Systems For Regulating Voltage To An Electrical Resistance Igniter

View page
US Patent:
7671305, Mar 2, 2010
Filed:
Jun 19, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/471271
Inventors:
Thomas A. Chodacki - Stow MA, US
Kevin C. Solofra - Uxbridge MA, US
James M. Ralson - Naperville IL, US
Assignee:
Saint-Gobain Ceramics & Plastics, Inc. - Worcester MA
International Classification:
H05B 1/02
US Classification:
219497, 219263, 219260, 219501, 431 66, 361264
Abstract:
Systems and methods for energizing an electrical resistance igniter are disclosed. The systems and methods determine the line voltage into the system and control the voltage being applied to the electrical resistance igniters so a first voltage is applied initially and for a time period and thereafter a second voltage is applied, the second voltage being the operating voltage for the igniter. The systems and methods decrease the amount of time required to heat-up the electrical resistance igniter to a temperature sufficient to ignite the gas while regulating the output voltage being delivered to the igniters to prevent over voltage damage to the igniters.

Igniter Shields

US Patent:
7786409, Aug 31, 2010
Filed:
Feb 3, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/347675
Inventors:
Scott M. Hamel - Wilton NH, US
Thomas A. Chodacki - Stow MA, US
Assignee:
Saint-Gobain Ceramics & Plastics, Inc. - Worcester MA
International Classification:
F23Q 7/22
F23Q 7/00
US Classification:
219267, 219260
Abstract:
New igniter systems are provided that comprise a ceramic igniter element and an affixed encasing shield element. The shield element may be engaged or affixed to the igniter element in a variety of configurations, including by direct attachment to the igniter element or through another structure interposed between the igniter and shield elements. In preferred systems, a proximal end of an igniter element may be engaged in a mounting structure and a shield element that encases the igniter element is affixed to the mounting structure.

System, Apparatus And Method For Controlling Ignition Including Re-Ignition Of Gas And Gas Fired Appliances Using Same

View page
US Patent:
20040209209, Oct 21, 2004
Filed:
Nov 3, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/700339
Inventors:
Thomas Chodacki - Stow MA, US
Kevin Solofra - Weare NH, US
James Ralson - Naperville IL, US
International Classification:
F23N005/00
US Classification:
431/066000
Abstract:
Featured is a gas control device being configured and arranged so as to control operation of a hot surface igniter so it is warmed-up to ignition temperatures of a gas when a call for heat is made and, following ignition, to control operation of the igniter so it is capable of rapidly re-igniting the gas without having to continuously maintain the igniter at or above gas ignition temperatures. More particularly, the gas control device includes circuitry that controls energization of the igniter for ignition of the gas and, after ignition of the gas is determined to have occurred, controls energization of the igniter so that the igniter can be warmed up to ignition temperature conditions within desired re-ignition time periods. Also featured are systems and apparatuses embodying such control devices as well as methods related thereto.

US Patent:
20100108658, May 6, 2010
Filed:
Oct 19, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/589253
Inventors:
Thomas A. Chodacki - Stow MA, US
Randolph Adams - Francestown NH, US
Assignee:
Saint-Gobain Corporation - Worcester MA
International Classification:
F23Q 7/22
US Classification:
219262, 219268
Abstract:
Systems and methods for energizing a low voltage electrical resistance igniter are disclosed. The systems and methods determine the line voltage into the system and control the voltage being applied to the electrical resistance igniters so a first regulated voltage is applied initially and for a time period and thereafter a second regulated voltage is applied, the second voltage being the operating voltage for the igniter. The systems and methods decrease the amount of time required to heat-up the low voltage electrical resistance igniter to a temperature sufficient to ignite a fuel-air mixture while regulating the output voltage being delivered to the igniters to prevent over voltage damage to the igniters.

13/092839
Inventors:
Thomas A. Chodacki - Stow MA, US
International Classification:
G05B 21/00
US Classification:
700274
Abstract:
Featured is an ignition system using miniaturized hot surface igniters of various types, configurations, and material systems. The ignition system includes an electronic microprocessor on which a software program is executed so as to control the operation of an igniter and all functions of the ignition system. The software program evaluates performance characteristics relating to operation of the igniter. Additionally, the software program determines operation parameters and characteristics for energizing the igniter when it determines that the operation parameters and characteristics for energizing should be updated or revised.
