Abstract (en)
The present specification discloses a gas-fired appliance comprising a burner arrangement (37,39) for the combustion of gas with a valve arrangement (43) located in a gas flow line to said burner arrangement (37,39). To thus adjust the burner arrangement (37,39) a person must approach the appliance and manually adjust the valve arrangement (43). The present invention provides a receiver (51) in the appliance, the receiver (51) being adapted to control the opening and/or closing of the valve arrangement (43) in response to signals received from a transmitter (53) operable at a position remote from the appliance. Thus the burner arrangement (37,39) can be controlled at a distance. This is especially useful for the aged and infirm, particularly with regard to gas fires. The present invention also provides a valve (1) which is opened by a surge current which then reduces to a value sufficient only to hold the valve (1) open against the force of a spring (21).
