Introduction
Figure 1: UL Listed GS Series Single-block
Multi-function Control Valves
The UL Listed GS Series single-block multi-function gas control valves
are intended for use on atmospheric and forced-draft gas burners in heating
installations. This multi-functional control on a single-block valve body
provides a compact answer to gas train applications. The GS valve
replaces multiple gas train components, such as on/off gas valves, gas
pressure regulators, and modulating gas valves. Optional sizing of body
flanges offers greater adaptation to diversified burner designs and
applications. Valves are approved to North American and European gas
valve standards, including UL 429.
Typical applications include boilers, burners and ovens, rooftop units,
makeup air heaters, hot water heaters, kilns, and paint booths.

To set the start gas position, energize the solenoid coil to open the valve
seats. Remove the pressure tap plug (see Figure 8) located below the gas
outlet pipe connection and measure the start gas pressure. The PST
adjustment scale indicates the factory-set start gas pressure (see Figure 9);
therefore, a subsequent fine adjustment may be necessary. Use the
hexagonal tool provided (or an acceptable Allen wrench) to adjust the PST
scale and obtain the desired start gas pressure.

The start gas pressure (PST) remains at the set level until the pressure tap
plug is replaced and tightened. The pressure then rises to the setpoint (PG).
IMPORTANT: PGmust be greater then PST in order for the valve to
operate properly.
Once the desired start gas pressure has been obtained, the outlet pressure
(PG) can be adjusted. For outlet pressure position adjustment, energize the
solenoid coil to open the valve seats. Remove an outlet pressure tap plug
from the valve body and measure the servo pressure regulator performance
and timing characteristics (see Figure 10). The PGadjustment scale
indicates the factory-set outlet pressure (see Figure 9), which can be
adjusted using the hexagonal tool provided (or an acceptable Allen
wrench) to obtain the desired servo pressure regulator performance and
timing characteristics.

Cycle the valve three times to check for proper performance, leaving a
minimum time of 20 seconds between cycles to evacuate the pressure
chamber.
This valve provides mechanical modulating control of the gas outlet
pressure at a consistent ratio to the main air blower pressure. An example
of a typical installation is shown in Figure 11. The burner control responds
to a higher demand for heat by increasing the amount of air being supplied
to the burner, resulting in an increased air pressure. With the air pressure
(PA) connected to the valve, the valve seat position is controlled to achieve
the optimum outlet gas pressure according to the preset gas/air ratio.
The combustion chamber pressure (PF) can be connected to improve
combustion quality in cases where the combustion chamber pressure is
significantly higher during operation than atmospheric pressure.

The valve not only allows a gas/air ratio adjustment, but also an offset
adjustment (zero set), which allows for fine adjustment at lower ratios.
With these adjustments, the outlet valve pressure (PG) calculates to:
PG= R • PA+ Z without combustion chamber pressure PF
PG- PF= R • (PA- PF) + Z with combustion chamber pressure PF
To adjust the valve, first check the factory settings. The adjustments for
the gas/air ratio (R scale) and zero set (Z scale) are located on both sides of
the gas/air ratio control module (see Figure 12). The factory settings are:
xGas/air ratio (R): 1:2

Figure 12: Zero Set and Gas/Air Ratio Adjustments
Before starting the burner, make sure that the gas/air ratio and zero set
settings are correct for the specific appliance. If necessary, use the
hexagonal tool provided (or an acceptable Allen wrench) to adjust these
settings to the appliance manufacturer’s recommendations. If the specific
ratio settings are not available, ensure that the appliance is safe to operate
at the factory settings.
Start the burner and gradually increase the output of the valve. If the
burner does not light, check for a flame during the ignition phase. If the
flame extinguishes immediately, the system may have excess air. Check
again and adjust the gas/air ratio (R) setting if necessary.
With the burner in the maximum output position, adjust the gas/air ratio
(R scale) to meet the desired flue gas analysis readings. The ratio (R) of
gas outlet pressure (PG) to combustion air pressure (PA) is adjustable within
a range of 0.6:1 to 6:1 (see Figure 13).
Check the flue gas analyses on low and high output settings without
manipulating the adjustments. Once the readings have been checked, fine
tune (by adjusting the zero set) the settings if necessary. In cases where
combustion chamber pressure (PF) is used, connect it and repeat the gas/air
ratio (R) adjustment.

Figure 13: Analyses Chart
With the correct gas/air ratio (R) set, there may be some minor deviations
(caused by friction, etc.) at very low pressures. To allow for fine
adjustment of the valve, the zero set can be changed. The zero set adds a
constant offset to the flue gas analyses, affecting the low output figures
more significantly than the high output figures.
Zero set (Z) can be accomplished by a parallel shift of the characteristic
curve from -2 to +2 mbar (-0.8 to +0.8 in. W.C.) (see Figure 13).
Set the burner to the low fire position, perform a flue gas analysis, and
vary the outlet pressure by adjusting the Z scale until the desired flue gas
analysis readings are obtained.
If adjusting the zero set (Z) results in an unacceptable high output figure,
repeat the adjustments starting with the gas/air ratio (R) adjustment
procedure.
