摘要:
In the system described for connecting a valve unit for gas water-heaters to a tank of the water-heater, a probe belonging to the valve unit is housed in the tank in a leaktight manner. The system comprises a first element belonging to the valve unit and/or fixed thereto, a second element which projects from the tank and can be housed in a seat of the first element, the second element constituting a support and/or cover for the probe and having an outer surface in which there is a transverse groove, and a third element which is restrained axially on the first element and at least a portion of which extends in the seat in an arrangement such as to engage the groove when the second element is housed in the seat so as to clamp the first and second elements to one another axially, the third element being resiliently deformable between a first position in which the said portion projects into the seat and a second position in which the said portion is outside the seat in order to release the groove.

A multichamber gas control valve modulates and controls the flow of gas to the burner of an instantaneous water heater. Flow of gas from an inlet chamber to a first chamber of the valve is controlled by a thermostatic valve and gas flow from the first to a second chamber is controlled by a temperature controller. Gas flow from the second chamber to an outlet chamber is controlled by a spring biased valve actuated by a diaphragm actuator operated in response to flow of water through a venturi in the water supply of the heater. The several chambers are in a common valve body closed by a removable cover to provide easy access to the components of the assembly.

A stand-alone gas-fired smoker constitutes a cabinet for holding food products to be cooked. A gas burner in the bottom of the cabinet is connected to a source of flammable gas by means of a variable gas valve. The gas burner heats the cabinet and thereby cooks the food products. An oil filled temperature sensing bulb is connected by means of a capillary tube to the variable gas valve in order to modulate the gas delivered through the variable gas valve to the gas burner and thereby modulate the temperature within the cabinet. A safety/ignition valve is connected between of the gas source and the variable gas valve. The safety/ignition valve is connected to a flame sensor, and the safety/ignition valve closes if the flame sensor senses that the gas burner has been extinguished.

A cooking assembly has a main burner, a pilot burner mounted in it and having a vent, a gas valve having separate main and pilot gas outlets, and a main-burner controller including a temperature sensor on the main burner, a control unit on the valve capable of varying gas output from the main gas outlet, and a capillary tube connected between the sensor and the control unit. This controller can vary gas flow from the main outlet in accordance with the temperature of the main burner as sensed by the sensor. An electrical igniter on the main burner can be energized by a switch on the valve. A pilot-burner controller connected to the switch includes a thermoelectric sensor in the pilot vent and blocks gas output from the gas outlets when insufficient heat is detected by its sensor and the switch is not closed. When a control knob on the valve is in a closed position no gas is supplied from the outlets to the burners, in a first open position gas is supplied only from the pilot outlet to the pilot burner, in a second open position gas is supplied from both outlets to both burners while closing the switch, and in a third open position gas is also supplied from both outlets to both burners without closing the switch and while controlling the rate of gas flow from the main outlet to the main burner in accordance with the temperature detected by the capillary sensor.
