Abstract

See full text

A damper mechanism restricting combustion and exhaust air flow in response to temperature changes in a direct vent sealed combustion gas fireplace is provided. The mechanism allows the fireplace to have unrestricted air flow when the fireplace is not on and to restrict the air flow when the fireplace is on. A bi-metallic temperature responsive element is used to move a restrictor element to restrict air flow allowing maximum air displacement during cold ignition and enhancing operating efficiency when the fireplace is on.
