Abstract

See full text

A method and device for verifying the integrity of each operator of a gas valve including two operators disposed in succession on a passage path for the gas directed to a burner; the operator being subjected to command action by a corresponding actuator controlled by a command and control unit adapted to sense the presence of the flame in the burner, which is correlated with the gas flow rate reaching this burner. Each operator is made to close alternately, with corresponding cessation of gas feed to the burner and successive sensing of the extinguishing of the flame at the burner within a predefined time period, power to these operators being completely interrupted if it is sensed after said time period that the flame is extinguished.
