the micro-nozzle burner is enabled, and
- allow oxy-hydrogen fuel from the electrolysis generator into the micro-nozzle burner.
