Low Voltage Power Supply For Spark Igniter And Flame Sense

View page
US Patent:
7944678, May 17, 2011
Filed:
Sep 11, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/208856
Inventors:
Yelena N. Kaplan - Columbus OH, US
Dale Thomas Rodda - Marysville OH, US
Assignee:
Robertshaw Controls Company - Carol Stream IL
International Classification:
F23Q 3/00
US Classification:
361253, 361256, 361263
Abstract:
A low voltage power supply circuit for intermittent pilot and/or direct spark ignition systems utilized in gas burning appliances is provided. The circuit utilizes a single transformer and a resonant circuit to supply power to both a flame sense circuit as well as the spark generation circuit. The resonant circuit allows the use of low power sources such as batteries or self-supplied voltage systems such as thermopiles or hydro generators. Recognizing that power draw from the low power source is high during a sparking event and recharging of a sparking capacitor, the flame sensing is suspended during the sparking event and for a short recharge time thereafter.

Universal Defrost Timer

View page
US Patent:
20060230768, Oct 19, 2006
Filed:
Apr 13, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/403427
Inventors:
Terry Huber - Lewisburg OH, US
Dale Rodda - Marysville OH, US
John Hesch - Grove City OH, US
Timothy Rager - Dublin OH, US
Assignee:
Ranco Incorporated of Delaware - Wilmington DE
International Classification:
F25D 21/06
G05D 23/32
F25B 49/00
US Classification:
062126000, 062151000, 062157000
Abstract:
An electronic universal defrost timer (UDT) utilizes an electronic microprocessor controlled timer that is capable of operating over a supply voltage range of 120 Volt AC to 240 Volt AC (nominal) with no customer configuration or moving of wires, jumpers, etc. is provided. The UDT provides the ability for a user to initiate a non-scheduled defrost interval at any time. Further, the UDT provides diagnostic capability to indicate miswiring or an internal fault during detected failure conditions. The UDT provides variable defrost duration times for each scheduled defrost period. The setting and indication of these defrost intervals are provided on an LCD display styled to resemble current mechanical dial faces with customer installed trippers. The UDT also resumes operation at the correct time after a power outage without requiring a user to reset the timing mechanism.

Wide Input Voltage Range Relay Drive Circuit For Universal Defrost Timer

View page
US Patent:
20060232907, Oct 19, 2006
Filed:
Apr 13, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/403426
Inventors:
Terry Huber - Lewisburg OH, US
Dale Rodda - Marysville OH, US
Assignee:
Ranco Incorporated of Delaware - Wilmington DE
International Classification:
H01H 47/00
US Classification:
361160000
Abstract:
A wide input voltage range relay drive circuit allowing a more than 2:1 input voltage variation is provided. The circuit utilizes a scaled and rectified bulk voltage to drive the relay coil. As the monitored bulk voltage increases beyond the relay coil rated voltage, the circuit pulse width multiplexes this bulk voltage to protect the relay coil. The bulk voltage switching does not begin, however, until the relay energizes. To reduce the power dissipation during the PWM switching, of the relay coil, a power dissipating switch is included and held on during the PWM switching events. To further increase relay life, the circuit controls the energizing of the relay coil to actuate the contacts of the relay at or near a zero cross of the power switched thereby.

Redundant Ignition Control Circuit And Method

View page
US Patent:
20100075264, Mar 25, 2010
Filed:
Sep 22, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/234765
Inventors:
Yelena N. Kaplan - Columbus OH, US
Dale Thomas Rodda - Marysville OH, US
Assignee:
ROBERTSHAW CONTROLS COMPANY - Carol Stream IL
International Classification:
F23Q 9/08
US Classification:
431 42
Abstract:
A redundant ignition control system and method for gas burning appliances is provided. The system utilizes a main processor and a supervisory processor to provide the redundant, fail safe operation of both the pilot valve and the main gas valve of the appliance. Three switching elements under the control of the two processors, as well as the use of high pass filters to block DC from the gas control valves provide redundant, fail safe operation. The use of variable duty cycle or frequency pulse width modulated signals enables use in low power applications and ensures system safety. Inclusion of a gas valve verification sequence, ignition sequence, burner monitoring sequence, and heat shutdown and standby sequences ensures safe, low power operation during normal control, and fail safe operation upon the failure of any component of the system.
