A system having a pre-mix burner manifold in a housing that may permit air to be drawn through slots in the housing to flow over an external surface of the manifold. The flow of air may maintain a temperature of the manifold lower than a temperature that the manifold might have without the flow. The manifold may be attached to a burner and heat exchanger.

A single magnetic coil floating plunger redundant gas valves is disclosed. In an illustrative embodiment, the valve may include a first plunger tube, a second plunger tube spaced a distance from the first plunger tube, a magnetic coil disposed about at least part of the first plunger tube, a first plunger disposed within the first plunger tube, and a second plunger disposed within the second plunger tube. The first and second plungers may be operatively coupled to first and second valve members. Activation of the magnetic coil may result in the first and second plungers being suspended in the plunger tubes without a hard mechanical plunger stop to selectively open corresponding valves or other actuatable components, as desired.

Remote sensor temperature controller

A method and apparatus for protecting humidity sensing equipment within an enclosure that can be mounted in the return airflow of a furnace duct. The humidity sensing equipment is mounted on a printed wiring board, which is protected between a mounting base and an operational cover. The mounting base includes a protective shield which allows the humidity sensing equipment to protrude into the furnace duct and prevents damage to the humidity sensing equipment during installation.
