Definitions

  • the invention relates to a control device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a control device of this type known from DE-OS 30 10 737, a temperature sensor controls the main valve of a gas control device via a servo pressure controller, the control pressure at the same time also having a throttle valve in the combustion air supply line via a separate diaphragm drive the gas valve.
  • DE-OS 31 47 857 a similar control device is known, in which a temperature sensor measuring the heat demand does not act on the gas control valve, but also acts via a servo pressure controller on an air control valve connected downstream of a blower, and the control pressure of this servo pressure controller arranged on the air control valve via a connecting line is also fed to the diaphragm actuator of the gas valve. Furthermore, it is known from DE-OS 31 14 954 that the control of the amount of combustion air can be changed either, as mentioned, by an air control valve connected downstream of the fan or by speed control of the fan itself.
  • the object of the invention is to improve a control device of the type mentioned with regard to its function and also its safety.
  • the control module is not connected to a gas line as in DE-OS 30 10 737, but is operated with compressed air from the blower. It can therefore be arranged in the immediate vicinity of the gas valve without impairing safety and, if necessary, connected to the blower or the pressure measurement inputs in the air duct via longer flexible lines. Even with low drafts and therefore low differential pressure, it generates a sufficiently high pneumatic control signal for the diaphragm actuator of the gas control valve due to its amplifying effect. At the same time, this ensures that the amount of gas supplied is tracked proportionally to the amount of air, even with a low throughput, and thus the best possible combustion is also ensured in this case.
  • Advantageous embodiments of the invention result from the subclaims.
  • a heat exchanger 1 is connected via a flow line 2 and a return line 3 to a consumer, not shown.
  • a temperature sensor 4 measures the flow temperature of the hot water supplied to the consumer and delivers a corresponding signal to the actual value input 5 of the temperature controller 6. This receives at its setpoint input 7, for example from a manual adjuster a signal corresponding to the desired temperature. It controls, for example, the power supply to the motor 8 of the fan 9 via a converter.
  • the compressed air is fed via the air duct 10 to the burner 11, which, like the heat exchanger 1, is arranged in an otherwise closed combustion chamber 12.
  • the exhaust gases leave the combustion chamber 12 through the flue gas outlet 13.
  • the gas to be burned is fed to a gas nozzle 14 in the feed line 10 to the burner 11 from a gas control valve 15.
  • the structure of the gas control valve corresponds, for example, to the applicant's combination valve V4700.
  • a main valve is connected between its inlet 26 and its outlet 27, which consists of a closing body 28 and a valve seat 29.
  • the closing body 28 is biased in the closing direction via a valve rod 30 and a spring 31.
  • the valve rod bears against the working diaphragm 32 of the servo pressure regulator.
  • the closing body 35 of a closing solenoid valve is switched from the rest position shown to the opposite position via a magnetic drive 33 and the spring-loaded actuating rod 34. It then closes the passage 36.
  • gas passes from the inlet 26 via a throttle 37 into the space 38 and from there into the diaphragm chamber 39 of the main valve 28 to 32.
  • the pressure in the drive chamber 39 moves the diaphragm 32 downward and opens the main valve 28, 29. Gas thus passes from inlet 26 to outlet 27 and from there via line 40 to gas nozzle 14 on burner 11.
  • the pressure at the outlet 27 of the gas control valve is simultaneously supplied via the channel 41 to the chamber 42 on the side of the control membrane 43 carrying the closing body 21 facing away from the control membrane 18.
  • a spring 54 which serves to adjust the zero point acts on the control diaphragm 18 and is supported on the housing side by an adjusting screw 52. By adjusting this adjusting screw 52 in the thread of the bushing 53, the force exerted by the spring 54 on the control membrane 18 can be changed.
  • the pressure at the outlet 27 passes through the channel 44 into the chamber 45 below the membrane 49.
  • This carries one with one Valve seat 51 cooperating closing body 50.
  • a compression spring 47 acts on the diaphragm 49 in the closing direction of this servo valve, which is supported on the housing side via an adjusting screw 46 in the thread of the bushing 48.
  • the maximum gas pressure can be set and limited with the adjusting screw 46.
  • the servo pressure regulator consisting of diaphragm 49, spring 47 and closing body 50 in connection with the seat 51, is used to limit the maximum gas pressure, as in the valve series V4700 mentioned at the beginning.
  • the closing force of the closing body 50 on the seat 51 is set higher with the spring 47, all the closing force of the closing body 21 on the seat 22.
  • the second servo valve formed by the control membrane 43 serves the closing body 21 and the seat 22 in connection with the springs 20 and 54 the zero point setting for the control curve of air and gas volume.
  • the valve seat 22 of the servo valve 21, 22 is connected to the chamber 38 via the line 55. It has the same pressure on it as it acts in the chamber 39 on the membrane 32 of the drive for the main valve 28, 29. If the pressure at the outlet 27 and thus in the channels 41 and 44 increases and the force generated by it by means of the control membrane 43 overcomes that which acts on the membrane 18 from the opposite side through the spring 20, the closing body 21 lifts from the valve seat 22 and the working pressure in the chamber 38 can be reduced via the line 55, the valve seat 22, the chamber 42 and the channel 41 to the outlet 27. This is the usual process of regulating a servo pressure regulator. This pressure is controlled by the pressure difference on lines 16 and 17 and thus as a function of the air throughput in the air supply duct 10.
  • the amount of gas supplied to the burner 11 via the nozzle 14 is therefore continuously tracked to the amount of air conveyed by the blower 9.
  • the area ratio of the membranes 18 and 43 determines the gain factor of the control module 19.
  • the switch-on valve 35, 36 returns to the rest position shown in the drawing under the force of its closing spring, and the control pressure in the chamber 38 is reduced via the valve seat 36 to the outlet 27.
  • the main valve 28, 29 closes.
  • the control module 19 is arranged as close as possible to the gas control valve 15.
  • the use of a separate control module that is not integrated in the gas control valve has the advantage that one can set different gain factors of the control module either by replacing the membranes 18 and / or 43 or by exchanging the control module itself and thus the control device to the respective circumstances of the respective device without changes to the gas control valve Can adapt burner system and combustion chamber.
  • the considerable gain and the resulting high closing force of the closing body 21 ensures reliable pressure control of the gas control valve.
  • the arrangement of the amplifier or control membrane 18 and the control membrane 43 close to each other in a special control module 19 leads to improved control properties and increased stability of the outlet pressure of the gas control valve.
  • the latter can be designed as a standard device for different applications and, depending on the type of application, is combined with a correspondingly dimensioned control module. Since the area of the membranes 18 and 43 can be freely selected, relatively high amplification factors can be achieved. For reasons of space alone, this would not be possible if these membranes were integrated in the gas control valve.
  • the control module can be arranged anywhere alongside the gas control valve. In particular when using flexible connecting cables, the control module can be accommodated in a heater at the point where there is sufficient space available. It can also be easily adjusted and adjusted there.
  • the flexible line connection of the control module to the air supply duct 10 makes it possible to select the cheapest and most suitable location for the inputs 23 and 63 for a stable mode of operation.
  • this maximum pressure can also be limited by limiting the maximum stroke of the control membrane 18 by an adjustable stop.
