The invention relates to a gas valve unit, comprising a valve body surrounding an inner chamber in a sealing manner; an inlet part; at least one gas outlet in connection with the inner chamber to conduct gas via an outlet channel; a stationary disc member dividing the inner chamber; a rotating control disc member which is superimposed on a corresponding rear wall of the stationary disc member from an inner wall and mounted on a lower part which extends into the inner chamber of a control rod extending out from the body; also an elongated cavity formed in the inner wall of the control disc member and aligned to direct the gas flow to the through hole in an operational position.

A shut-off valve that has a closure orifice, a closure member to open and close a gas passage through the shut-off valve, an electromagnetic actuator including a movable assembly attached to the closure member, the closure member, and an electromagnetic filed generator magnetically associated with the movable assembly. The shut-off valve also includes a manual actuator for acting on the movable assembly, the manual actuator comprising an open position in which it is decoupled from the movable assembly, the electromagnetic actuator thus being able to act on the closure member to cause its closure.

A control valve may include a fluid inlet, a plurality of fluid outlets, and a plurality of magnets. One of the plurality of magnets controls fluid flow for each of one of the plurality of fluid outlets. One of the plurality of magnets controls fluid flow for the remaining of the plurality of magnets. When the magnet controlling fluid flow for the remaining of the plurality of magnets is energized, fluid flow is permitted to the remaining of the plurality of magnets. When the remaining of the plurality of magnets are energized, fluid flow is permitted to the respective plurality of fluid outlets.

A method and device for verifying the integrity of each operator of a gas valve including two operators disposed in succession on a passage path for the gas directed to a burner; the operator being subjected to command action by a corresponding actuator controlled by a command and control unit adapted to sense the presence of the flame in the burner, which is correlated with the gas flow rate reaching this burner. Each operator is made to close alternately, with corresponding cessation of gas feed to the burner and successive sensing of the extinguishing of the flame at the burner within a predefined time period, power to these operators being completely interrupted if it is sensed after said time period that the flame is extinguished.

According to one implementation a gas safety valve is provided that includes a reel onto which a coil is wound, the coil including a phase wire and a grounding wire. The reel has an elongated projection having first and second electrical contact areas onto which the phase wire and grounding wire are respectively arranged. The gas safety valve further includes an electromagnet having a core that is at least partially housed in an internal cavity of the reel. The safety gas valve also includes a support and a phase connector. The first electrical contact area is arranged such that it is inserted in the phase connector and the second electrical contact area is arranged such that it is inserted in the support, both electrical contact areas exerting an elastic force against the phase connector and the support, respectively, assuring the electrical connection between the phase wire and the phase connector, and between the grounding wire and the support, respectively.

A gas cock that according to some embodiments includes an electromagnetic actuator having an electrically conductive static element and an electrically conductive moving element. The gas cock has a closure element that is attached to and moves with the moving element. The gas cock has an actuator shaft that in a first position does not contact the moving element, and in a second position pushes against the moving element to cause the moving element to make contact with the static element. The static element is electrically coupled to a signal line. When the actuator shaft is in the second position the closure element is positioned to permit gas flow through the gas cock and the actuator shaft is electrically coupled with the signal line.

A system configured to generate heat when supplied with a first fuel or a second fuel can include a fuel supply line operatively connected to a fuel source. A valve assembly can be operatively connected to the fuel supply line. A main burner can be operatively connected to the valve assembly. A thermoelectric generating system can be configured to transform heat to electricity. A first pilot burner can include at least one of a first thermocouple and a first Fe-ion sensor. A second pilot burner can include at least one of a second thermocouple and a second Fe-ion sensor. A printed circuit board (PCB) can be operatively connected to the valve assembly and the first and second pilot burners. The PCB can be configured to control operation of the valve assembly based on information received from at least one of the first and second pilot burners.

A premixing apparatus has a butterfly valve provided in an air supply passage, a zero governor and a variable throttle valve interposed in a gas supply passage. A control is performed to switch a combustion capacity between at least two stages of a large-capacity stage and a small-capacity stage through change in opening degrees of the butterfly valve and the variable throttle valve. At the small-capacity time, in case the opening degree of the variable throttle valve, when regulated so that the λ becomes a predetermined value, has been changed more to the small-opening-degree side than the predetermined small-capacity opening degree, in a state in which the opening degree of the variable throttle valve has been returned to the predetermined small-capacity opening degree, the opening degree of the butterfly valve is regulated such that the λ becomes the predetermined value, and the small-capacity opening degree of the butterfly valve is renewed to the predetermined value when the λ becomes the predetermined value.

A driving device using temperature measurement, a driving method using temperature measurement and a dual-gas-source valve control system, wherein the device includes at least two thermocouple components; and a magnetic-drive assembly, wherein each thermocouple component is connected with the magnetic-drive assembly, the thermocouple components are capable of driving the magnetic-drive assembly to generate a magnetic flux according to an external temperature, and some of the thermocouple components drive the magnetic-drive assembly to generate a magnetic flux that is capable of being offset with a magnetic flux generated by the magnetic-drive assembly driven by the other of the thermocouple components.

A gas delivery apparatus has a delivery pipe that extends from a gas entrance end to a gas delivery end along which an entrance component, a pressure regulator and a flow rate regulator are present, coordinated with each other in order to supply on each occasion the desired quantity of gas to a burner of an apparatus fed with gas. or p with an air-gas mixture.
