Abstract

According to the inventive method, the ionization signal for operation with a nominal load and operation with a partial load is determined at a first point in time. A first difference between the ionization signal for operation with a nominal load and the ionization signal for operation with a partial load is determined for this point in time. The ionization signal for operation with a nominal load and operation with a partial load is then determined at a second point in time and the second difference between the ionization signal for operation with a nominal load and the ionization signal for operations with a partial load is then formed for this second point in time. The first difference and the second difference are compared with each other and the state of the gas burner is established depending on the result of this comparison.

Description

Verfahren zum Betreiben eines Gasbrenners Method of operating a gas burner
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Betreiben eines Gasbrenners gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a method for operating a gas burner according to the preamble of claim 1.
Gasbrenner verfügen üblicherweise über eine elektrische bzw. elektronische Zündeinrichtung und über eine Flammenüberwachungs-Einrichtung, wobei die Flamπienüberwachungs-Einrichtung in der Regel einen von der Brennerflamme induzierten Ionisationsstrom mißt und abhängig von diesem Ionisationsstrom das Vorhandensein oder das NichtVorhandensein der Brennerflamme anzeigt.Gas burners usually have an electrical or electronic ignition device and a flame monitoring device, the flame monitoring device generally measuring an ionization current induced by the burner flame and indicating the presence or absence of the burner flame depending on this ionization current.
Es gibt auch Regler für Gasbrenner, die den Ionisationsstrom zur Gewährleistung einer hohen Verbrennungsqualität verwenden. Um nämlich innerhalb des Gasbrenners für eine optimale und vollständige Verbrennung des Brennstoffs, nämlich des Gases, zu sorgen, muß der Gasbrenner mit einem entsprechend abgestimmten Gas/Luft-Gemisch versorgt werden. So sind aus dem Stand der Technik Regelungsverfahren bekannt, bei denen ein Ionisationssignal eines in die Brennerflamme ragenden Sensors zur Anpassung des Gas/Luft-Gemisches an z. B. unterschiedliche Gasqualitäten verwendet wird, um so das Gas/Luft-Gemisch an die Qualität des von der Gasversorgung bereitgestellten Gases anzupassen und um so letztendlich eine hohe Verbrennungsqualität zu gewährleisten. Diesbezüglich kann auf die DE-A-44 33 425, DE 39 37 290 AI sowie DE 195 39 568 Cl verwiesen werden.There are also regulators for gas burners that use the ionization current to ensure high quality combustion. In order to ensure optimal and complete combustion of the fuel, namely the gas, within the gas burner, the gas burner must be supplied with an appropriately coordinated gas / air mixture. Control methods are known from the prior art, in which an ionization signal of a sensor projecting into the burner flame for adapting the gas / air mixture to e.g. B. different gas qualities are used in order to adapt the gas / air mixture to the quality of the gas provided by the gas supply and to ultimately ensure a high quality of combustion. In this regard, reference can be made to DE-A-44 33 425, DE 39 37 290 AI and DE 195 39 568 Cl.
Bei den bekannten, ein Ionisationssignal verwendenden Verfahren zum Betreiben eines Gasbrenners tritt jedoch das Problem auf, daß mit zunehmender Betriebsdauer das von einem Sensor bereitgestellte Ionisationssignal unzuverlässig wird. Es ist dann keine verläßliche Auskunft über die tatsächlich im Brenner herrschenden Verbrennungsverhältnisse mehr möglich. Hiervon ausgehend liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung das Problem zugrunde, ein neuartiges Verfahren zum Betreiben eines Gasbrenners bereitzustellen.In the known methods using an ionization signal for operating a gas burner, however, the problem arises that the ionization signal provided by a sensor becomes unreliable with increasing operating time. It is then no longer possible to provide reliable information about the combustion conditions actually prevailing in the burner. Proceeding from this, the present invention addresses the problem of providing a novel method for operating a gas burner.
Erfindungsgemäß wird das Problem durch ein Verfahren mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.According to the invention the problem is solved by a method with the features of claim 1.
Bevorzugte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen und der Beschreibung.Preferred developments of the invention result from the subclaims and the description.
Dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren liegt die Erkenntnis zu Grunde, daß der das Ionisationssignal liefernde Sensor während des Brennerbetriebs in folge von Verschmutzungen, die sich auf dem Sensor ablagern, altert. Weiter Alterungserscheinungen des Sensors können durch chemische Zerrüttung oder dergleichen auftreten. Bei einer derartigen Alterung ist das Signal des Ionisationssensors nicht mehr zuverlässig, da sich das elektrische Verhalten des Sensors ändert.The method according to the invention is based on the knowledge that the sensor delivering the ionization signal ages during burner operation as a result of contaminations which are deposited on the sensor. Further signs of aging of the sensor can occur due to chemical disruption or the like. With such aging, the signal from the ionization sensor is no longer reliable because the electrical behavior of the sensor changes.
Die erfindungsgemäße Idee beruht auf der weiteren Erkenntnis, daß jeder Brenner eine spezifische Charakteristik des Ionisationsstroms über dem Modulationsbereich des Gasbrenners aufweist. Mit anderen Worten ist der Ionisationsstrom bei einem Teillastbetrieb des Gasbrenners geringer als bei einem Nennlastbetrieb des Gasbrenners. Darüber hinaus hat die Alterung des Sensors auf das Ionisationssignal bei Teillastbetrieb eine andere Auswirkung als auf das Ionisationssignal bei Nennlastbetrieb.The idea according to the invention is based on the further knowledge that each burner has a specific characteristic of the ionization current over the modulation range of the gas burner. In other words, the ionization current is lower when the gas burner is operated under partial load than when the gas burner is operated at nominal load. In addition, the aging of the sensor has a different effect on the ionization signal in partial load operation than on the ionization signal in nominal load operation.
Daher wird erfindungsgemäß zu einem ersten Zeitpunkt das Ionisationssignal bei Nennlastbetrieb I(1)NL und bei Teillastbetrieb I(1)TL ermittelt wird, wobei für diesen ersten Zeitpunkt eine erste Differenz D(1)=I(1)NL- I(1)TL zwischen dem Ionisationssignal bei Nennlastbetrieb und dem Ionisationssignal bei Teillastbetrieb gebildet wird. Ferner wird zu einem zweiten Zeitpunkt das Ionisationssignal bei Nennlastbetrieb I(2)NL und bei Teillastbetrieb I(2)TL ermittelt wird, wobei für diesen zweiten Zeitpunkt eine zweite Differenz D(2)=I(2)NL- I(2)TL zwischen dem Ionisationssignal bei Nennlastbetrieb und dem Ionisationssignal bei Teillastbetrieb gebildet wird. Die erste Differenz D(l) und die zweite Differenz D(2) werden miteinander verglichen, wobei abhängig hiervon auf den Zustand des Gasbrenners, z.B. den Zustand der Flammenüberwachungs-Einrichtung bzw. des Sensors, geschlossen wird oder auch der Zustand des Gasbrenners beeinflußt wird.Therefore, according to the invention, the ionization signal is determined at nominal load operation at nominal load operation I (1) NL and at partial load operation I (1) TL, a first difference D (1) = I (1) NL-I (1) for this first time. TL is formed between the ionization signal in nominal load operation and the ionization signal in partial load operation. Furthermore, the ionization signal is determined at nominal load operation I (2) NL and at partial load operation I (2) TL at a second point in time, with a second difference D (2) = I (2) NL-I (2) TL for this second point in time is formed between the ionization signal in nominal load operation and the ionization signal in partial load operation. The first difference D (l) and the second difference D (2) are compared with one another, depending on the state of the gas burner, e.g. the state of the flame monitoring device or the sensor is closed or the state of the gas burner is influenced.
Vorzugsweise wird das Ionisationssignal bei mehreren aufeinanderfolgenden Zeitpunkten bei Nennlastbetrieb und bei Teillastbetrieb ermittelt. Für jeden dieser Zeitpunkte wird eine Differenz zwischen dem Ionisationssignal bei Nennlastbetrieb und dem Ionisationssignal bei Teillastbetrieb gebildet. Abhängig von einer Abweichung zwischen den Differenzen unmittelbar aufeinander folgender Zeitpunkte wird dann auf den Zustand des Gasbrenners geschlossen, vorzugsweise wird der Zustand des Gasbrenners beeinflußt.The ionization signal is preferably determined at several successive points in time in nominal load operation and in partial load operation. For each of these times, a difference is formed between the ionization signal in nominal load operation and the ionization signal in part-load operation. The state of the gas burner is then determined as a function of a deviation between the differences of immediately successive points in time, and the state of the gas burner is preferably influenced.
Es ist selbstverständlich, daß der Grad der Teillast (z.B. 40% der Nennlast) sowie die Nennlast bei der Ermittlung der Ionisationssignale für aufeinanderfolgende Zeitpunkte identisch sind.It goes without saying that the degree of partial load (e.g. 40% of the nominal load) and the nominal load when determining the ionization signals are identical for successive points in time.
Abhängig von einer Abweichung zwischen den Differenzen aufeinanderfolgender Zeitpunkte wird auf die Alterung des das Ionisationssignal liefernden Sensors geschlossen, wobei das Ausmaß der Abweichung ein Indikator für den Grad der Alterung des Sensors ist.Depending on a deviation between the differences of successive points in time, the aging of the sensor delivering the ionization signal is concluded, the extent of the deviation being an indicator of the degree of aging of the sensor.
Abhängig von der Abweichung zwischen den obigen Differenzen wird eine Wartungsanzeige aktiviert, die einer Bedienperson anzeigt, daß der Sensor ausgetauscht werden muß. Dies geschieht vorzugsweise bei Überschreiten eines Schwellenwerts für die Abweichung. Auch kann abhängig von dieser Abweichung auf einen Notbetrieb umgeschaltet werden, bei großen Abweichungen wird der Gasbrenner vorzugsweise abgeschaltet.Depending on the difference between the above differences, a service indicator is activated to indicate to an operator that the sensor needs to be replaced. This is preferably done when a threshold value for the deviation is exceeded. Depending on this deviation, it is also possible to switch to emergency operation; in the event of large deviations, the gas burner is preferably switched off.
Auch kann die Regelung des Gasbrenners angepaßt werden. The regulation of the gas burner can also be adapted.
