Thermal safety shut-off valve
According to paragraph 4, sect. 5 of the
FeuVo '96 [Germany], thermal shut-off
equipment must be installed in
combustion equipment or in gas supply
lines immediately upstream of the
combustion equipment, which will
shut-off the gas supply, when the external
temperature exceeds 100 ºC. These
valves must isolate the gas supply for at
least 30 minutes up to a temperature of
650 ºC. This should prevent the formation
of explosive gas mixtures in the event of
fires.
The gas shut-off valves supplied with the
Vitodens are equipped with integral
thermal safety shut-off valves.
