Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for checking a gas mixture sensor and ionization sensor with regard to their fault-free function in a fuel gas-operated heater.
- the state of the art is also a combustion control according to the so-called.

- a flame signal measurement is carried out by means of an ionization sensor and the gas-air mixture is regulated to a target ionization measurement value stored in a characteristic curve.
- the disadvantage of the SCOT process is that the flame signal drops sharply at low burner outputs, making the control unreliable.
- the applicant also has a method for regulating a gas mixture formed from a gas and a fuel gas in a fuel gas-operated heater, in which the gas mixture is generated by providing a gas quantity via a first actuator and a fuel gas quantity via a second actuator be mixed.
- Gas mixture sensor which detects at least one material property of the gas mixture, is acted upon by the gas mixture and continuously transmits a sensor signal that is dependent on the respective gas mixture to a control unit.
- the control unit compares the detected sensor signal with a setpoint value of the sensor signal and controls at least one of the first and second actuators in the event of a discrepancy between the detected sensor signal and the setpoint value of the sensor signal.
- the gas mixture is adjusted by increasing or decreasing the amount of gas and / or increasing or decreasing the amount of fuel gas until the target value of the sensor signal is reached.
- the material property of the gas mixture detected by the microthermal gas mixture sensor is preferably the thermal conductivity, the temperature conductivity or the speed of sound of the gas mixture. However, several of these material properties can also be recorded, so that a more precise assignment of the majority of the properties to the gas mixture is possible.
- the microthermal gas mixture sensor is designed as a gas mass sensor, which records both the gas mixture mass fed to the burner of the heater and other material physical properties.
- calorimetric microsensors known from the prior art are used for this purpose, which in addition to the thermal conductivity, the thermal conductivity of the gas mixture.
- Another possibility is at least one gas mass sensor based on the functional principle of ultrasound measurement to determine the gas mixture mass and the respective
- the setpoint value of the sensor signal is also adapted by the control device as a function of a composition of the gas or of the fuel gas. If the composition of the fuel gas changes (e.g. from propane to butane), the measured properties of the gas mixture change. In addition, different compositions of fuel gas also require different amounts of air for optimal combustion. A new mixing ratio between gas and fuel gas is therefore also required.

- the measured properties of the gas mixture change.
- different compositions of fuel gas also require different amounts of air for optimal combustion. A new mixing ratio between gas and fuel gas is therefore also required.
- Such an adaptation of the setpoint value of the sensor signal takes place by means of a calibration process.
- the first actuator of the gas amount or the second actuator of the fuel gas amount are changed by the control unit until the desired result is achieved.
- the original setpoint is replaced by the new measured sensor signal for further mixture control.
- the calibration process is carried out by an ionization current control of a flame signal from a burner of the heater until a desired ionization value is reached.
- a stoichiometric combustion of the burner of the heater is first set.
- the flame signal of the burner of the heater and thus a corresponding ionization current are recorded via an ionization probe.
- the ionization current is at a maximum.
- a percentage determined by laboratory technology is used to calculate an ionization setpoint value and stored as a future ionization current setpoint value, which must be achieved for the desired combustion. Then only the amount of gas is reduced by a predetermined factor in order to operate the burner with the desired gas mixture at the predetermined ionization setpoint.
- the at least one material egg The property of the gas mixture is measured by the gas mixture sensor and stored in the control unit as the new setpoint value of the sensor signal.

- a flame signal is detected via the ionization sensor, an ionization signal is determined from this and transmitted to the control device.
- a corresponding ionization signal of the ionization sensor is assigned to the gas mixture sensor.
- the amount of gas or the amount of fuel gas is temporarily changed in a predefined manipulated variable of the first or second actuator, so that the composition of the gas mixture changes as a result.
- the change in the sensor signal of the gas mixture sensor and the ionization sensor resulting from the change in the mixture Signal of the ionization sensor measured and compared with one another. From the result of the comparison of the respective change in the sensor values, deviations from setpoint values can be recognized and a defective function of the gas mixture sensor or the ionization sensor can be deduced.
- the amount of fuel gas is preferably changed temporarily in a predefined manipulated variable of the first or second actuator, which can be controlled more precisely than the amount of gas that is usually provided as air via a fan.

This makes it possible to define a tolerance range for the signals which are considered normal for regular operation. If the deviation is too great outside the tolerance range, a fault diagnosis can be shown in a display of the heater, for example will.
- the inventive method is preferably applied continuously during the mixture control and the sensor signal of the
- a further development of the method provides that to check the
- Gas mixture sensor and the ionization sensor the amount of gas or the amount of fuel gas is changed cyclically in several steps in predefined control variables of the first or second actuator and the change in the sensor signal of the gas mixture sensor and the ionization signal of the ionization sensor in several of the steps resulting from the steps Operating points are measured and compared with each other.
- the calibration process described above by the ionization current regulation is used in an advantageous embodiment of the method in order to establish a prior assignment of several signal values of the gas mixture sensor and ionization sensor in the various operating points.
- the calibration process is preferably carried out repeatedly, so that sensor signals of the gas mixture sensor that correspond to several different ionization signals are assigned.
- the relationship between the ionization signal and the sensor signal at the various operating points results in a target characteristic in a diagram of the ionization signal-sensor signal, which is stored in the control device.
