ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a method and apparatus for changing fuels used in a heating system without substantially recycling the heating system where a main flame burns fuel supplied to the heating system. A fuel changeover signal is received from a fuel selector. Flow of a first fuel to the heating system is regulated in response to the fuel changeover signal to achieve a low fire state in the heating system. A pilot flame is established in the heating system and flow of the first fuel is shut off. A fuel indicator signal is received from the fuel selector indicating a desired fuel. The main flame in the heating system which is burning the first fuel is extinguished. The pilot flame is monitored for stability and the main flame is re-established in the heating system burning the desired fuel in response to the fuel indicator signal.
