Abstract

See full text

A gas fireplace includes a gas valve, a combustor, and a gas controlling device between the gas valve and the combustor. The gas controlling device has a body, a solenoid valve, and a main controller. The body has a first port, a second port, a first passage, and a second passage, wherein the first passage and the second passage respectively connect the first port to the second port. The solenoid valve is provided in the first passage to be controlled to open and close the first passage. The main controller alternately turns the solenoid valve on and off so as to repeatedly open and close the first passage. Therefore, the gas controlling device provides a variable gas flow to the combustor to reduce the total gas consumption and the user will not be aware of the change of the flames.
