  • a measured value representing the combustion and / or characterizing a combustion signal in particular a light intensity, a pollutant emission, a temperature and / or advantageously an ionization signal.
  • measuring the combustion parameter is meant a direct detection of a measured value by a sensor provided for this purpose or receiving a measured value detected by an external device.
  • a measured combustion parameter is stored in a memory.
  • a measurement of the combustion parameter can take place at specific times and / or at time intervals and / or substantially continuously.
  • a “calibration value” is intended to be a characteristic value derived from a detected combustion parameter which is suitable for regulating and / or calibrating the heating system.
  • the calibration value may be the value of the combustion parameter under certain operating parameters and / or operating conditions.
  • the calibration value can also be a value derived from a stored time characteristic of the combustion parameter, for example a local maximum of the combustion parameter.

  • the method is further improved if the determination of the inspection time depends on one or the burner performance parameter, in particular one or the fan speed, and / or if available, the quality threshold depends on the burner performance parameter, in particular the fan speed.
  • the time of inspection is a function of calibration values determined with different burner performance parameters. This makes it possible to check particularly frequently whether an inspection is necessary. This makes the determination of the inspection time particularly reliable.

  • the normal operation of the heating system 46 is interrupted and the heating system 46 passes through a substantially complete power range.
  • the heating system 46 is operated with different values of the burner output parameter 70, which are arranged substantially uniformly between a minimum burner output parameter and a maximum burner output parameter.
  • the calibration value 62 is determined and stored in the control unit 18. With the aid of the calibration value 62 for different burner power parameters 70 determined in this way, the desired combustion characteristic curve stored in the control unit 18 is largely completely updated.
  • the calibration value 62 is a combustion parameter maximum 76.
  • the combustion parameter 64 is an ionization current 66.
  • the ionization current 66 is known to have a combustion parameter maximum 76 at a value of 1 for a fuel / air ratio. Therefore, the combustion parameter maximum 76 is a suitable calibration value 62.
  • the calibration value 62 is a combustion averaged parameter 64 over time.
  • the calibration value 62 is a value of Combustion parameter 64, which is largely constant over sufficiently large, preferably contiguous time periods.
  • the combustion parameter 64 is an ionization stream 66.
  • the ionization stream 66 is determined by an ionization current measurement on a flame 40 of the heating system 46.
  • the ionization current 66 is determined by the ionization probe 42 and transmitted to the control unit 18.
  • the combustion parameter 64 is a light intensity, a lambda value, a pollutant emission and / or a temperature.
  • the light intensity at the flame 40 is determined by a photodiode.
  • the lambda value is measured with a lambda probe in an exhaust gas.
  • the exhaust system 38 has the lambda probe.
  • the pollutant emission is determined by a sensor device, which is located on the flame 40 and / or in the exhaust system 38.
  • the temperature is determined by a contact thermometer and / or a non-contact thermometer, in particular a pyrometer. The thermometer may be located in the exhaust system 38 and / or the flame 40 measured.
