A self-regenerative combustion system comprising a single burner, capable of operating both during the combustion step and the waste gas aspiration step, and a valve with four ways and three positions, capable of switching the regeneration and the on/off control (oxydizing agent end and waste gas end). The system is provided for obtaining the maximum efficiency, flexibility, minimum fuel consumption and minimum environmental impact with reduced NOx emissions.

An apparatus for heating water comprises a main burner, a pilot burner, a valve assembly with a main valve and a pilot valve having a shutter, a magnetic thermoelectric safety assembly with a thermocouple device holding the pilot valve open in the presence of a flame in the pilot burner, a button member mounted on a rod that is slidingly guided in the valve assembly and an electrical ignition member supplied via an electrical connection circuit, a switch device in the circuit being designed to be switched by means of the button member so as to close the electrical circuit when said button member is pressed in order to carry out actuation of the magnetic assembly so as to open the passage of gas through the pilot valve towards the pilot burner and to ignite the pilot flame by means of the sparks generated by the ignition member.

In an embodiment, a system includes a gas turbine controller. The gas turbine controller is configured to receive a plurality of sensor signals from a fuel composition sensor, a pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, a flow sensor, or a combination thereof, included in a gas turbine engine system. The controller is further configured to execute a gas turbine model by applying the plurality of sensor signals as input to derive a plurality of estimated gas turbine engine parameters. The controller is also configured to execute a flame holding model by applying the plurality of sensor signals and the plurality of estimated gas turbine engine parameters as input to derive a steam flow to fuel flow ratio that minimizes or eliminates flame holding in a fuel nozzle of the gas turbine engine system.

A fuel gas-operated vehicle heater includes a burner area with a combustion chamber (60) formed in a combustion chamber housing (58). The combustion chamber housing (58) includes a circumferential wall (62) defining the combustion chamber (60) in relation to a housing longitudinal axis radially outwards and a bottom area (64) axially defining the combustion chamber (60). The bottom area (64) has a fuel gas feed chamber (116) between a first bottom wall (106) defining the combustion chamber (60) and a second bottom wall (112). A fuel gas feed line (118) opens into the fuel gas feed chamber (116). A fuel gas inlet opening assembly is provided in the first bottom wall (106) for the entry of fuel gas from the fuel gas feed chamber (116) into the combustion chamber (60).

An apparatus includes a high-pressure tank, a controller, a valve, controlled by the controller, and a heater.

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.

A cooking appliance and method of operating the same utilize a variable electromechanical valve to regulate an output power level of an oven broiler gas burner for a cooking appliance. Among other benefits, in some instances broiler control during cooking may be decoupled from oven warm-up, and in some instances support may be provided for automatic and/or user controlled broiler output power levels and/or automated broil profiles.

A cooking appliance and method of operating the same utilize a multi-level valve system that regulates an output power level of a gas burner for an oven between a maximum output power level and at least one reduced output power level to selectively reduce the output power level of the gas burner during at least a portion of an oven warm-up operation, e.g., to improve burner operating characteristics during the oven warm-up operation.

A gas burner may include a burner body, a first gas orifice, a second gas orifice, a mixed outlet nozzle, an injet body, a gas supply line, a secondary gas line, and a flow sensor. The first gas orifice may be directed towards a plurality of naturally aspirated flame ports. The second gas orifice may be spaced apart from the first gas orifice. The mixed outlet nozzle may be downstream from the second gas orifice and directed towards a plurality of forced induction flame ports. The injet body may define an air passage and a mixing chamber downstream from the air passage. The gas supply line may be mounted on the injet body. The secondary gas line may extend in fluid parallel to the first gas orifice. The flow sensor may be positioned in fluid communication with the secondary gas line to detect a flow rate of gaseous fuel therethrough.

Example furnaces and methods related thereto are disclosed herein. In an embodiment, the furnace includes a burner box including at least one burner configured to combust a fuel/air mixture. In addition, the furnace includes a first blower including an inlet nozzle having an air inlet and fuel inlet. The inlet nozzle is configured such that operation of the first blower is to pull air and fuel into the inlet nozzle to produce the fuel/air mixture at a fuel/air ratio that is configured to produce flue products having less than 14 Nano-grams per Joule of nitrogen oxides when combusted. Operation of the first blower is configured to push the fuel/air mixture into the burner box. Further, the furnace includes a heat exchanger assembly fluidly coupled to the burner box through a vestibule, and a second blower configured to pull the flue products through the heat exchanger assembly.
