Patent number: 4254796Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 1979Date of Patent: March 10, 1981Assignee: Robertshaw Controls CompanyInventor: Samuel T.
