Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for controlling gas pulse burners of a tunnel furnace, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the kiln car stock requires, i.e. the material to be burned (furnace material) stacked on a kiln car, which can be moved in cycles through a tunnel furnace, viewed in the furnace cross section, partially different heat input, in order to ultimately ensure uniform heating of all the ceramic moldings to be fired.
  • a device of the generic type has become known several times in practice - namely by a gas pulse burner control system with the switching unit of the "GI-12" type from the KELLER group of companies from D-4530 Ibbenbüren-Laggenbeck.
  • This known control device is designed in such a way that the gas is supplied in pulses into the combustion zone areas in which gas auto-ignition is ensured, and that the furnace cross-section corresponds to that a "flame profile" (or “firing profile”) for each burner group as well as the burning duration, ie the time when the gas supply is switched on, can be set within each interval of the individual gas pulse burners.
  • "Flame profile” is understood to mean the curve in the furnace cross section on which the flames of all gas pulse burners used are during the burner group activation.
  • the gas pressure is adjustable.
  • a gas supply with low and high pressure can take place alternately, in which case (each) the gas pulse burner acts one time in the upper area of the trim and the other time in the lower area of the trim and thus a better temperature distribution over the cross-sectional height of the trim (the so-called . "Stocking height") is achieved.
  • the pulse time and interval time can be set independently of one another in the known gas pulse burner control, a correction of the pulse time is necessary in order to obtain a certain "burner output" when the interval time is changed.
  • the pulse time gas burner pulse time
  • the gas pulse burner is thus switched on 60 x 0.5 seconds per minute (i.e. in operation). If the interval / cycle time is set to 2 seconds, this results in 30 pulses per minute. 30 The or each gas pulse burner would then be switched on without changing the pulse time 30 x 0.5 sec., Which means a total of 15 sec.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of providing an improved gas pulse burner control for tunnel furnaces which enables the required temperatures in the individual regions of the furnace cross section to be set in a simple and rapid manner and thereby ensures a non-reactive setting.
  • the setting of the output results in largely non-reactive setting work - as is known, only a certain burner output is required for a specific firing result. Since, in the device according to the invention, the burner output per burner is adjusted on the one hand as a fraction of the interval (ie percentage of the operating time) and, on the other hand, the pulses per minute are adjusted jointly (ie centrally) for all pulse burners, an automatic correction of the pulse time results when the pulse number changes individual gas pulse burner, because the burner output is specified and maintained.
  • a tunnel furnace 1 according to the invention is provided in particular for firing ceramic products and is equipped with a plurality of burner groups in the firing zone.
  • Each burner group comprises a large number, for example max. 15, gas pulse burner 2.
  • These gas pulse burners 2 of each burner group are preferably arranged on the tunnel furnace 1, acting from above.
  • the gas pulse burners 2 are designed in accordance with DE-PS 35 13 820, i.e. equipped with a gas supply and an air supply, so that air can be pressed through the lance body between the gas impulses.
  • the burner system can be provided for reducing burning.
  • a gas supply main valve 4 can be connected by a gas line 3 with the interposition of each branch off a main gas line, numbered 5, for each burner group.
  • each burner group preferably extend on both sides of this main gas line 5. In addition, they can be offset from one another when viewed in the width direction of the tunnel furnace 1, i.e. lie on a zigzag line (see FIG. 1).
  • each burner group has an odd number of gas pulse burners 2 - the side gas pulse burners lie one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of the tunnel furnace, and the rest are arranged in a gap in the width of the tunnel furnace.
  • connection and setting device 6 As can be seen from FIG. 2, all function control elements of a gas pulse burner group are connected to a connection and setting device 6, from which a multi-core, preferably 10-core cable 7 leads to a controller unit 8.
  • the connection and setting device 6 is equipped with a microprocessor, not shown. This microprocessor is used to calculate and comply with the values to be observed for optimal firing of the ceramic moldings - it is able to switch / control the respective preselected burner output regardless of the set number of pulses (number of pulses per minute).
  • connection and setting device 6 is advantageously located in the vicinity of the respective burner group, so that only short distances from this connection and setting device to the individual gas pulse burners are available.
  • the connection and setting device 6 can be arranged at a short distance next to the tunnel furnace 1 or even above the same.
  • the individual gas valves of the gas pulse burner 2 can be switched electrically, in particular by means of an electromagnetic valve.
  • At least some, preferably all, gas pulse burners 2 of the tunnel furnace firing zone can be operated with at least two pressure stages, so that the gas which is supplied periodically and in pulses is one time (ie at low gas pressure) in the upper region of the stocking and the other time (ie at high pressure) Gas pressure) ignites in the lower area of the firing flame - due to self-ignition due to sufficiently high temperature.
  • the solenoid valves of a main valve 4, a valve 9 for switching the second pressure stage of the gas pulse burner 2, possibly a purge air valve 10 and possibly a reduction valve 11 are connected to the connection and setting device.
  • a pressure switch 12 is connected to the connection and setting device 6.
  • connection and setting device 6 is installed in a stable housing with a separately accessible connection space. All setting and signaling elements required for operation are clearly arranged and advantageously user-friendly on the front panel behind a viewing window.
  • the participation time (reduction time) per pressure level can be set separately (for example 10-300 milliseconds).
  • the configuration switches which can only be set when a burner group is started up, are preferably located inside the device 6. A clear arrangement and good adjustability is also provided here. Specifically, the number of burners in the group is set and each gas pulse burner 2 involved in the reduction is released.
  • each gas pulse burner group is housed as a compact control unit in the connection and setting device, numbered 6. This control unit switches on up to 15 gas pulse burners 2 in succession. Each gas pulse burner 2 remains switched on for a time calculated from the preselected number of pulses and the burner on time.
  • This power is maintained at all times and always corresponds to the preselected duty cycle (e.g. 0 - 70% of 1 cycle / interval), even if the pulse frequency changes due to automatic (especially initiated by the microprocessor) change in the pulse length.
  • the preselected duty cycle e.g. 0 - 70% of 1 cycle / interval
  • the pulse length results from the following calculation:
  • All gas pulse burners 2 are started in succession and remain switched on for the calculated time.
  • the time offset between switching on the individual gas pulse burners 2 depends on the number of gas pulse burners 2 used and is calculated as follows:
  • Any flame profile can be set using the furnace cross-section.
  • the burner output is independent of the set number of pulses per minute.
  • the number of pulses per minute can be used to set the flame depending on the height of the stock (i.e. according to the requirements which depend on the height of the fired goods / stock stacked on the kiln car).
  • the dependence of the burner output on the pressure is, in a particularly preferred embodiment, determined by a factor (multiplier 1-2) for the lower one Equalized pressure.
  • the height of the flame profile is shifted as a whole (almost a parallel shift of the flame or firing profile over the furnace cross-section height).
  • the setting of the burner group is very simple because the individual settings can be carried out largely without reaction.
  • the control unit according to the invention an optimal equalization of the fire in the tunnel furnace firing zone can be achieved.
  • each burner group there is a temperature sensor (thermocouple or optical pyrometer) for a two-point controller. This switches the control unit of the device numbered 6 with a slow pulse-pause ratio on and off. This controls the desired temperature in the firing zone.
  • a temperature sensor thermocouple or optical pyrometer
  • a special feature of the control device is that the duty cycle of each gas pulse burner 2 is switched as a fraction of an interval / cycle and can be regulated.
  • Another special feature is that at least some of the gas pulse burners 2 can be operated with at least 2 stages and the switching time and / or frequency of the gas supply can be regulated separately.
  • control circuit (not shown, but can be understood by the person skilled in the art on the basis of the functional description) is that at least some, preferably all, gas pulse burners 2 of a burner group can be operated with at least two pressure stages and the duty cycle of the same in one pressure stage by means of a factor - i.e. a percentage change - is changeable; in a particularly preferred manner there is a circuit arrangement according to which the duty cycle can be extended in the low pressure stage.
  • a time setting for pressure level 1 and pressure level 2 can be provided so that the burning time can be set separately in the upper and lower firing range.
