TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a burner control system for improving burner performance and efficiency, where a sensor connected across the air and fuel channels is used to determine fuel and air channel or manifold parameters, and a signal from the sensor may control the parameters which in turn affect the amounts of fuel or air to the burner via a controller.
Patent
Visual indicator for a safety shut off valve
TL;DR: A valve assembly may have a visual valve position indication mechanism that is non-invasive relative to the body of the valve containing the fluid whose flow is controlled by the valve assembly.
Patent
Gas valve with valve leakage test
TL;DR: In this article, a valve leakage test is performed on a valve assembly including a valve body with a first valve and a second valve, where the valves may be positioned across a fluid path in the valve body and an intermediate volume between the valves.
Patent
Gas valve with electronic valve proving system
TL;DR: In this paper, a valve assembly may be configured to perform a valve proving test as part of an operational cycle of a combustion appliance coupled to the valve assembly, and the valve controller may then output a signal if the measure related to a pressure change rate in the intermediate volume meets and/or exceeds a threshold value.
Patent
Gas valve with communication link
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a valve assembly with an inlet port, an outlet port, and a fluid path extending between the inlet and outlet ports, one or more valve actuators for selectively moving respective valves, and sensors for sensing the parameters within the fluid path and a controller secured relative to the valve body and in communication with the sensors.
