Device for gas combustion

Abstract

A device for gas combustion, characterized in that it comprises a basic structure ( 1 ), which is formed by a solenoid valve ( 2 ), which is linked by one of its connections to the gas-supply piping ( 3 ), the other connection of solenoid valve ( 2 ) contacts a pressure regulator ( 4 ) at the end of which there is mounted a gas burner ( 5 ); the basic structure ( 1 ) further comprising a pilot gas burner ( 6 ) and a heat sensor ( 7 ), the former intended for producing a spark causing the gas supplied to gas burner ( 5 ) to ignite, whereas the latter will perform the function of a parameter for constantly measuring the rate of heat generated by the device now proposed, signaling a possible condition in which the burning of gas through the gas burner ( 5 ) has been discontinued, thus allowing the external control means ( 8 ) to discontinue the supply of the flow of gas.
