Abstract
A gas oven includes a gas valve having a rotor plug rotatably held within a valve body of the gas valve, an oxygen supply system fluidically connected with the gas valve for directing oxygen into the valve for adjusting an oxygen stream flowing into a gas stream through the valve for helping a complete gas combustion in the gas oven to prevent the production of poisonous carbon.
Claims6
A gas oven comprising:
- a gas valve means formed in the gas oven for controlling a flow rate of fuel gas from a fuel gas source to a fuel gas burner by leading a fuel gas stream through said gas valve means;
- and an oxygen supply system supplying oxygen fluid led through said gas valve means parallelly flowing towards the fuel gas burner as controlled by said gas valve means for helping a complete combustion of the fuel gas at the gas burner;
- said gas valve means including a valve body having a gas inlet port vertically formed in a gas tube adapter for directing fuel gas into the port, a rotor plug hole horizontally formed in the valve body perpendicularly communicating the gas inlet port for rotatably engaging a rotor plug in the hole, and a rotating knob secured with the rotor plug rotatably mounted on the gas oven for operating the rotor plug for adjusting gas flow rate to a burning nozzle of the oven;
- said rotor plug having a stem secured to a knob and a plug portion formed with a central longitudinal hole about a longitudinal axis of the plug, a large gas inlet opening radially formed through a cross section of the plug perpendicularly intersecting and communicating the central longitudinal hole having a large gas outlet opening formed in an opposite end of the inlet opening on a perimeter of the plug communicating with a first gas passage formed in the valve body to be finally connected with an outer large gas nozzle of the gas burner, a small gas inlet opening radially formed in the plug to be angularly separated from the large opening along a cross sectional plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and communicating with the central longitudinal hole and communicating a second gas passage formed in the valve body to be finally connected with an inner small gas nozzle of the gas burner, and a pilot gas outlet opening formed in an outer portion of the plug communicating with a pilot gas passage formed in the valve body to be finally communicated with a pilot gas nozzle for discharging pilot gas to be ignited by an igniting means secured to the valve body;
- and an oxygen passage means formed in said valve body;
- and
- said oxygen passage means including:
- an oxygen adapter base provided on the valve body for connecting an oxygen adapter of said oxygen supply system including an oxygen source connected with an oxygen cylinder and a oxygen gas tube, and an oxygen inlet port formed in the valve body on the oxygen adapter base, juxtapositional to the gas inlet port formed in the valve body for directing oxygen into the valve means.
