BOOSTED GAS BURNER ASSEMBLY WITH TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION AND LOW PRESSURE CUT-OFF

摘要

A gas burner assembly and a method of operating the same are provided. The gas burner assembly includes an air pump that supplies a flow of air into a boost fuel chamber for mixing with a flow of boost fuel before being combusted and directed through a plurality of boost flame ports. A temperature sensor is positioned proximate the air pump and a controller regulates the power supplied to the air pump to compensate for air pump operating characteristics based on the measured temperature. A pressure sensor may also detect a low pressure condition downstream of the air pump and shut down the fuel and air supply system accordingly.
