Abstract

See full text

A control system for controlling a gas powered water heater includes a power system to provide electrical power, a valve control system to selectively hold a main gas valve in an open position, a valve pick system to selectively pick the main gas valve from a closed position to the open position, a safety system to prevent the valve control system from holding the main gas valve in the open position, and a controller. The controller is electrically powered by the power system and communicatively coupled to the valve control system, the valve pick system, and the safety system. The controller is configured to control operation of the main burner and the main gas valve using the valve control system, the valve pick system, and the safety system to provide water heated to substantially a set point temperature.
