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 process-
es in which infiltrated air may flow
into the furnace through switched
off burners. The capacity can be
adjusted continuously by activating
the air control valve (analogue or
3-point step signal).
The pneumatic ratio control sys-
tem controls the gas pressure on
the burner proportionally to the air
pressure and thus maintains a con-
stant air/gas ratio. At the same time,
it acts as a low air pressure protec-
tion device.
The ignition and monitoring of the
pilot/main burners is ensured by
burner control units BCU 580.
The centrally checked safety func-
tions such as pre-purge, tightness
test, flow detector and pressure
switch check (gas
