- Description
- A Compact Auto Gas Control is typically a valve designed for controlling the flow of gas in appliances like boilers, furnaces, and water heaters. These valves are often used to manage the gas supply for lighting and supervising the main burner. They can be automatic, meaning they control gas flow based on pre-set parameters or signals. It is a valve just with additional safety features. It is used in a system context in conjunction with either a direct spark ignition (DSI), intermittent pilot (IP) or Hot Surface Ignition control module and associated devices to provide programmed safe light-up and supervision of the main burner of an appliance. It has an electric on off operator and a second electric on off valve. The combination gas controls perform all the functions required to safely regulate gas flow to the pilot burner and the main burner of domestic central heating equipment, warm air furnaces, back boilers and water heaters. Combination gas controls comprise a standard body to which a range of sub-assemblies are factory fitted to give various system options. This makes boiler system design much easier as technical specifications and unit dimensions are the same for all system options. Options include servo pressure regulation, throttle valve,(switchable) softlite, electrical high-low control and electrical or mechanical modulation for the complete range of control applications. The gas controls are available in line or low voltage versions. The handbook states Compact Automatic combination gas control consist of a first direct electric on/off operator for opening the safety valve of class A or class B according to EN 161 and a second electric on/off servo operator valve for opening the main valve of class B, C or class J according to EN 161.
