Abstract

PURPOSE:To raise safety by converting flame current into voltage and comparing it with output of a pressure detection means to control the combustion operation of a burner and automatically and variably correcting the lower limit level of combustion control. CONSTITUTION:When the device is used at the place of 0.9 atmospheric pressure, firstly a barometer 12 outputs a direct current voltage corresponding to 0.9 atmospheric pressure and it is applied to the plus side input terminal 13 of a comparator 10. Since the output of said barometer 12 outputs a voltage which is compensated for the drop in weight oxygen concentration due to pressure drop, the output voltage of the barometer 12 can be used for predicting oxygen shortage or set at the lower level on which combustion is stopped. During continued combustion at the time when the current inputted to the input terminal 11 on negative side of the comparator 10, that is, the conversion output voltage of oxygen concentration falls bellow the voltage corresponding to 19% of volume oxygen concentration which is outputted by the barometer 12, a combustion control circuit 16 stops combustion by reversing the output of the comparator 20 to high level, and LED 20 is lighted through a NAND circuit 19, notifying a drop in oxygen concentration.
