Definitions

  • the invention relates to a control device for gas burners according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Control devices for gas burners are known from the prior art, for. As the EP 0 390 964 A1, well known. Adaptive servo pressure regulators for various types of gas are known from DE 42 30 201 A1 and from EP 0 103 303 A2.
  • a controller In order to provide optimum and complete combustion of the fuel, namely the gas, within the gas burner, a controller must supply the gas burner with a suitably tuned gas / air mixture. However, since the quality of the gas provided by the gas supply - the quality of gas is defined by a so-called Wobbe index - varies, the controller must respond to this and ensure optimal and complete combustion of the gas / air mixture depending on the quality vary according to the gas.
  • the present invention is based on the problem to provide a control device for gas burners, which provides the simplest design means even with fluctuating gas quality optimal for combustion gas / air mixture.
  • the pressure of the compressed air generated by the blower 23 is fed via a pressure line 27 to the gas control device 10.
  • a pressure line 27 to the gas control device 10.
  • an aperture or throttle point 29 is arranged in the immediate vicinity of a connection region 28 of the pressure line 27.
  • the controller 18 not only controls or regulates the power supply to the motor 22 of the fan 23, but also controls or regulates the power supply to a linear drive 30 of the gas control unit 10 and 10 in response to the signal 21 thus the amount of gas to be supplied to the burner 11.
  • a corresponding control signal is the reference numeral 31 assigned.
  • the signal 21 coming from the sensor 20 varies depending on the gas quality.
  • the gas control device 10 consisting of a main gas valve 32, a safety valve 33 and a pressure regulator 34. Gas passes from a supply line, not shown, via an inlet 35 into the gas regulator 10 and leaves it through an outlet 36 to which, for example, the gas nozzle 26 is connected.
  • the pressure regulator 34 has the already mentioned linear drive 30.
  • a valve rod 37 which is displaceable via the linear drive 30, carries a closing body 38 at its lower end.
  • An associated valve seat 39 is formed by a peripheral edge 40. Closing body 38 and valve seat 39 together form a switch-on valve 41.
  • a first chamber 42 is arranged in the flow direction behind the switch-on valve 41.
  • the chamber 42 is connected via a valve rod 37 surrounding channel 44 with a valve seat 45 in connection, which faces as a closing body of the central part 46 of a membrane 47.
  • the valve rod 37 is held sealed in this central part 46 of the diaphragm 47.
  • a second chamber 48 between membrane 47 and valve seat 45 is, as shown schematically in Fig. 2, connected to a channel 49.
  • the channel 49 communicates with the outlet 36 of the gas control device 10 in connection.
  • the gas control device can only be effective when the safety valve 33 is open. Construction and operation of such safety valves are known. In Fig. 2, all valves are shown in the rest position, in which they are held by return springs.
  • the burner cycle can be started.
  • the linear actuator 30 power is supplied, which causes the closing body 38 of the on-valve 41 is pressed down. If this current exceeds a minimum value, then the closing body 38 lifts off from the valve seat 39 and moves into an open position. With the opening of the on-valve 41, gas flows into the first chamber 42.
  • the main gas valve 32 consisting of closure member 51, valve seat 52, valve rod 53, diaphragm 54 and the drive chamber 43 remains closed under the action of the return spring 55.
  • the valve rod 37 is moved so far down that passes through the open switch-41 gas in the chamber 42, in which gradually builds up a control pressure. This is supplied via the channels 56 and 57 of the drive chamber 43 of the main valve 32.
  • the force exerted on the diaphragm 54 by the control pressure in the drive chamber 43 the force exerted by the return spring 55, downwardly directed to the membrane 54 force plus the input pressure from above on the closing body 51 acting force exceeds the membrane moves 54, the valve rod 53 upwards and lifts the Closing member 51 from the valve seat 52. This allows gas from the inlet 35 through the space 50 and through the main gas valve 32 to the outlet 36th
  • the control pressure which builds up in the second chamber 48 at the same time passes under the membrane 47 and holds there the equilibrium of the force exerted by the linear drive 30. If the pressure in the chamber 48 increases, the central part 46 of the diaphragm 47 which forms a closing body continues to lift away from the valve seat 45, so that a part of the control pressure in the chamber 48 is reduced via the channel 49 to the outlet 36 until the from the valve seat 45 and the central part 46 formed valve closes again. This happens as soon as the equilibrium of forces between the pneumatic force acting on the diaphragm 47 from below, of the pressure in the chamber 48, is equal to the force acting on the valve rod 37 from above.
  • a constant pressure regulator 58 is present, which is connected via a channel 59 and the channel 56 to the control pressure leading chamber 42 and thus at the same time to the drive chamber 43 of the main valve 32. If the pressure in the channel 59 increases too much, it is blown off via the valve of the constant pressure regulator 58, consisting of the valve seat 60 and the closing body 61.
  • a pressure chamber 62 of the constant pressure regulator 58 communicates via a channel 63 with the channel 49 leading to the outlet 36.
  • the amount of pressure at the outlet 36 is determined by the balance of forces between the force acting on the diaphragm 64 of the constant pressure regulator 58 from below pneumatic force of the pressure in the drive chamber 43 and the forces acting from above on the membrane 64.
  • the forces acting on the membrane 64 of the constant pressure regulator 58 from above are firstly the pneumatic force of the pressure in the air channel 25 and secondly a force acting on the membrane 64 via a spring 65.
  • the spring force is adjustable.
  • the adjustment of the equal pressure regulator 58 - also called 1: 1 gas / air regulator - takes place in relation to the worst expected (or in terms of the poorest) gas quality. The same applies to the design of the opening cross-sections of the gas nozzle 26 and throttle point 29. In the case of the worst or poorest gas quality of the linear actuator 30 of the pressure regulator 34, a maximum current I is further supplied.
  • the gas regulator 10 operates like a 1: 1 gas / air regulator; the ratio of gas pressure to air pressure or the ratio of the burner 11 supplied gas flow and air flow is then 1: 1.
  • Fig. 3 shows this relationship in the line 67, wherein the air pressure is plotted on the X-axis 68 and the gas pressure on the Y-axis 69.
  • FIG. 3 shows this by way of example in the line 70 for the best expected (or for the richest) gas quality.
  • the horizontal lines 71 in FIG. 3 correspond to a constant current I.
  • the gas control device 10 To start up the burner 11, it is possible to proceed with the gas control device 10 according to the invention as follows: First, the blower 23 is started to provide an air flow. Subsequently, the safety valve 33 of the gas control device 10 is opened, wherein the maximum drive current I is supplied to the liner drive 30 of the pressure regulator 34, thus the gas control device 10 is operated during startup as a 1: 1 gas / air regulator. Gas flow and air flow are thus determined when starting the burner 11 in the ratio 1: 1, regardless of the actual gas quality. After ignition of the flame, the current I is reduced as a function of the actual gas quality. The gas / air flow is thus adapted to the gas quality.
  • the gas flow rate to the burner 11 are increased, so the main gas valve 32 must be opened further, so the control pressure in the drive chamber 43 can be increased.
  • the power supply to the fan 23 is increased via the controller 18, and on the other hand, the linear drive 30 is supplied with a stronger current. Due to the increased energy supply to the blower 23, the air pressure in the air duct 25 and thus the force acting from above on the diaphragm 64 of the constant pressure regulator 58 increases. Due to the increased power supply to the linear actuator 30, the valve rod 37 is pressed with greater force down. The valve formed from the valve seat 45 and the central part 46 then opens only at a higher pressure under the membrane 47. When a desired reduction in the gas flow rate to the burner 11 is reversed.
  • linear drive 30 e.g. a magnetic drive with fixed coil and movable armature or a Tauchspulantrieb with fixed magnetic circuit and movable coil use find.
  • Fig. 4 shows the functional dependence between air flow and gas flow at different gas qualities again.
  • Line 73 in Fig. 4 shows the ratio of gas pressure to air pressure or the ratio of the gas flow supplied to the burner 11 and air flow for the worst (poorest) expected gas quality.
  • the air pressure is plotted on the x-axis 75 and the gas pressure on the y-axis 76.
  • the linear actuator 30 of the pressure regulator 34 again a maximum current I is supplied.
  • the gas regulator then works like a 1: 1 gas / air regulator. With an improved gas quality detected via the sensor 20, the current I supplied to the linear drive 30 of the pressure regulator 34 is reduced via the temperature regulator 18. The gas stream then decreases in proportion to the air flow.
  • the constant pressure regulator 58 or the 1: 1 gas / air regulator of the gas control devices of the embodiments described above can be replaced by a ratio pressure regulator or a 1: N gas / air regulator.
