1. A system for controlling a gas burning appliance comprising:
a central control unit conductively and communicatively coupled with a power source, wherein the central control unit accepts electrical current from the power source, and wherein the central control unit is configured for:
a. receiving a signal for a call for heat;b. transmitting a signal to a power source to provide electrical current to a spark generator;c. transmitting a signal to a power source to provide electrical current to a pilot valve control device;d. reading flame senor data from a flame sensor adapted for monitoring a presence of a pilot flame for determining if a pilot flame is present;e. transmitting a signal to a power source to provide electrical current to a main valve control device;f. receiving a signal from a thermopile to determine if said thermopile is generating an output voltage over a predetermined value;g. transmitting a signal to a relay to route electrical current to a pilot valve control device and a main valve control device between electrical current generated from a power source and electrical current generated by a thermopile; a pilot valve configured for controlling a flow of fuel from a fuel source to the pilot, wherein the pilot valve is controlled by a pilot valve control device conductively coupled to and configured for accepting an electrical current from a thermopile and from a power source; a main valve configured for controlling a flow of fuel from the fuel source to a main burner, wherein the main burner is controlled by a main valve control device conductively coupled to and configured for accepting an electrical current from a thermopile and from a power source; a spark generator conductively coupled to the central control unit and to the battery power source, wherein the spark generator is adapted for generating at least one spark, wherein the spark is generated proximate to the pilot burner, and wherein the spark is adapted for igniting fuel received by the pilot thereby generating a pilot flame; a flame sensor conductively coupled to the central control unit, wherein the flame senor is positioned proximate to a gap, wherein the gap is proximate to the pilot and adapted to receive a pilot flame generated by the pilot, wherein the senor is adapted for monitoring the presence of a pilot flame and generating corresponding flame sensor data, and wherein the flame sensor is adapted for sending a signal associated with the flame sensor data to the central control unit; a thermopile proximate to the pilot burner and conductively coupled to the central control unit, pilot valve control device and main valve control device, wherein the thermopile is configured for generating an output electrical current converted from thermal energy received from the pilot flame, and wherein the thermopile output electrical current is adapted for being received by the pilot and main valve control devices; at least one relay conductively coupled with the central control unit, power source, and thermopile, wherein the at least one relay is configured for routing electrical current between the power source and thermopile to the pilot and main valve control devices; and, a flame height regulating device conductively coupled with the power source, wherein the flame height regulating device accepts electrical current from the power source, wherein the flame height regulating device is positioned proximate to the main valve, and wherein the flame height regulating device is configured for adjusting a height of a main flame. |
