Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent abnormal combustion from taking place by providing a flame detecting element to detect flames of a burner to control speed in the case of variation of output of a fan motor and a proportional valve in response to detected values from the flame detecting element when number of revolution of the fan motor and opening of the proportional valve decrease. CONSTITUTION:A flame rod 8 serving as a flame detecting element to detect flames of a burner 7 is connected to an outdoor control device 6 through a flame current detecting circuit 9, while an indoor control device 5 is connected to the device 6 to receive command from a control part 4 and further a burner motor control circuit 10 and a proportional valve control circuit 11 are connected to the device 6. Air-fuel ratio is controlled using functions to increase or decrease, by certain proportion, number of revolution of a DC motor 12 and opening of a proportional valve 13 by means of the device 6. When the number of revolution of the motor 12 and the opening of the valve 13 are reduced by certain proportion, decreasing speed is slow and hence unbalance, i.e., excess of air, due to either the fan motor or the proportional valve is eliminated, so that flame condition becomes stabilized, avoiding thereby abnormal combustion such as blow-off or back fire.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) By the way, in conventional combustion control devices, a function that increases and decreases the rotation speed of the fan motor and the opening degree of the proportional valve at a certain rate (for example, 2/2/second) is used. It is controlled using a function that increases and decreases in 100 steps, and as the variable becomes large, the ratio of combustion air and fuel is not constant in all cases due to the large hole load of the burner, etc.
When stable, it can be controlled without any problems. However, trouble may occur when reducing the rotation speed of the fan motor and the opening degree of the proportional valve to the minimum side. i.e. fan motor,
Unbalance, such as combustion with a slight excess of air due to a slight misalignment of the proportional valve, may cause the burner flame to become unstable, resulting in abnormal combustion such as blowout or backfire.

First, for the burner motor control circuit 10, the motor 1
Issues a command to lower the power supply voltage to 2. In response to this, the burner motor control circuit 10 switches the power supply voltage to the motor 12 to a voltage lower by a certain amount than before, thereby reducing the rotation speed of the fan. Further, at the same time as above, the microcomputer also performs the following for the proportional valve control circuit 11:
A command is given to reduce the opening degree of the valve 13. In response to this,
The proportional valve control circuit B11 reduces the opening degree of the valve 13 or lowers the opening/closing frequency by a predetermined amount. This allows DC
The decreasing speed of the output of the motor 12 and the output of the proportional valve 13 is from (dt, /ds, ) to (dt2 /ds2)
This becomes gradual, and imbalances such as combustion with a slight excess of air due to slight deviations of the DC motor 12 and proportional valve 13 when reducing the gas consumption to the minimum side are almost eliminated.
