A temperature increase causes the brass tube to expand and move to the left. The invar rod also moves with it and causes the valve to partially close. This reduces the gas inflow. A decrease in temperature causes the brass tube to contract and move the valve forward. The movement opens the entrance and increases the flow of gas to the burners
