Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for monitoring the ignition of a gas appliance, whose function is controlled by a gas control valve.
  • Gas control valves for a gas heater or the like are available in a variety of designs. They are used for ignition and for the control or regulation of a gas flow flowing to a burner.
  • a method for igniting a gas stream is known.
  • an ignition control solenoid is actuated via an electrical control unit fed by a voltage source for the purpose of keeping a thermoelectric ignition safety valve shut off the gas flow.
  • an electromagnet is briefly energized with a voltage pulse, whereby an actuating rod opens the Zündtechnischsventil and thereby applies the armature of the Zündtechnischsmagneten.
  • the armature is held by the holding current coming from the voltage source until a thermocouple provides the necessary holding current after ignition of the gas flow or a defined holding time is exceeded.
  • the main valve can be opened via the drive unit. The gas flows to the main burner and is ignited via the pilot flame.
  • the gas control valve has a sensor, via which the operating state of the main burner can be detected.
  • the sensor is connected to the thermoelectric ignition safety valve such that when the operating state of the main burner changes from the "on" position to the "off” position by a signal emitted by the sensor, the thermoelectric ignition safety valve assumes its closed position.
  • WO 2005 088195 A1 discloses the preamble of claim 1. Again, there is no review of the ignition of the main burner with the disadvantages mentioned above.
  • the invention has for its object a method for monitoring the ignition of a gas appliance whose function is controlled by a gas control valve to create, in which the risk of accumulation of an increased amount of unburned gas in the combustion chamber is reduced before the ignition of the main burner. Furthermore, an immediate re-ignition attempt should be prevented. Furthermore, the gas control valve should have the simplest possible structure.
  • the embodiment shows a schematic representation of an embodiment of a gas control valve in a sectional view in the open position
  • the illustrated in the figure exemplary gas control valve is a switching and control device, which is preferably intended for installation in a gas-fired stove or the like. It enables the operation and monitoring of a burner by controlling the amount of gas flowing to the burner.
  • the burner consists in this embodiment of a pilot burner 1 and a main burner. 2
  • the gas control valve consists of a housing 3, which has a gas inlet 4, a Zündgasausgang 5 and a main gas outlet 6.
  • a gas inlet 4 a gas inlet 4
  • a Zündgasausgang 5 a Zündgasausgang 5
  • main gas outlet 6 a main gas outlet 6.
  • a remote control 8 To control an electronic control unit 7, which is located in this embodiment, together with a voltage source in a separate location-independent housing a remote control 8.
  • the interior of the housing 3 is divided by a partition 13 into different rooms.
  • a located in the partition 13 first opening 14 forms on the one hand, together with a valve disk 15, a main valve 11 and on the other hand belongs to an ignition safety valve 10.
  • the Zünd Anlagensventil 10 is influenced by a thermoelectric Zünd Anlagensmagneten 16, which is located downstream of the gas inlet 4. About the electronic control unit 7, as well as a pilot lamp exposed to the thermocouple 17 of the thermoelectric Zünd Anlagensmagnet 16 can be excited.
  • the operation of the gas control valve is as follows: After commissioning and thus made ignition of the pilot flame can be operated via the remote control 8 and the electronic control unit 7, the drive unit 20 for opening the switch 18. This will be the openings 22 and 23 released and the gas flows through the main gas outlet 6 to the main burner 2 to be ignited by the pilot flame. In a successful ignition, the flames burn with a maximum height, the sensor 21 is heated and there is a response to the electronic control unit 7. By operating the drive unit 20, the amount of gas flowing to the main burner 2 can be regulated. The switch 18 is now in the modulating area.
