For processes in which preheated combustion air at a
temperature of up to 450°C must be controlled. In this
example, the actuator IC 40 is controlled by a two-point
controller to adjust the burner capacity. It runs in High/
Low intermittent mode. The running time can be ad-
justed between 5 and 25 seconds.

For processes that require a homogeneous tempera-
ture distribution and high temperature accuracy in the
furnace.
If only a low heat output is required, for example to
maintain the temperature in the furnace, the burner can
continue to be operated in intermittent mode. The ad-
justment angle of the valve is reduced via the analogue
input (4 – 20 mA) of the actuator and the burner capac-
ity is therefore lowered. This ensures uniform tempera-
ture distribution even with a low heat output.
This function of the actuator IC 40 can also be used in
the ceramics industry to correct the lambda value or for
temperature compensation purposes in hot-air applica-
tions.
