Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Betreiben eines Gasbrenners nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 oder 3.The invention relates to a method for operating a gas burner according to the preamble of
Einem Gasbrenner wird ein Gas-Verbrennungsluft-Gemisch zugeführt, um das Gas des Gas-Verbrennungsluft-Gemischs im Gasbrenner zu verbrennen. Hierbei bildet sich im Gasbrenner eine Flamme aus, wobei es aus dem Stand der Technik bereits bekannt ist, das Vorhandensein einer Flamme im Gasbrenner anhand eines lonisationsstroms zu überprüfen, der von einem Ionisationssensor bereitgestellt wird. Hiermit kann gewährleistet werden, dass dann, wenn sich trotz Zuführen eines Gas-Verbrennungsluft-Gemischs zum Gasbrenner im Gasbrenner keine Flamme ausbildet, dass weitere Zuführen des Gas-Verbrennungsluft-Gemischs zum Gasbrenner unterbunden werden kann.A gas burner is supplied with a gas-combustion air mixture to burn the gas of the gas-combustion air mixture in the gas burner. In this case, a flame is formed in the gas burner, it being already known from the prior art to check the presence of a flame in the gas burner by means of an ionization current provided by an ionization sensor. This can be ensured that when no flame is formed despite supplying a gas-combustion air mixture to the gas burner in the gas burner, that further supply of the gas-combustion air mixture can be suppressed to the gas burner.
Aus dem Stand der Technik ist es weiterhin bekannt, auf Grundlage des von einem Ionisationssensor bereitgestellten bzw. gemessenen Ionisationsstroms die Zusammensetzung und/oder die Menge des dem Gasbrenner, nämlich einer Brennkammer desselben, zuzuführenden Gas-Verbrennungsluft-Gemischs einzustellen, insbesondere zu regeln.From the state of the art, it is further known, on the basis of the ionization flow provided or measured by an ionization sensor, to set, in particular to regulate, the composition and / or the amount of the gas burner, namely a combustion chamber, of the gas-combustion-air mixture to be supplied.

Falls diese Verunreinigungen gering sind, kann der Effekt derselben auf den Ionisationsstrom vernachlässigt werden. Dann hingegen, wenn Verunreinigungen in großem Umfang vorliegen, ist der Einfluss derselben auf das Ionisationssignal so stark, dass sich Ungenauigkeiten in der Einstellung ergeben können. Dies von Nachteil und muss zuverlässig vermieden werden.Previously known methods for operating a gas burner, which set the composition and / or amount of gas-combustion air mixture to be supplied to the gas burner on the basis of an ionization current measured by an ionization sensor, disregard that the ionization current is not only dependent on the composition and / or amount is dependent on the gas-combustion air mixture, but also of combustible impurities contained in the combustion chamber of the gas burner to be supplied gas-combustion air mixture and in the combustion chamber of the gas burner. If these impurities are small, the effect of the same on the ionization current can be neglected. On the other hand, if there is a large amount of contaminants, their influence on the ionization signal is so strong that inaccuracies in the adjustment may result. This disadvantage and must be reliably avoided.

Gebläses unabhängig vom lonisationsstrom geregelt, wobei aus dem vom Ionisationssensor bereitgestellten lonisationsstrom ermittelt wird, ob und/oder in welchem Umfang das dem Gasbrenner zugeführte Gas-Verbrennungsluft-Gemisch sowie eine Brennkammer des Gasbrenners Verunreinigungen enthält, wobei dann, wenn festgestellt wird, das diese Verunreinigungen bzw. der Umfang derselben kleiner als ein erster Grenzwert sind, auf Basis des mit Hilfe des Ionisationssensors bereitgestellten Ionisationsstroms die Zusammensetzung des Gas-Verbrennungsluft-Gemischs im Sinne der Kalibrierung eingestellt wird, und wobei dann, wenn festgestellt wird, das diese Verunreinigungen bzw. der Umfang derselben größer als ein zweiter Grenzwert sind, auf Basis des mit Hilfe des Ionisationssensors bereitgestellten Ionisationsstroms die Zusammensetzung des Gas-Verbrennungsluft-Gemischs Sinne der Kalibrierung nicht eingestellt wird.This problem is solved according to a first aspect by a method according to
Dieses Problem wird nach einem zweiten Aspekt durch ein Verfahren nach Anspruch 3 gelöst. Hiernach wird auf Basis des mit Hilfe des Ionisationssensors bereitgestellten Ionisationsstroms die Zusammensetzung und/oder die Menge des Gas-Verbrennungsluft-Gemischs im Sinne einer Regelung während des Betriebs des Gasbrenners fortlaufend bzw. kontinuierlich oder quasikontinuierlich derart eingestellt wird, dass ein vom Ionisationsstrom abhängiger Istwert mit einem entsprechenden Sollwert verglichen und abhängig von einer hierbei ermittelten Abweichung zwischen dem Sollwert und dem Istwert die Öffnungsstellung eines in eine Gasleitung integrierten Gasventils und/oder die Drehzahl eines Lüfters bzw. Gebläses geregelt, wobei aus dem vom Ionisationssensor bereitgestellten Ionisationsstrom ermittelt wird, ob und/oder in welchem Umfang das dem Gasbrenner zugeführte Gas-Verbrennungsluft-Gemisch sowie eine Brennkammer des Gasbrenners Verunreinigungen enthält, wobei dann, wenn festgestellt wird, das diese Verunreinigungen bzw. der Umfang derselben kleiner als ein erster Grenzwert sind, auf Basis des mit Hilfe des Ionisationssensors bereitgestellten Ionisationsstroms die Zusammensetzung und/oder Menge des Gas-Verbrennungsluft-Gemischs im Sinne der Regelung eingestellt wird, und wobei dann, wenn festgestellt wird, das diese Verunreinigungen bzw. der Umfang derselben größer als ein zweiter Grenzwert sind, auf Basis des mit Hilfe des Ionisationssensors bereitgestellten Ionisationsstroms die Zusammensetzung und/oder Menge des Gas-Verbrennungsluft-Gemischs im Sinne der Regelung nicht eingestellt wird.This problem is solved according to a second aspect by a method according to claim 3. Thereafter, the composition and / or the amount of the gas-combustion air mixture in the sense of a control during operation of the gas burner is continuously or continuously or quasi-continuously set on the basis of the provided by means of the ionization Ionisationsstroms such that a dependent of the ionization current value with is compared to a corresponding setpoint value and, depending on a deviation determined here between the desired value and the actual value, regulates the open position of a gas valve integrated in a gas line and / or the rotational speed of a fan or blower, it being determined from the ionization current provided by the ionization sensor whether and / or or to what extent contains the gas burner supplied gas-combustion air mixture and a combustion chamber of the gas burner impurities, and then, if it is determined that these impurities or the scope thereof is smaller than a first limit si nd, on the basis of the provided by means of the ionization Ionisationsstroms the composition and / or amount of the gas-combustion air mixture is adjusted in the sense of regulation, and wherein, if it is determined that these impurities or the scope thereof is greater than a second Are limit value, on the basis of the provided with the help of the ionization Ionisationsstroms the composition and / or amount of the gas-combustion air mixture is not set in the sense of the regulation.
Mit beiden Aspekten der Erfindung wird erstmals vorgeschlagen, das vom lonisationssensor bereitgestellte Messsignal, also den Ionisationsstrom, dahingehend auszuwerten, dass auf Grundlage des Ionisationsstroms festgestellt wird, ob und/oder in welchem Umfang bzw. in welcher Menge das dem Gasbrenner zugeführte Gas-Verbrennungsluft-Gemisch sowie die Brennkammer des Gasbrenners brennbare Verunreinigungen enthalten, welche die Qualität des vom Ionisationssensor bereitgestellten Messsignals beeinträchtigen.With both aspects of the invention, it is proposed for the first time to evaluate the measurement signal provided by the ionization sensor, that is to say the ionization current, based on the ionization current, to determine whether and / or to what extent or in what quantity the gas combustion air supplied to the gas burner. Mixture and the combustion chamber of the gas burner contain combustible impurities, which affect the quality of the measurement signal provided by the ionization sensor.
Hierdurch wird der Messwert des Ionisationssensors nicht nur für eine neue Funktionalität beim Betreiben eines Gasbrenners genutzt, vielmehr kann auch die Qualität in der Einstellung der Zusammensetzung und/oder der Menge des dem Gasbrenner zuzuführenden Gas-Verbrennungsluft-Gemischs gesteigert werden.As a result, the measured value of the ionization sensor is used not only for a new functionality when operating a gas burner, but also the quality in the adjustment of the composition and / or the amount of the gas burner to be supplied gas combustion air mixture can be increased.

Neben dem Gasventil 17 sind im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel in die Gasleitung 16 weitere Gasventile 18 und 19 integriert, die einer Sicherheitsfunktion dienen.In addition to the
Das vom Ionisationssensor 13 bereitgestellte Messsignal, nämlich der vom lonisationssensor 13 gemessene Ionisationsstrom, wird einer Steuerungseinrichtung 20 zugeführt, wobei die Steuerungseinrichtung 20 auf Grundlage des vom Ionisationssensor 13 bereitgestellten Ionisationsstroms die Zusammensetzung und/oder Menge des der Brennkammer 11 des Gasbrenners 10 zuzuführenden Gas-Verbrennungsluft-Gemischs einstellt. Zur Einstellung der Zusammensetzung des dem Gasbrenner bzw. der Brennkammer 11 desselben zuzuführenden Gas-Verbrennungsluft-Gemischs übermittelt die Steuerungseinrichtung 20 einem Aktuator 21 des Gasventils 17 ein Stellsignal. Zur Einstellung der Menge des dem Gasbrenner, nämlich der Brennkammer 11 desselben, zuzuführenden Gas-Verbrennungsluft-Gemischs übermittelt die Steuerungseinrichtung 20 an einen Aktuator 22 des Lüfters 14 ein entsprechendes Stellsignal.The measurement signal provided by the

Dann, wenn festgestellt wird, dass diese Verunreinigungen bzw. der Umfang bzw. die Menge der Verunreinigungen kleiner als ein erster Grenzwert sind bzw. ist, wird auf Basis des mithilfe des Ionisationssensors 13 bereitgestellten Ionisationsstroms von der Steuerungseinrichtung 20 die Zusammensetzung und/oder Menge des dem Gasbrenner zuzuführenden Gas-Verbrennungsluft-Gemischs eingestellt, indem die Steuerungseinrichtung 20 abhängig vom aktuell bereitgestellten Ionisationsstrom ein Stellsignal für den Aktuator 21 des Gasventils 17 und/oder ein Stellsignal für den Aktuator 22 des Lüfters 14 erzeugt. Wird hingegen festgestellt, dass diese Verunreinigungen bzw. der Umfang bzw. die Menge der Verunreinigungen größer als ein zweiter Grenzwert sind bzw. ist, so wird auf Basis des mithilfe des Ionisationssensors 13 bereitgestellten Ionisationsstroms die Zusammensetzung und/oder die Menge des Gas-Verbrennungsluft-Gemischs nicht eingestellt, vielmehr hält die Steuerungseinrichtung 20 die Zusammensetzung und/oder Menge des der Brennkammer 11 des Gasbrenners 10 zuzuführenden Gas-Verbrennungsluft-Gemischs unverändert bzw. konstant, nämlich so lange, bis festgestellt wird, dass die Verunreinigungen bzw. der Umfang der Verunreinigungen im dem Gasbrenner zuzuführenden Gas-Verbrennungsluft-Gemischs sowie in der Brennkammer 11 kleiner als der erste Grenzwert sind bzw. ist.According to the invention, it is determined from the ionization current provided by the
Der zweite Grenzwert kann dabei größer als der erste Grenzwert sein, um einen Hystereseeffekt auszubilden. Im Unterschied hierzu ist es jedoch auch möglich, dass der erste Grenzwert dem zweiten Grenzwert entspricht. Der oder die Grenzwerte können über den Modulationsbereich des Gasbrenners 10 fest oder variabel sein.The second limit may be greater than the first limit to form a hysteresis effect. In contrast, however, it is also possible that the first limit value corresponds to the second limit value. The threshold (s) may be fixed or variable over the modulation range of the

Nach einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung wird für die Ermittlung, ob und/oder in welchem Umfang das dem Gasbrenner zugeführte Gas-Verbrennungsluft-Gemisch bzw. die Brennkammer 11 desselben brennbare Verunreinigungen aufweist, in definierten Zeitabständen einen Messwert des Ionisationsstroms erfasst und gespeichert, wobei für eine definierte Anzahl von aufeinanderfolgenden Messungen die Standardabweichung des Ionisationsstroms ermittelt wird.According to an advantageous development of the invention, a measured value of the ionization current is detected and stored at defined time intervals for determining whether and / or to what extent the gas combustion gas mixture supplied to the gas burner or the
Diese Standardabweichung des Ionisationsstroms wird dann mit einem entsprechenden ersten Grenzwert und einem entsprechenden zweiten Grenzwert derart verglichen, dass dann, wenn die Standardabweichung des Ionisationsstroms kleiner als der erste Grenzwert ist, auf Basis des Ionisationsstroms die Zusammensetzung und/oder Menge des dem Gasbrenner zuzuführenden Gas-Verbrennungsluft-Gemischs eingestellt wird.This standard deviation of the ionization current is then compared with a corresponding first limit value and a corresponding second limit value such that, if the standard deviation of the ionization current is smaller than the first limit value, the composition and / or quantity of the gas gas to be supplied to the gas burner is determined on the basis of the ionization current. Combustion air mixture is adjusted.
Dann hingegen, wenn die Standardabweichung des Ionisationsstroms größer als ein entsprechender zweiter Grenzwert ist, wird auf Basis des Ionisationsstroms die Zusammensetzung und/oder Menge des dem Gasbrenner zuzuführenden Gas-Verbrennungsluft-Gemischs nicht eingestellt, sondern unverändert bleibt. Dabei kann, wie bereits ausgeführt, der zweite Grenzwert größer als der erste Grenzwert sein oder dem ersten Grenzwert entsprechen.Then, on the other hand, if the standard deviation of the ionization current is greater than a corresponding second limit value, the composition and / or amount of the gas combustion air mixture to be supplied to the gas burner is not set based on the ionization flow, but remains unchanged. In this case, as already stated, the second limit value may be greater than the first limit value or correspond to the first limit value.
Im Unterschied zur oben beschriebenen Ermittlung des Umfangs der brennbaren Verunreinigungen auf Basis der Standardabweichung des Ionisationsstroms ist es alternativ auch möglich, in definierten Zeitabständen einen Messwert des Ionisationsstroms zu erfassen und zu speichern, wobei dann überprüft wird, wie viele dieser Messwerte aus einer definierten Anzahl von aufeinanderfolgenden Messungen größer als ein oberer Grenzwert für den Ionisationsstrom oder kleiner als ein unterer Grenzwert für denselben sind. Dann, wenn diese Teilmenge aus der Anzahl von aufeinanderfolgenden Messungen kleiner als ein entsprechender erster Grenzwert ist, wird auf Basis des Ionisationsstroms die Zusammensetzung und/oder Menge des dem Gasbrenner zuzuführenden Gas-Verbrennungsluft-Gemischs eingestellt. Dann hingegen, wenn die Teilmenge aus der Anzahl von aufeinanderfolgenden Messungen größer als ein entsprechender zweiter Grenzwert ist, wird auf Basis des Ionisationsstroms die Zusammensetzung und/oder Menge des dem Gasbrenner zuzuführenden Gas-Verbrennungsluft-Gemischs nicht eingestellt, sondern wieder unverändert gehalten. Dabei kann der zweite Grenzwert größer als der erste Grenzwert sein oder dem ersten Grenzwert entsprechen.In contrast to the above-described determination of the extent of combustible impurities on the basis of the standard deviation of the ionization current, it is alternatively also possible to detect and store a measured value of the ionization current at defined time intervals, wherein it is then checked how many of these measured values are from a defined number of times successive measurements are greater than or less than an upper limit of the ionization current for the ionization current. Then, if this subset of the number of consecutive measurements is less than a corresponding first limit value, the composition and / or amount of the gas combustion air mixture to be supplied to the gas burner is set on the basis of the ionization flow. On the other hand, if the subset of the number of successive measurements is greater than a corresponding second limit value, the composition and / or amount of the gas combustion air mixture to be supplied to the gas burner is not adjusted based on the ionization flow, but kept unchanged. In this case, the second limit value may be greater than the first limit value or correspond to the first limit value.
