Overview of the gas control system
All components required for gas treatment and regulation with the legally required approvals
(European standard, in some cases DVGW)
01.
Shut-off ball valve
For isolating the gas control line from the supply.
02.
Solenoid shut-off valve
For gas separation, e.g. triggered by a gas detector.
03.
Manually operated quick-closing valve
For quick and safe closing with minimized pressure loss when open.
Remote monitoring is possible; the closing process is faster and safer than with conventional ball valves.
04.
Pressure gauge
The pressure gauges are installed to monitor the upstream and downstream pressure.
A shut-off valve is connected upstream of each pressure gauge to allow easy replacement of the pressure gauges in the event of a fault.
05.
Gas filter
protects the rest of the system from dirt or dust that is carried along with the gas flow.
Deposits can, for example, consist of parts that were accidentally left in the pipe during construction.
06.
Safety shut-off valve/overpressure shut-off valve
is installed after the filter and before the pressure regulator.
The overpressure shut-off valve closes the gas supply if the downstream pressure exceeds a specified limit value.
07.
Gas regulator
is a control valve that reduces the inlet pressure of a fluid at its outlet to a desired value.
08.
Pressure gauge
The pressure gauges are installed to monitor the upstream and downstream pressure.
A shut-off valve is connected upstream of each pressure gauge to allow easy replacement of the pressure gauges in the event of a fault.
09.
Safety blow-off valve
is set to a higher pressure than the overpressure shut-off valve so that the safety blow-off valve operates when the overpressure shut-off valve is not working.
10.
Pressure switches
are intended for switching a circuit on and off or switching it over when the actual pressure value changes depending on the pressure setpoint.
11.
Solenoid valve
are intended for securing and controlling the air and gas supply to gas burners and gas appliances.
01.
Shut-off ball valve

02.
Solenoid shut-off valve
For gas separation, e.g. triggered by a gas detector.
03.
Manually operated quick-closing valve
For fast and safe closing with minimized pressure loss when open. Remote monitoring is possible. The closing process is faster and safer than with conventional ball valves.

Gas pressure regulator
Spring-loaded regulators are designed and built according to DIN EN 88 Class A – Group 2 specifications.
They can be used for all types of natural gas, LPG or non-corrosive gases.
These regulators are often used in supply lines for mixing and combination burners and in the pipeline distribution of methane gas and LPG in industrial and non-industrial applications.
Not suitable for corrosive gases.
Spring-loaded regulators operate automatically with a balanced piston and double safety diaphragm.
The double diaphragm allows the device to be used in the switch cabinet without connecting an external pipe vent.
(Point 3.3.2 of the EN 88 standard).
All regulators have an internal measuring line and a test point for the inlet and outlet pressure.

Gas meter
Quantometers were developed to provide a reliable and cost-effective measuring device (non-fiscal) with similar features to the turbine meter.
They are maintenance-free and can be connected to external devices.
The gas flow meter evaluates the ratio between the incoming gas and the wheel speed.
The rotational speed is proportional to the operating volume flowed through.
The rotary movement activates the measuring unit on the top of the quantometer via a mechanical/magnetic coupling, which reports the gas volume during operation.
The quantometers are CE and PED 2014/68/EU certified.
Solenoid valves
Automatic gas solenoid valves are used for the safety and control of gases for shutting off in gas supply lines.
Suitable for various gases including natural gas, propane and LPG gas.

Valve testing system
MTC10 is a device for checking the tightness of the two automatic valves before each start-up of the burner or after each shutdown.
Whenever a leak is detected at one of the gas valves, MTC10 prevents the burner from starting.
MTC10 is manufactured in accordance with the EN746-2 standard, which states that the installation of a leakage test is mandatory in installations with a capacity of over 1200 kW.
This device can be used on industrial and domestic gas burners with or without a vent pipe.
CE certified according to EN1643.
Conformity to Directive 2009/142/CE (Gas Directive), Directive 2004/108/CE (EMC) and Directive 94/9/CE (ATEX Directive).
Burner control (EFC series)
The burner control units in the EFC series have been developed to detect a flame in single or two-stage industrial gas burners with intermittent operation.
The status of the burner is clearly indicated by the various LED lights on the front panel.
The EFC can be supplied with an internal ignition transformer and can also control one or two solenoid valves.
Flame detection can be via a single rod, two rods or a UV cell.
Remote control of the burner control is also possible.
The EFC series is supplied in a fireproof thermoplastic housing that allows installation next to the burner.
It is also available in a rack version for panel applications.
The EFC burner control unit is manufactured in accordance with EC Directive 90/396/EEC and EN298 standards.

The standard version is equipped with a double scale in mbar and in H2O mm.
A shut-off valve is connected upstream of each pressure gauge to allow easy replacement of the pressure gauges in the event of a fault.
Pressure switch
Pressure switches and differential pressure switches are suitable for use in combustion systems for detecting the pressure of gases of the first, second and third gas family and air.
They are normally used on the most common combustion systems such as ovens, boilers, dryers and compact burners.
