Gas valve with overpressure diagnostics

A gas valve assembly may include a valve body with one or more valves movable between an opened position and a closed position, one or more valve actuators configured to operate the valves, and one or more pressure sensors to sense a pressure within a fluid path of the valve assembly. A valve controller may receive a measure related to a sensed pressure from the one or more pressure sensor(s). The valve controller may compare the received measure related to the sensed pressure to an overpressure threshold. In the event the measure related to the sensed pressure surpasses the overpressure threshold value, the valve controller may be configured to provide a signal that indicates an overpressure event has occurred.

A heat exchange flue, having a top flue gas chamber (1), a bottom flue gas chamber (10) and a heat exchange section (H) located therebetween. The heat exchange section (H) comprises a heat exchange tube bundle (4) located in the middle, and a left side flue (5) and a right side flue (12) which are located at two sides of the heat exchange tube bundle (4). The axis of the heat exchange tube bundle (4) is positioned in a vertical plane extending substantially forward and backward, allowing the flue gas to laterally flush against the surfaces of heat exchange tubes. The left and right side flues (5, 12) are in a vertical box shape, the flues are each provided with a plurality of flue gas dampers (3) which are vertically arranged at intervals in a substantially horizontal alignment. Each of the flue gas dampers (3) is provided with a flue gas damper frame (13) for defining a flue gas port (2) and a flue gas port opening/closing device capable of selectively opening and closing the flue gas port (2). The flue gas damper frames (13) are hollow out and horizontally arranged, and have an outer contour consistent with the sectional shape of the left and right side flues (5, 12), the peripheral edges thereof are respectively connected to a peripheral flue gas wall in an airtight manner, and the parts thereof corresponding to the heat exchange tube bundle (4) are connected to a substantially horizontal flue gas shield plate (6) in an airtight manner. The flue structure can adjust the working load to the greatest extent to ensure the flue gas temperature and prevent condensation.

Gas valve with overpressure diagnostics

This disclosure relates generally to valves, and more particularly, to gas valve assemblies. In one example, a gas valve assembly may include a valve body with one or more valves movable between an opened position and a closed position, one or more valve actuators configured to operate the valves, and one or more pressure sensors to sense a pressure within a fluid path of the valve assembly. A valve controller may receive a measure related to a sensed pressure from the one or more pressure sensor(s). The valve controller may compare the received measure related to the sensed pressure to an overpressure threshold. In the event the measure related to the sensed pressure surpasses the overpressure threshold value, the valve controller may be configured to provide a signal that indicates an overpressure event has occurred.

Disclosed is a staged-air burner device capable of high energy efficiency, high flame stability, combusting multiple readily switchable fuels ranging from pure hydrogen, to any hydrogen/methane mixture, to pure methane, and generating a low level of NOx. The burner device can include: a primary air chamber receiving a primary air and a flue gas; a burner tube capable of receiving a fuel jet and drawing in the air-flue gas mixture from the primary air chamber; a burner tip discharging the fuel-air-flue gas mixture formed in the burner tube to a first combustion zone and a second combustion zone via center orifices and side orifices on the burner tip, respectively; and a staged air chamber receiving staged air and discharging it via staged air ports into a third combustion zone. Combustion of the fuel occurs in at least one of the first, second, and third combustion zones.
