Patent number: 6579087Abstract: The invention relates to a control means for gas burners. Control means for gas burners are used for supplying a gas flow and a combustion air flow to a burner. In this procedure, the gas flow is adjustable in dependence on the combustion air pressure. In the case of known control means, pressure measurement is effected by means of a diaphragm, i.e. pneumatically. This pneumatic pressure measurement restricts the scope of application of known control means. In the case of the control means according to the invention, there is provided a sensor (16) which generates an electric or electronic signal 19 which is used for adjusting the gas valve 11 (FIG. 1).Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2002Date of Patent: June 17, 2003Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventor: Enno Vrolijk

Patent number: 6561791Abstract: The invention relates to a regulating system for a gas burner. Regulating systems for gas burners are used for guiding a gas flow and a combustion air flow to the burner. The gas flow can be regulated depending on combustion air pressure. Pressure is measured in known regulating devices with the aid of a membrane, that is pneumatically. The pneumatic pressure measurement limits the scope of application of known regulating devices. In the invention regulating device, a sensor (16) is arranged between a first line (10) guiding a gas flow and a second line (12) guiding the combustion air flow, an electric or electronic signal (19) being generated by the sensor that is used to regulate the gas valve (11).Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2001Date of Patent: May 13, 2003Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Enno Vrolijk, Tom Gerretsen

Publication number: 20020172902Abstract: The invention relates to a control method for gas burners for providing a gas-air mixture. A signal of a sensor is used for adapting the gas-air mixture to different gas qualities. According to the invention, the signal of the sensor is used for adapting the gas-air mixtures to different gas qualities at certain points in time only. This renders the control independent of aging processes of the sensor.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 2, 2002Publication date: November 21, 2002Inventor: Enno Vrolijk
