  • Air/gas admittance device for a combustion appliance
    Patent number: 10274195
    Abstract: An improved air/gas admittance device for a combustion appliance. The improved air/gas admittance device is configured to provide a more uniform gas and/or air flow. This may help reduce noise in pressure and/or flow sensor measurements that are used by a gas valve controller to control the air/fuel ratio to the combustion appliance, which may help improve the efficiency and/or emissions of the combustion appliance.
