Abstract
A CO sensor is mounted on the heat exchanger of a gas water heater (or other combustion unit) and is connected in circuit with a detecting unit mounted separately from the heater. The detecting unit generates a control voltage in opposition to a reference voltage on a solenoid. The solenoid controls a valve in a fuel supply passage to a burner (or burners) in the heater, thereby shutting off the burners when the CO concentration reaches a predetermined value. A timing circuit may be added to cut off the burners whenever a lesser CO concentration continues for a predetermined time period.
