  • Patent number: 4706704
    Abstract: A fuel control valve construction, parts therefor and methods of making the same are provided, the construction having a housing provided with an inlet adapted to be interconnected to a fuel source and an outlet adapted to be interconnected to a burner. The housing has a main pressure regulator and a main valve operated by the main pressure regulator for controlling fuel flow from the inlet to the outlet to provide a full rated flow of fuel to the burner. The housing has a by-pass for interconnecting the inlet to the outlet to provide a fuel flow to the burner that is less than a full rated flow of fuel but is sufficient by itself to support combustion at the burner until the main valve provides the full rated flow of fuel thereto. The housing has a by-pass pressure regulator for controlling the flow of fuel through the by-pass independently of the operation of the main pressure regulator.

  • Patent number: 4254796
    Abstract: There is disclosed a fast-resetting, step-opening gas regulator valve of the diaphragm pressure controlled operation which has an internal bleed cavity and a bleed passageway communicating through a snap-acting valve responsive to a heating demand electromagnet and a spring-biased regulator valve that responds to the outlet pressure. The valve structure has a step opening characteristic which is provided by a balancing of pressures and regulator valve spring force in which the development of gas pressure behind a diaphragm controlling the step opening operation is limited by a flow-restricting orifice. The flow restricting orifice initially provides a low gas pressure and, within a constant and relatively short time interval thereafter, an increased gas pressure to the step opening diaphragm, to provide an initial partial and subsequent full opening of the main gas valve.
