Burner control unit BCU 570 controls, ignites and monitors individual or forced draught burners of unlimited capacity in intermittent or continuous operation. The BMS is an engineered hazard control used by oil and gas operators to ensure the safe start-up, operation, and shut down of a process heater. It also helps to save fuel costs, minimize maintenance, improve uptime, and creates a safe environment for the personnel working near the heater.The thermostatic control may throttle the burner flame or shut it off completely and re-ignite the burner when needed.
Because of this, the capability of a burner is determined by the level of the combustion system. Combustion canister, impeller for forced air blower, flame plate, oil cannon, gas core tube and built-in or external diffuser are all components of this component of the product. Larger burners are controlled with a combination of a CCS and a burner management system (BMS). The BMS determines if there will be a fire or not, and is primarily responsible for shutting down the system if conditions become unsafe, as well as enforcing purge requirements on restart.
Control valves regulate gas pressure to the burners. Turning the burner knob on all the way triggers an electrical spark at an igniter that ignites the gas. At a basic level, burners are devices used to mix fuel and air (or oxygen) to achieve controlled combustion while producing a specific flame and heat-release pattern. The heat generated is used to control the temperature within a combustion chamber to the process setpoints.
