The valve body (18) is provided by a foil element (19), wherein the foil element (19) has an opening (20) for the fluid, wherein the foil element (19) is rotatable relative to the modulator body (14) to modulate the flow of the fluid by adjusting an overlap between the opening (20) of the valve body (18) and the flow passage (17) of the modulator body (14), and wherein the foil element (19) is positioned up-stream of the modulator body (14) such that an inlet pressure of the fluid presses the foil element (19) against the modulator body (14) thereby providing a sealing level between the foil element (19) and the modulator body (14).

An electrically controlled valve which can be operated using a programable controller. A cooperating pair of the electrically controlled valves can be used in a Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO). The electrically controlled valve has two seats, and a blade which can move between a first position contacting the first seat and a second position contacting the second seat. The blade is moved by an actuator which is controlled by a variable frequency drive (VFD). A control computer continuously monitors the operation of both valves and halts operation of the system upon detecting a fault (error). The motion of the blade is programmed such that force of impact on the seat is reduced. Once the blade is seated, a brake is engaged which maintains the stationary position while utilizing relatively low power.

The heating elements are operationally coupled to the controller and each heating element is configured to selectively couple to a respective pipe of a plumbing assembly. The controller is positioned to selectively power the heating element so that the heating element is configured to maintain water that is positioned in the respective pipe in a fluid state.

A method of protecting a single-stage furnace in a multi-zone system includes monitoring a temperature of each zone of a plurality of zones, determining if the temperature of at least one zone of the plurality of zones is less than a threshold temperature, powering on the HVAC system to satisfy a heating demand of the zone having a temperature less than the threshold temperature, monitoring an outlet temperature of the single-stage furnace, determining if the outlet temperature is greater than an outlet temperature threshold, and responsive to a determination that the outlet temperature is greater than the outlet temperature threshold, modulating a gas valve to reduce a flow of gas to the single-stage furnace.

A heat exchanger according to the present disclosure includes a plurality of tubes through which heating water flows, a housing having an interior space in which the plurality of tubes are disposed and through which a combustion gas passes, the housing including a plurality of flow passage caps connected with distal ends of the plurality of tubes to cause the heating water to flow through the flow passage caps, a temperature sensor brought into close contact with an area between two flow passage caps adjacent to each other among the plurality of flow passage caps to obtain a temperature, and a bracket coupled to the housing to bring the temperature sensor into close contact with the area between the adjacent two flow passage caps.

A removal device for removing gas bubbles and/or dirt particles from a liquid in a liquid conduit system includes a main channel for a main flow, the main channel having an entry and an exit which are configured to be connected to the conduit system; a housing which defines an inner space; at least one supply channel extending from the main channel to the inner space; at least one return channel extending from the inner space back to the main channel; and a branch flow control member positioned in the main channel.

The present invention relates to a water system with a warm water line (3) for supplying at least one first consumer (4, 4a, 4b) connected thereto with warm water and a continuous flow heater (1), in which cold water introduced into the latter is heatable, connected to said warm water line (3). In case warm water remains in the continuous flow heater, because it is only partially consumed, limescale deposit can reduce the performance and the service life of the continuous flow heater. Limescale deposit is particularly likely to happen in stagnant warm water. The present invention aims to solve aforesaid problem in that a flushing station (2) connected to said warm water line (3) is provided, by way of which stagnant water in said warm water line can be drained in a chronological sequence until the water contained in said continuous flow heater (1) is below a predetermined setpoint temperature.
