Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an ignition apparatus, more particularly, to an ignition apparatus which ignites a gas generated by a burner in a boiler.
  • the efficient control of combustion relates to the efficient control of the fuel and combustion oxidant, usually air. Efficient control of combustion is essential in the power industry, chemical industry, and various other process industries.
  • the control of combustion can be used in not only the industrial application, but also boilers at apartments or houses.
  • boilers are classified as a gas boiler or an oil boiler according to the fuel to being used.
  • the gas boiler uses gas as the fuel, it does not generate waste gas which would contaminate the environment in comparison with the oil boiler. Further, the gas boiler is easy to manage. Accordingly, it has been widely used in many houses or apartments.
  • the gas boiler uses a liquefied petroleum gas(LPG) or a liquefied natural gas(LNG), and heats water with high temperature heat generated by the fuel combustion in the burner.
  • the heated water with high temperature is circulated through pipes installed in the room, and then heats the space of the room. Also, the boiler may supply warm water to a kitchen or bathroom.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,863,372 (issued to Don A. Berlincourt on September 5, 1989) discloses a gas ignition apparatus for igniting gas flowing from a burner and more particularly to an apparatus which ensures that a heat-type ignition device has reached ignition temperature before gas is allowed to flow from the burner.

  • a heat exchanger 108 is mounted to an upper portion of the burner 106 and applies heat to the heating water by using combustion heat generated by the burner 106.
  • An air inlet 110 is formed at an upper back portion of the body 104 and air necessary to burn a gas is introduced through the air inlet 110.
  • the air introduced through the air inlet 110 is supplied into the combustion chamber 102 by means of a fan 114.
  • An air outlet 112 is formed at an upper center portion of the body 104 and an exhaust gas within the combustion chamber 102 is discharged through the air outlet 112.

  • An ignition transformer 116 is mounted to one end of the control circuit 115 and generates a high voltage necessary to ignite the burner 106.
  • the high voltage generated by the ignition transformer 116 is supplied to a spark plug 118.
  • FIG. 2 is a circuitry diagram for showing a configuration of the ignition apparatus 200 shown in FIG. 1.
  • the ignition apparatus 200 includes an ignition transformer 116, a spark plug 118, a power supply 202, and a high voltage cable 204.

  • the heating water is returned to a water tank 130.
  • the fan 114 rotates at high speed to ventilate the inside of the combustion chamber 102 and then rotates at low speed.
  • the gas valve 122 is opened and external gas is supplied to the burner 106.
  • the supplied gas is ignited by a high voltage discharge of the spark plug 118. Accordingly, the heating water or the hot water which is heated or exchange-heated by the combustion heat is fed to the kitchen or the bathroom through the warm water tube.
  • the ignition transformer 116 is mounted at one side of the control circuit 115 and the high voltage cable 204 is mounted between the ignition transformer 116 and the spark plug 118, discharge noise of a high voltage generated by the ignition transformer 116 and the high voltage cable 204 affects a main printed circuit board which is mounted at the control circuit 130 to thereby generate a wrong operation of the control circuit 130.
  • the ignition transformer 116 and the spark plug 16 are mounted at different positions, an expensive high voltage cable 161 should be connected between the ignition transformer 116 and the spark plug 118. Therefore, manufacturing cost is increased.
  • an ignition apparatus for a boiler having a burner for performing a combustion operation of an incoming gas, and a control circuit for controlling all functions of the boiler, said apparatus comprising:

  • a gas supply pipe 320 supplies external gas into the burner 306.
  • a gas valve 322 is mounted at one end of the gas supply pipe 320 and controls the supply of gas into the burner 306.
