1 .1 .7 ON/OFF rotary impulse control for
burners up to 360 kW
For processes which require a turndown
of more than 10:1 and/or those which
require heavy circulation of the furnace
atmosphere to ensure a uniform tem-
perature, e.g. heat treatment furnaces
operating at low and medium tempera-
tures in the metallurgical industry.
With ON/OFF cyclic control, the capacity
supplied to the process is controlled by
means of a variable ratio of the operat-
ing time to the pause time. In this type of
control, the burner output pulse frequen-
cy always maintains full momentum and
results in maximum convection in the
furnace chamber, even with regulated
heating.
The pneumatic ratio control system con-
trols the gas pressure on the burner pro-
portionally 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.
The ignition and monitoring of the in-
dividual burners is ensured by burner
control unit BCU 560.
The centrally checked safety functions
such as pre-purge, tightness test, flow
detector and pressure switch check
(gas
