1 .1 .8 Modulating burner control
For processes that do not require heavy
circulation in the furnace, e.g. aluminium
smelting furnaces.
This system is suitable for processes in
which infiltrated air may flow into the
furnace through switched off burners.
The capacity can be adjusted continu-
ously by activating the control element
(analogue or 3-point step signal). The
pneumatic ratio control system controls
the gas pressure proportionally to the air
pressure and thus maintains a constant
air/gas ratio. At the same time, it acts
as a low air pressure protection device.
One burner control unit per burner is
required for ignition and monitoring.
The centrally checked safety functions
such as pre-purge, setting the valve
to ignition position via a butterfly valve
control system, tightness test, flow detec-
tor and pressure switch check (gas
