Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fuel burner control system capable of controlling the supply of air and fuel to a burner, and to a combustion process control system including such a fuel burner control system.
  • the quantity of air and fuel supplied to a fuel burner should be controlled in such a manner that the fuel is burned completely without having a significant quantity of excess air.
  • the supply of too little air results in incomplete combustion and the waste.of fuel whilst the supply of too much air results in the absorption of some heat by the excess air.
  • the ratio of the quantity of the fuel supplied to the burner to the quantity of air supplied to the burner should be constant at a value which provides just enough oxygen for complete combustion to take place.
  • the ratio of the extent of opening of the fuel valve to the extent of opening of the air valve to provide a constant fuel : air ratio is not constant over the heat supply range of the burner.
  • Burner control systems are known to employ mechanically linked air and fuel supply valves in order to achieve the desired constant fuel: air ratio over the heat range of the burner but, in general, adjustment by mechanical linkage achieves efficient combustion of fuel over a small part only of the burner heat supply range.
  • burner control systems are known to employ computers for controlling air and fuel supply valves, a computer linked to a heat demand control and a flue gas sensor, or flue gas sensors, being programmed to effect adjustment of the valves to provide the desired heat demand - at a programmed signal from the flue gas sensor or programmed signals from the flue gas sensors.
  • burner control systems are known to employ computers for commissioning, during which the air and fuel supply valves are set by means of a computer in accordance with heat demand inputs and programmed flue gas sensor signals, and the valve settings at respective heat demand inputs stored by the computer.
  • the stored ddta on valve settings is later transferred from the computer to a resident memory belonging to the burner control system.
  • the present invention provides a burner control system capable of achieving significant improvements in performance over known mechanically linked systems at costs significantly below those associated with fully automatic computerised systems, or computer assisted commissioning systems.
  • a control system for a fuel burner has a commissioning mode and a run mode and comprises a fuel valve and an air valve, a memory holding values of air valve and fuel valve settings and a processor operable, in the run mode, to provide, from the memory and in response to each of a plurality of input signal values representing values of a first variable, respective values for air valve and fuel valve settings wherein the processor is operable, in the commissioning mode, to effect entry into the memory of the said values of air valve and fuel valve settings and wherein each of those values is derived from an operator selection of the settings of at least one of the valves.
  • the present invention also provides a-fuel burner control system, including a memory and processor means, operable in a commissioning mode under the control of the processor means, in cooperation with operator controlled means, to effect the generation of output values for setting a fuel valve and an air valve and to effect the entry of values for fuel valve settings and corresponding air valve settings into the memory, and operable in a run mode to provide, in response to each of a plurality of input signal values representative of respective values of a first variable, the appropriate stored values for fuel valve and air valve settings.
  • control systems in accordance with the present invention flexibility in the complex relationship between the valve settings is achieved by the use of a memory for storing valve setting values, and simplicity in commissioning is achieved by providing for operator involvement in the commissioning operation.
  • an operator using flue gas analysis equipment is involved in the commissioning node to ensure that the valve setting values used at each heat demand input result in ideal, or very close to ideal, combustion conditions, the processor being operative during the commissioning phase to permit control of the valves, by way of operator controls,, and the entry of valve setting data into a memory on command from the operator.
  • the result is a highly accurate control system at a cost well below that of systems employing automatic control or automatic commissioning.
  • the processor is capable of determining a setting value for one valve for each value of the first variable, and is arranged to select increasing setting values for the valve with increasing values of the first variable over a limited range of values of the first variable, and outside the limited range, to select a fixed setting value for the valve, and preferably, the limited range of values of the first variable lies between five and twenty percent of the possible range of the first variable.
  • the processor may include means for adjusting the limits of the limited range of values of the first variable.
  • the memory is so organised that the address of each fuel valve setting value points to the address of the corresponding air valve setting value, or vice-versa.
  • control system includes data as to the number of valve settings the memory is intended to accommodate and is capable of operating in a run mode only when all the air and fuel valve settings are present in the memory, and preferably, the memory holds data as to the open and shut positions of the valves.
  • the first variable is the difference between second and third variables, and, preferably, the second and third variables are the actual and desired operating temperatures, respectively, of a medium arranged to be heated by a burner controllable by the control system.
  • control system may include display means and be capable of displaying the second and third variables alternately on common display elements.

  • the manual controls are identified on the front panel represented in Fig. 3..
  • the manual controls are switches connected to a plurality of control input ports shown in Fig. 2.
  • the operations carried out by the combustion process control system commence with switch-on and the selection of fuel (1).
  • the system checks whether or not it has a look-up memory with information for the fuel selected (2) and, if not, places itself in the commissioning mode permitting control by means of the manual controls shown in Fig. 3 and illuminating the CLOSE POSITION and ENTER MEMORY displays at the control panel (3).
  • the manual controls for the air and fuel valve motors are then used by the operator to close both valves (indications of the positions of the valves are given at the control panel) and the operator presses ENTER MEMORY on the front panel when he is satisfied that the valves are closed (4).
  • the system then illuminates a SET STAT display, indicating that the operator should enter a temperature setting at which the burner is to be extinguished in order to prevent a further rise in the temperature of the medium being heated e.g. water in a boiler.
  • the OPEN POSITION and ENTER MEMORY displays on the control panel are next illuminated (7) and the operator uses the manual controls to open both valves fully and presses ENTER MEMORY on the first panel when he is satisfied that both valves are open (8).
  • the system next purges waste gases from the combustion chamber (9) after which it illuminates the START POSITION display on the control panel (10, 11, 12).
  • the manual controls are then used by the operator to open partially both valves to allow ignition and combustion of fuel and he then presses START POSITION (13) to initiate boiler operation.
  • the system then illuminates the HIGH POSITION and ENTER MEMORY displays on the front panel (14).
  • the manual controls are used by the operator to obtain, from the burner, a maximum heat output suitable for the installation in which it is being used while ensuring efficient combustion at the maximum heat demand (15). This part of the operation is executed with the aid of combustion analysis equipment and requires an operator skilled in the use of such equipment. When the operator is satisfied that efficient combustion is taking place at the high heat demand setting he presses ENTER MEMORY (15).
  • the system decides whether subsequent operation is to be for the entry of intermediate or start data (17), and,for the entry of intermediate data, illuminates the INTER POSITION and START displays on the front panels (16).
  • INTER For the entry of intermediate data, the operator presses INTER (18), selects some fuel valve setting below the maximum value set previously, adjusts the air valve to provide efficient combustion at this new intermediate heat demand setting, and when he is satisfied that the-combustion is efficient he presses ENTER MEMORY (19).
  • the system continues to illuminate the INTER and START displays (return to 16) until the required number of locations in the look-up memory are filled with values for intermediate fuel valve and air valve settings.
  • the START and ENTER MEMORY displays are illuminated (20), the operator uses the manual controls to set a selected START position for the fuel valve, adjusts the air valve for efficient combustion and then presses the ENTER MEMORY display/switch to effect entry of the settings into the memory (21). The system then illuminates the RUN display on the front panel to indicate that it is ready for operation (22) which is effected by pressing RUN (23).
  • the combustion process control system deactivates all of the front panel controls with the exception of the COM (commission) and RUN controls and thereafter functions as a burner control system capable of providing its stored valve setting data in response to a remote load control input.
  • the system waits for 20 second (24) and then responds to the remote control, checking periodically for a change in demand (25).
  • combustion process control system may be reprogrammed by switching it off and on (return to 1), and then operating the COM control on the front panel which returns it to the commissioning cycle via check point (27) and decision (28).
  • the programmer/operator is required to set, by means of a presettable control forming part of the apparatus, an "offset" temperature difference to be used by the apparatus in normal operation.
  • an "offset" temperature difference to be used by the apparatus in normal operation.

  • Fig. 5 the relationship between the fuel valve setting and the deviation of the actual temperature from the thermostatically set temperature is represented by a graph having two straight portions, one (the first) portion rising at a constant rate to meet the other portion which has zero slope.
  • the first portion of the graph represents an increasing fuel valve setting, that is, the extent of opening of the fuel valve, from the START value to the HIGH value.
  • the increase in the fuel valve setting from the START value to the HIGH value occurs over a change from O° C to 10° C in the deviation of the actual temperature from the thermostatically set. temperature.
  • the fuel valve setting then remains constant at the HIGH value for temperature deviations in excess of 10°C.
  • the thermostatically set temperature T 0 C is represented by a O° C temperature deviation and T - 10° C is represented by a 10° C deviation, as shown in the alternative temperature scale of Fig. 5.
  • The"offset" temperature difference referred to above is, in Fig. 5, the 10° C difference at which the change occurs in the slope of the graph.
  • Values of fuel valve setting which lie on the rising part of the graph are the intermediate fuel valve setting values.
  • the equipment is capable of constructing- the graph of Fig. 5 by calculation, since it is given the START value, the HIGH value, and the "offset"temperature difference.
  • the HIGH value represents the setting for the maximum heat output which may be used with the particular installation, e.g. a boiler, which incorporates the burner control system.
  • the fuel burner control system in operation, monitors the actual temperature of a medium e.g. water in a boiler, which is being heated by the fuel burner and compares the said actual temperature with a thermostatically set temperature for the medium.
  • the fuel burner control system is capable of calculating the deviation of the actual temperature from the thermostatically set temperature and also of performing the operations necessary to obtain a value for fuel valve setting for any temperature deviation value in accordance with the relationship represented by Fig. 5. Therefore the fuel burner control system selects the START value of fuel.valve setting if the temperature deviation is zero and selects the HIGH value of fuel valve setting if the temperature deviation is 10 C or more. For a temperature deviation between O° C and 10° C, the fuel burner control system calculates the fuel valve setting (angular position in degrees) in accordance with the relationship :-
  • Fig. 5 Also shown in Fig. 5 are alternative forms of the relationship between fuel valve settings and temperature deviation having break points at X° C (less than 10° C) and Y° C (more than 10° C), respectively.
  • the fuel burner control system shuts off the fuel supply if the temperature deviation becomes negative.
  • Fig. 6 data required by the fuel burner control system in its operation is stored as fuel valve settings in a first addressable data store, represented diagrammatically on the left in Fig. 6, and as air valve settings in a second addressable data store, represented diagrammatically on the right in Fig. 6.
  • the fuel burner control system Once the fuel burner control system has determined a fuel valve setting, as described above with reference to Fig. 5, it locates the said fuel valve setting, in the fuel valve setting data store (or the fuel valve setting closest to the said valve setting), notes the address at which the relevant fuel valve setting was located, and selects the air valve setting data at a correspondance address in the valve setting data store.
  • the fuel burner control system Once the fuel burner control system has acquired both fuel valve and air valve setting data it proceeds to apply the fuel valve setting data to its fuel valve control output port and to apply the air valve setting data to its air valve control output port.
  • the fuel valve setting data available in the first data store includes control data giving the following positions of the fuel valve :
  • the data store also includes an indication of the value of N INTERMEDIATE positions of the fuel valve available in the data store), so that the system can check on whether or not it holds a full set of INTERMEDIATE data.
  • the accuracy of control of the air and fuel valves 2 and 3 is of the order of a quarter degree and the valve positions are read as those of the motors 4 and 5 by the feedback provided by the potentiometers 6 and 7.
  • the positions of the motors are checked eight times per second.
  • the front panel displays include "fuel selected” indicators, “commission” and “run” indicators, and a temperature indicator which displays the desired and actual temperatures alternately.
  • the front panel also includes an 0 2 display and setting control for establishing an optimum level of oxygen in the exhaust gases during commissioning.
  • the system may be arranged to maintain a boiler to provide the optimum oxygen level in the exhaust gases by fine control of the valves (over and above the fixed control set on commissioning).
  • the 0 2 display is arranged to display the actual and desired values alternately.
  • the temperature (or more precisely the difference between the actual and desired temperatures) of the boiler water is used as a variable control quantity. It is also possible to use other variables; for example the steam pressure of the boiler, the temperature of the products of combustion of the boiler, the process or output temperature of the boiler, or a variable related to the heat load requirements of, for example, a building heated by the boiler.
