Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hot water appliance operating through gas com­bustion, e.g. a gas heater or central heating apparatus, comprising a gas supply conduit towards one or more burners of the appliance, said conduit containing a membrane operated valve, the cross-section of which is controlled through a control signal and comprising a discharge conduit for the combustion gases, an air supply conduit being connected to the gas supply conduit, the gas appliance being closed from the air present in the room in which the appliance is positioned, a fan being included in the air supply conduit or in the combustion gas discharge conduit.
  • a hot water appliance operating through gas com­bustion e.g. a gas heater or central heating apparatus, comprising a gas supply conduit towards one or more burners of the appliance, said conduit containing a membrane operated valve, the cross-section of which is controlled through a control signal and comprising a discharge conduit for the combustion gases, an air supply conduit being connected to the gas supply conduit, the gas appliance being closed from the air present in the room in which the appliance is positioned, a fan being included in
  • Legal rules usually require at present that the combustion sustaining air for the burner or burners is not induced from the room in which the appliance is positioned, but directly from outside that room.
  • the appliance is provided with a fan in the air supply conduit or in the discharge conduit for the combustion gases. This fan may supply the air directly to the burner.
  • a modu­lating flame control of the burner is desirable. This means that the burner emits more or less heat per time unity in order to permit keeping the room temperature and the hot water temperature constant dependent of the out­side temperature or the required domestic water quantity respectively.
  • the invention aims at carrying out said air control together with the gas control.
  • control signal controls the number of revolutions of the fan and a control orifice is provided in the air supply conduit, both chambers of an air pressure control membrane being connected to said conduit at both sides of the orifice, the membrane being mechanically connected to the membrane of the gas pressure membrane valve.
  • the advantage thereof is that a direct coupling exists between the air and gas quantities, so that no backfeed is required and no dangerous situations may arise.
  • the hot water appliance e.g. a gas heater for heating water or a central heating apparatus or a combination appliance
  • a gas supply conduit 2 extends in sealed manner through the appliance wall towards one or more burners 3, the housing of the appliance 1 having a discharge conduit 4 for combustion gases. For the rest the housing of the appliance 1 is completely closed.
  • Gas may be supplied through a conduit 5, containing a restriction or orifice 17 and connected to the conduit 2, a gas pressure control 6 having a membrane 7 being provided in said conduit 5. Also the air supply conduit 7 is connected to the conduit 2, said air supply conduit extending from outside the wall 9 of the room.
  • a fan 10 is provided in the conduit 8 and the drive motor (not shown) of said fan is controlled by a thermostat 11 provided in the positioning room or by a hot water tap valve (not shown). Beyond the fan 10 as seen in the air flow direction, an orifice 12 or similar restriction is provided which causes the generation of a pressure difference along this restriction when the fan 10 is operating.
  • Conduits 13 and 14 respectively are connected at both sides of the orifice 12 to both sides of an air pressure control membrane 15. Said membrane 15 is connected through a connection rod 16 or different connection mechanism to the membrane 7 of the gas pressure control 6.
  • the appliance operates as follows, that, if the thermostat 11 is used, a control signal for producing heat in connection with the decreasing or too low temperature in the room, in which the temperature has to be controlled, said signal operates the fan 10 for operation with a higher or lower number of revolutions, whereby air, having a predetermined pressure is caused to flow in the direction towards the burner 3. Due to the pressure difference, which is established along the orifice 12, the air pressure membrane 15 is displaced and by means of the rod 16 also the gas pressure membrane 7 is displaced, so that gas is supplied to the conduit 5. The mixture of air and gas further flows in the conduit 2 to­wards the burners. The area of the membrane is computed such that therewith, also with modulating gas pressure control, always a correct combustion ratio is obtained.
  • the thermostat 11 issues a control signal for more heat when the fan 10 is rotating already and the burners 3 are burning, e.g. if the thermostat is adjusted to a higher value. In that case the number of revolutions of the fan 10 is increased, whereby also an increased pressure difference along the orifice 12 is established and the gas supply is adapted to the increased air supply.
