ABSORPTION GAS ARRESTOR SYSTEM

摘要

The subject application relates to a gas arrestor system(s) and/or
methodology that facilitate sensing and shutting down a gas-burning appliance
via a
circuit that can perform both functions. In particular, the system and method
can
detect specific gases and at specific concentration levels by way of a sensory-
power
circuit. The circuit performs vapor detection and provides power to various
ignition-related portions of the appliance. When gas or gas vapors are
detected in
the ambient air of the circuit and satisfy a threshold for that particular
type of
vapor, the circuit is shorted which results in a power loss to at least the
ignition--related portions of the appliance. As a result, undesirable ignition
of such vapors is
mitigated.
