A pressure regulator is described. The pressure regulator includes a diaphragm, a vent limiting component, a relief valve stem, and a main spring. The diaphragm has an inner edge that defines a main relief opening. The vent limiting component is positioned within the main relief opening and adjacent to an upper side of the diaphragm about the inner edge. The vent limiting component defines an orifice, wherein the lower side of the diaphragm is in fluid communication with the upper side of the diaphragm through the orifice. The relief valve stem is positioned adjacent to a lower side of the diaphragm about the inner edge. The main spring is configured to provide a force to the vent limiting component to removably secure the vent limiting component to the diaphragm.

A system to reduce standby losses in a hot water heater is presented. The system utilizes a dual safety relay valve between the combination gas controller and the burner. The dual safety relay valve bypasses gas to a rotary damper actuator valve to position a damper flapper valve located over/inside the flue pipe. Once the flapper valve has opened to ensure combustion, the gas is allowed to flow back to the dual safety relay valve. Some of the bypass gas may be diverted to boost the pilot or to supply a booster. The dual safety relay valve is then opened to allow the gas supply to the burner. Once the burner is turned off, bypass gas bleeds out of the rotary damper actuator valve to close the damper flapper valve to reduce standby losses through the flue pipe, and to allow the dual safety relay valve to close tightly.

A water heater control system comprising an energy storage system electrically connected to a pilot valve operator and electrically isolated from a main valve operator. The energy storage system may be electrically connected to an ignition circuit. A thermoelectric device is in thermal communication with the pilot flame and electrically connected to a main valve operator. The water heater system may include a microcontroller configured to establish electrical communications between the device and the energy storage system, the pilot valve operator, and the main valve operator. The microcontroller may be configured to recognize a call for main burner operation, and may also be configured to check an available voltage of the energy storage system against a setpoint. The microcontroller may establish pilot flame operation with or without main burner operation, depending on whether a call for heat or recharging of the energy storage system is required.

An injet for a gas burner includes a first gas orifice and a second gas orifice. An injet body defines an air passage and a gas passage. The first and second gas orifices are mounted to the injet body. A pneumatically actuated gas valve blocks a flow of gaseous fuel through the gas passage to the second gas orifice in a closed configuration. The pneumatically actuated gas valve is configured to adjust from the closed configuration to an open configuration in response to a flow of air through the air passage. A flow restriction body is disposed upstream of the pneumatically actuated gas valve. The flow restriction body defines a through hole via which air is flowable to pneumatically actuated gas valve.

Provided are embodiments of a gas valve for an intermittent pilot ignition system. The gas valve includes features designed to address the buildup of negative pressure in a fuel line connected to the gas valve that could cause internal valve diaphragms to open, drawing fuel from the gas valve. In embodiments, the gas valve includes a system of check valves designed to seal off the gas valve when a negative pressure develops. In other embodiments, the gas valve includes a relief valve having a relief port so that air is able to enter the valve proximate to the inlet port so as to avoid building a negative pressure sufficient to open the diaphragms. In both cases, the valve remains primed with fuel for subsequent ignition. The gas valve is envisioned to be useful for a variety of pilot operated systems.

The aim of the invention is to create a device for indicating the status of a gas burner, which device functions independently of the circumstances of the specific gas burner design and arrangement. This aim is achieved, according to the invention, in that the device (1), which is connected to an outlet (7a) of the gas control apparatus (4) for the gas burner (2), consists of a housing (14), which has at least two chambers connected to each other, which are separated gas-tight by a membrane (16) connected on one side to an electrically conductive component (15), wherein: the chamber A (17) is connected to the gas outlet (7a) of the gas control apparatus (4); the membrane (16), to which the gas pressure of the gas burner (2) is applied through an opening (18) in the chamber A (17) when the gas valve is open, produces a stroke; by means of the stroke, the chamber B (19), in which the side of the membrane (16) having the connected electrically conductive component (15) is positioned, closes a circuit (20) via contact elements (10) led outward and suitably (12) indicates the operating status. The device for indicating the status of a gas burner can be used in the case of gas-operated heating apparatuses having gas control apparatuses having a liquid-filled temperature controller.

A gas valve includes a valve seat, a valve stem, a valve body, and a valve diaphragm. The valve body acts together with the valve seat in such a way that the gas valve is in a closed state when the valve body is pressed against the valve seat and the gas valve is in an opened state when the valve body is lifted up from the valve seat. In a partially opened state, a connection between the valve stem and the valve body allows the valve body to tilt relative to the valve stem. The tilt may help provide more stable contact between the valve body and the valve seat when the gas valve is in the partially opened state. This can reduce wear on the gas valve by reducing, for example, valve body bounce.

An injet for a gas burner includes a first gas orifice and a second gas orifice. An injet body defines an air passage and a gas passage. The first and second gas orifices are mounted to the injet body. A pneumatically actuated gas valve blocks a flow of gaseous fuel through the gas passage to the second gas orifice in a closed configuration. The pneumatically actuated gas valve is configured to adjust from the closed configuration to an open configuration in response to a flow of air through the air passage. A flow restriction body is disposed upstream of the pneumatically actuated gas valve. The flow restriction body defines a through hole via which air is flowable to pneumatically actuated gas valve.
