Abstract (en)

In an automatic control system with double intrinsic safety protection for gas burners, a first, safety solenoid valve (1) and a second, regulation solenoid valve (2) in cascade control the supply of gas to a burner (16), detector means (51) recognize whether the voltage generated by a thermocouple (7) heated by a pilot light (19) supplied by means of the safety valve (1) is above or below a predetermined threshold value sufficient to keep the first solenoid valve (1) open, and control means (3, 50, 52, 53, 73) generate control signals (EV1, EV2) for opening the first and second solenoid valves mutually exclusively of one another, the opening of the second solenoid valve being dependent on the recognition of a thermocouple voltage above the predetermined value. <IMAGE>
