METHOD FOR OPERATING A GAS BURNER APPLIANCE
20200072463 · 2020-03-05 ·

Method for operating a gas burner appliance (10). During burner-on-phases a gas/air mixture having a defined mixing ratio of gas and air is provided to a burner chamber (11). Said gas/air mixture is provided by a mixing device (23) mixing an air flow with a gas flow. Said mixing device (23) has at least two Venturi nozzles being connected in parallel. Said air flow is provided by a fan (14) in such a way that the fan speed of the fan (14) depends on a desired burner load. The fan speed range of the fan (14) defines a modulation range of the gas burner appliance (10). Said defined mixing ratio of gas and air of the gas/air mixture is controlled over the modulation range of the gas burner appliance (10) by a gas regulating valve (18). Said gas regulating valve (18) has a pneumatic controller (24) controlling the mixing ratio of gas and air on basis of a pressure difference between the gas pressure of the gas flow in the gas pipe (16) and a reference pressure. During burner-on-phases the combustion quality is monitored on basis of a signal provided by a combustion quality sensor. The defined mixing ratio of gas and air of the gas/air mixture can be calibrated during on basis of the signal provided by the combustion quality sensor, namely by adjusting during calibration a position of a throttle (17). The calibration of the gas/air mixture is performed in such a way that for calibration at least one of the Venturi nozzles (28) of the mixing device (23) is closed while at least one of the Venturi nozzles (28) of the mixing device (23) is opened.

Combustion apparatus
10571120 · 2020-02-25 · ·

In a combustion apparatus provided with: a combustion box having a connection flange part for connecting a heat exchanger to an upper end of the combustion box; a partition plate disposed inside the combustion box for partitioning space inside the combustion box into a combustion chamber and an air supply chamber which lies under the combustion chamber; and a plurality of laterally arrayed burners which are elongated longitudinally, the internal volume of the combustion box is increased without increasing a height dimension or without enlarging the connection flange part, thereby restraining the occurrence of resonance sounds. A drawn part projecting laterally outward of the combustion box is provided in such a portion of each side-plate part as is above the partition plate, over a predetermined range in the vertical and longitudinal directions. An upper side of the drawn part is preferably positioned below the upper end of the burners, and is preferably parallel with the upper end of the burners.
