Patent number: 9915427Abstract: A dual pilot light burner assembly suitable for working with a first type of gas or a second type of gas. According to one implementation the assembly includes a support, a regulating sleeve having a first nozzle, an air and gas mixing and intake chamber, and an injector having a second nozzle. The regulating sleeve is moveable with respect to the injector for placing the first supply nozzle in a first position with respect to the second supply nozzle for the delivery of the first type of gas to the pilot nozzle. The regulating sleeve moveable with respect to the injector for placing the first supply nozzle in a second position with respect to the second supply nozzle for the delivery of the second type of gas to the pilot nozzle. The regulating sleeve including structure accessible by an external tool and capable of receiving an end of the tool for use in moving the regulating sleeve between the first and second positions.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2014Date of Patent: March 13, 2018Assignee: COPRECI, S. COOP.Inventor: Jose Joaquin Antxia Uribetxeberria

Patent number: 8899971Abstract: A dual fuel vent free gas heater. In one implementation the heater includes a gas burner adapted to receive one of a first type of gas or of a second type of gas with a first pilot burner intended to receive the first type of gas and a second pilot burner intended to receive the second type of gas. A first temperature sensor is located adjacent the first pilot burner and a second temperature sensor is located adjacent the second pilot burner. A normally closed thermal switch is coupled to the first temperature sensor and located in the electrical flow path between a voltage source and a gas control valve actuator, the thermal switch configured to open when the temperature detected by the first temperature sensor exceeds a predetermined temperature indicative that the second type of gas is being delivered to the first pilot burner.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2010Date of Patent: December 2, 2014Assignee: Coprecitec, S.L.Inventors: Ruben Mateos Martin, José Joaquin Antxia Uribetxebarria

Patent number: 8137098Abstract: A multiple gas pilot burner assembly for a household heating appliance. The pilot burner includes an injector having a first conduit for receiving a flow of a first combustible fluid, a second conduit for receiving a flow of a second combustible fluid and a third conduit connected to and in fluid communication with the first and second conduits which is configured to receive the flow of the first combustible fluid from the first conduit or the flow of the second combustible fluid from the second conduit. A single nozzle at the outlet of the third conduit is provided for supplying a pilot flame. The assembly also includes a single flame igniter positioned to cause an ignition of the pilot flame at the nozzle and also a single thermocouple positioned to be heated by the pilot flame and to generate an electrical current when heated.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2009Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Assignee: Coprecitec, S.L.Inventors: José Joaquín Antxia Uribetxebarria, Ruben Mateos Martin

Patent number: 8118590Abstract: A dual fuel vent free gas heater having at least one gas burner with a plurality of gas outlet ports. The gas outlet ports are in flow communication with at least one pilot flame burner. At least one fuel injector feeds fuel to the burner providing for introduction of more than one fuel to the burner. Optionally, an oxygen detection system, manual control valve, linkage, and/or shut off control system may be incorporated into the dual fuel vent free heater.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2008Date of Patent: February 21, 2012Assignee: Coprecitec, S.L.Inventors: John Stephen (Steve) Manning, José Joaquín Antxia Uribetxebarria, Ruben Mateos Martin

Publication number: 20100310997Abstract: A domestic gas appliance is disclosed. In one implementation the appliance includes a burner and a gas control valve situated to deliver and vary a flow of a gas to the burner. The gas control valve has an actuator that induces an opening and/or closing of the flow control valve dependent on a control signal delivered to the actuator. A control device is electrically coupled to the actuator and is used to control the opening and closing of the gas control valve. The control device is coupled to an audio input and is configured to receive an analog sound signal and to generate the control signal based on the analog sound signal. A method of modulating a flame in a burner of a domestic gas appliance is also disclosed. In one implementation the method includes producing an analog sound signal and subsequently creating a reference signal based on the analog sound signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2010Publication date: December 9, 2010Applicant: COPRECITEC, S.L.Inventors: José Ignacio Múgica Odriozola, Iñigo Albizuri Landa, José Joaquín Antxia Uribetxebarria, Aitor Zabalo Bayón, Antonio José Barbero Merino

Publication number: 20090159068Abstract: A barbecue having a manual operating mode and an automatic operating mode. In the manual operating mode a user is required to act affirmatively on the burner or burners of the barbecue in order to light them. In the automatic operating mode, a controller operably controls an igniter and/or a pilot to automatically light the burner or burners without the need for a user to affirmatively act on the burners themselves.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2008Publication date: June 25, 2009Applicant: COPRECITEC, S.L.Inventors: Felix Querejeta, Jose Joaquin Antxia, Aitor Zabalo, Inigo Albizuri, Jose Ignacio Mugica
