4 Burner control
22.05.2018
Perform gas valve proving during shutdown.
Caution!
The evacuation and filling times as well as the test times at atmospheric
pressure or mains pressure must be set by the OEM, for each individual plant
and in accordance with the requirements of EN 1643.
In particular, it must be ensured that the 2 test times are set correctly. It must also be
checked whether – on the specific application – it is permitted to introduce into the
combustion chamber the gas required for testing.
The test times are safety-related.
After a reset, or in the event gas valve proving has been aborted or prevented, the
burner control effects gas valve proving during the next startup sequence (only if gas
valve proving is activated).
Example of aborted gas valve proving:
When the safety loop or the start prevention input for gas (containing pressure switch-
min) opens during the time gas valve proving is performed.
The input for the valve proving function can also be used for the CPI (valve closure
contact).
Β
Note!
If gas valve proving is parameterized to take place with
startup
and
shutdown
, the gas
valves must perform additional switching cycles. This means that wear and tear of the
gas valves will increase.
