Title: Uwe Deptolla: Gas Burner Control and Flame Monitoring Innovations.

Introduction

Uwe Deptolla is an inventor associated with Lotte, Germany, and Pittway Sarl. His listed work focuses on gas burner operation, combustion control, and flame monitoring. The supplied data credits him with 2 patents.

Latest Patents

One patent, “Method and Controller for Operating a Gas Burner Appliance,” describes controlling the gas-and-air mixture across the appliance’s modulation range. A controller uses a sensor signal to adjust an electric or electronic gas-flow modulator, helping maintain the defined mixture ratio as heat demand changes. When demand ends, the method reduces fan speed while maintaining that ratio, adjusts the gas-flow modulator, and then terminates the burner-on phase to prepare for a subsequent start.

Another patent, “Flame Monitoring Device for a Gas Burner Appliance and Gas Burner Appliance,” concerns detecting whether a flame is present. Its flame-supervision device provides a voltage signal that depends on flame presence, and an electronic circuit converts that signal into an electrical current signal.

Career Highlights

The listed patents reflect work on two complementary aspects of gas burner technology: regulating combustion during operation and monitoring the flame. Both inventions address control and supervision functions in gas burner appliances.

Collaborations

The supplied information identifies Pittway Sarl as Deptolla’s company and Piet Blaauwwiekel as a coworker. It does not specify the nature of their collaboration.

Conclusion

Uwe Deptolla’s listed inventions focus on practical control and flame-monitoring systems for gas burner appliances, with an emphasis on managing combustion conditions and detecting flame presence.
