Patent number: 9587836Abstract: For operating a gas hob having at least two gas burners which can be operated separately and which each have a nozzle, a dedicated gas valve for adjusting a gas supply to the gas burner is associated with each gas burner. The nozzle of a gas burner has an opening cross-section which is 10% to 30% larger than the opening cross-section which is required for the rated power of the gas burner. During normal operation of the gas burner, the associated gas valve is adjusted to a rated throughput. During operation of the gas burner under excess power with full utilization of the full opening cross-section of the nozzle, the gas valve is opened further and adjusted to an excess power throughput.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2014Date of Patent: March 7, 2017Assignee: E.G.O. Elektro-Geraetebau GmbHInventors: Klaus Walter Begero, Norbert Gaertner

Publication number: 20110294078Abstract: With a method for controlling a gas burner, the latter is supplied with gas by an electronically controllable gas valve, wherein it is supplied with gas by the gas valve in a low power range and in a high power range. Only one of the power ranges is available at any point in time, wherein in each of the power ranges a power from a minimum power to a maximum power can be preset at the gas burner using an operating element. The low power range and the high power range differ here by more than 50%.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2011Publication date: December 1, 2011Applicant: E.G.O.
