The burner control unit BCU 565 switches the burner BIC..M
ON/OFF in cycles. Burner BIC..M is controlled without pneu-
matic air/gas ratio control system. The gas supply pressure
is controlled by the gas pressure regulator VAD; the required
burner capacity is set using the fine-adjusting valve VMV. The
capacity is controlled by actuator IC 40 and butterfly valve BVH.
An air pressure switch upstream of the burner monitors the
functioning of the butterfly valve. In addition, air/gas ratio
monitoring for the zone or the furnace is required.
As soon as the safety temperature monitor STM signals a
furnace temperature of ≥ 850°C (1562°F), the burner can be
switched to flameless combustion (menox
®
low NO
x
mode)
to significantly reduce NO
x
emissions.
Switching to menox
®
low NO
x
mode eliminates the counter-
pressure by the flame in the ceramic tube TSC. At a constant
gas supply pressure, the gas volume increases by approxi-
mately 15%. In menox
®
low NO
x
mode, the butterfly valve
moves to a smaller open position which has been adapted
to the pressure ratios.
