Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、燃焼装置の制御方法に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
たとえば、ボイラなどに用いられる燃焼装置においては、燃焼停止中、燃料弁の漏れにより、前記ボイラの燃焼室内へ燃料が流入した場合、そのまま点火動作を行うと、前記燃焼室内の残留ガスが引火し、爆発する危険性がある。そこで、前記燃焼装置においては、通常、点火動作を行う前に、送風機からの新鮮な空気によって前記燃焼室内から残留ガスを排出する,いわゆるプレパージ動作が行われている。
【0003】
ところで、前記燃焼装置において、燃料の漏れの有無に拘わらず、前記プレパージ動作を行ってから前記点火動作を開始しているため、前記プレパージ動作が前記燃焼装置の負荷追従性の向上の妨げとなっている。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
この発明が解決しようとする課題は、簡易な方法にて燃焼装置の負荷追従性を向上させることである。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
この発明は、前記課題を解決するためになされたもので、請求項1に記載の発明は、燃料供給ラインに直列に設けられた上流側の第一燃料弁と下流側の第二燃料弁とを有する二重遮断弁に前記第一燃料弁および前記第二燃料弁の間の圧力を検出する圧力検出手段を設けた燃焼装置の制御方法であって、前記第一燃料弁を閉じ、第一設定時間後、前記第二燃料弁を閉じ、この状態において前記圧力検出手段による圧力の変化に基づいて前記第一燃焼弁の漏れを検出し、この漏れ量が許容値以下の場合、前記プレパージ動作時の風量よりも少ない風量のパージ動作を行いながら前記燃焼装置を待機させることを特徴としている。
【0006】
さらに、請求項2に記載の発明は、前記第二燃料弁を閉じた後、さらに第二設定時間後、前記第一燃料弁を一旦開き、再び閉じた状態において、前記圧力検出手段による圧力の変化に基づいて前記第二燃料弁の漏れを検出し、この漏れ量が許容値以下の場合、前記プレパージ動作時の風量よりも少ない風量のパージ動作を行いながら前記燃焼装置を待機させること特徴としている。
【0008】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、この発明の実施の形態について説明する。この発明の制御方法は、ボイラや加熱炉などに用いられる燃焼装置において実施することができる。前記燃焼装置は、燃料供給ラインと送風機とを備えている。前記燃料供給ラインには、燃料弁が設けられている。この燃料弁は、通常、2個の燃料弁を直列に接続してなる二重遮断弁として構成されている。
【0009】
そして、前記燃焼装置は、点火動作を行う前にプレパージ動作を行うようになっている。このプレパージ動作は、前記燃料弁を閉じたまま、前記送風機を作動させることにより、前記燃焼室内の残留ガスを排出する動作である。また、前記燃焼装置は、燃焼動作を停止した後にポストパージ動作を行うようになっている。このポストパージ動作は、前記プレパージ動作と同様、前記燃料弁を閉じたまま、前記送風機を作動させることにより、前記燃焼室内の残留ガスを排出する動作である。
【0010】
さて、この発明の制御方法は、前記燃料弁の漏れ状態を検出する手段(以下、「漏れ検出手段」と云う)の異常の有無の検出結果基づいて、前記プレパージ動作を調整する制御方法である。
【0011】
前記漏れ検出手段としては、圧力検出手段,流量検出手段,流速検出手段などを用いることができる。これらの検出手段によって、前記燃料弁が閉じられているとき、前記燃料弁の下流側への燃料の流れを検出することにより、前記燃料弁の漏れ状態,すなわち漏れの有無や漏れ量を検出する。とくに、前記燃料弁が前記二重遮断弁として構成されている場合、前記漏れ検出手段として圧力検出手段を用いることができる。この場合、前記圧力検出手段により、前記各燃料弁を選択的に開閉したときの前記各燃料弁間の圧力の変化を監視することによって、前記各燃料弁の漏れ状態を検出する。
【0012】
つぎに、この発明の制御方法について説明する。この制御方法において、まず前記漏れ検出手段によって前記燃料弁の漏れ状態を検出する。この漏れ状態の検出は、たとえば前記燃焼装置の燃焼停止時または待機中に行う。そして、前記漏れ状態の検出結果に基づいて、前記プレパージ動作を調整する。以下では、前記検出結果に基づく、前記プレパージ動作の調整について説明する。
【0013】
まず、前記燃料弁に漏れが検出されなかった場合について説明する。この場合、前記プレパージ動作を省略し、前記点火動作を行う。
【0014】
つぎに、前記燃料弁に漏れが検出された場合について説明する。この場合、前記漏れ状態の検出結果は、前記漏れ量が許容値以下の場合とこの許容値より多い場合とがある。ここで、前記許容値は、前記燃料弁から漏れた燃料が、前記燃焼室内へ流入したとしても、引火による爆発の危険性がない量に基づいて決定した値である。さて、前記漏れ量が前記許容値以下の場合、前記プレパージ動作後、前記点火動作を行う。つぎに、前記漏れ量が前記許容値よりも多い場合は、前記燃料弁の漏れを検出した時点で前記ポストパージを継続して行う。
【0015】
以上のように、この発明の制御方法によれば、前記燃料弁の漏れがないとき、安全が確認されたとして、前記プレパージ動作を省略して、前記点火動作を行うことができる。したがって、前記燃焼装置における負荷追従性を向上させることができる。しかも、前記プレパージ動作の省略により、前記プレパージに必要な動力の削減を行うことができるので、省エネルギー化を図ることができる。
【0016】
つぎに、この発明の制御方法において、前記燃料弁に漏れが検出された場合の他の制御形態について説明する。この制御形態においては、燃焼停止後、前記漏れ状態の検出結果に応じて、前記プレパージ動作時の風量よりも少ない風量のパージ動作を行いながら待機するように制御する方法である。すなわち、前記燃料弁の漏れ量が前記許容値以下の場合、前記漏れ量に応じた必要最小限のパージ動作を行う方法である。前記パージ動作により、待機中に前記燃焼室内へ流入した燃料を前記燃焼室から確実に排除することができるので、前記着火動作時に引火による爆発を防止することができる。ここで、この制御形態の場合、再度前記燃焼要求があったときは、それまでに前記パージ動作を継続しているため、前記プレパージ動作を省略して前記着火動作を行うことができる。
【0017】
【実施例】
以下、この発明の具体的実施例を図面に基づいて説明する。図1は、この発明を実施するボイラの一例を概略的に示す説明図であり、図2は、この発明の制御方法における燃料弁の漏れ状態の検出方法を模式的に示す説明図である。ここで、この実施例は、ボイラにおける燃焼装置に適用した実施例である。前記燃焼装置は、オンオフ制御式の燃焼装置である。
【0018】
まず、図1を参照しながら、ボイラの基本構成について説明する。図1において、ボイラ1の上部には、燃焼装置2が設けられている。この燃焼装置2には、第一燃料弁3および第二燃料弁4を備えた燃料供給ライン5が接続されている。前記各燃料弁3,4は、前記燃料供給ライン5に直列に設けられており、前記燃焼装置2の燃焼動作の開始時には、前記両燃料弁3,4を開き、燃焼動作の停止時には前記両燃料弁3,4を閉じるようになっている。すなわち、前記各燃料弁3,4は、二重遮断弁として構成されている。
【0019】
また、前記燃焼装置2には、燃焼用空気の供給と、プレパージやポストパージなどのパージ用空気の供給のための送風機6が設けられている。
【0020】
つぎに、前記ボイラ1の制御構成について説明する。まず、前記両燃料弁3,4および前記送風機6は、回線7,7,…を介して、制御器8にそれぞれ接続されている。そして、前記制御器8は、予め設定されたプログラムにしたがい、前記ボイラ1の負荷の状況,すなわち前記ボイラ1の缶内圧の検出値に基づいて、前記両燃料弁3,4および前記送風機6のそれぞれを制御することにより、前記ボイラ1の燃焼制御を行うように構成されている。すなわち、前記缶内圧に応じて、前記燃焼装置2を燃焼,待機の二位置でオンオフ制御する。
【0021】
ここで、前記燃焼装置2の基本的な制御内容について説明する。まず、前記燃焼装置2を燃焼動作させる場合には、前記各燃料弁3,4を閉じたまま、前記送風機6を運転することによって、プレパージ動作を行う。そして、所定時間、前記プレパージ動作を行った後、前記両燃料弁3,4を開いて点火動作を行い、燃焼動作を開始する。つぎに、燃焼動作を終了させる場合には、前記両燃料弁3,4を閉じて消火を行う。そして、前記両燃料弁3,4を閉じた後も所定時間継続させて前記送風機6を作動させることにより、ポストパージ動作を行う。
【0022】
さて、つぎにこの発明の制御方法において使用する前記各燃料弁3,4の漏れ状態の検出手段(以下、「漏れ検出手段」と云う)9について説明する。
【0023】
前記漏れ検出手段9は、圧力検出手段であって、前記燃料供給ライン5における前記各燃料弁3,4間に設けられている。前記漏れ検出手段9は、前記回線7を介して、前記制御器8に接続されており、前記制御器8によって、前記各燃料弁3,4間の圧力の変化を監視することができるようになっている。そして、前記漏れ検出手段9は、前記各燃料弁3,4を選択的に開閉させたときの前記各燃料弁3,4間の圧力の変化に基づいて、前記各燃料弁3,4の漏れ状態を検出するようになっている。
【0024】
つぎに、前記各燃料弁3,4の漏れ状態の検出方法について、図2を参照しながら説明する。まず、前記各燃料弁3,4の漏れ状態の検出は、前記燃焼装置2の燃焼停止時、前記ポストパージ動作を行っているときに行う。まず、前記各燃料弁3,4を閉じて燃焼動作を終了させる。このとき、まず上流側の前記第一燃料弁3を閉じ、第一設定時間A後、下流側の前記第二燃料弁4を閉じる。前記第二燃料弁4を閉じた時点では、前記両燃料弁3,4間の圧力は、前記ボイラ1の燃焼室内の圧力(以下、「炉圧」と云う)となる。そして、第二設定時間Bの間、前記両燃料弁3,4を閉じた状態を維持する。つぎに、前記第二設定時間Bが経過する間、前記漏れ検出手段9によって、前記両燃料弁3,4間の圧力の変化を監視する。この状態において、前記両燃料弁3,4間の圧力が変化しない場合(図2に実線で図示)は、前記第一燃料弁3の漏れはないと判断する。逆に、前記両燃料弁3,4間の圧力が上昇した場合(図2に点線で図示)は、前記第一燃料弁3に漏れが生じていると判断する。
【0025】
つぎに、前記第二設定時間B経過後、前記第一燃料弁3を一旦開いた後、再び閉じる。すると、前記第一燃料弁3を再び閉じたとき、前記両燃料弁3,4間の圧力は、前記燃料供給ライン5における燃料供給圧となる。この燃料供給圧(以下、単に「供給圧」と云う)は、前記炉圧よりも高い圧力である。そして、第三設定時間Cの間、前記両燃料弁3,4を閉じた状態を維持する。前記第三設定時間Cが経過する間、前記漏れ検出手段9によって、前記両燃料弁3,4間の圧力の変化を監視する。この状態において、前記両燃料弁3,4間の圧力が変化しない場合(図2に実線で図示)は、前記第二燃料弁4の漏れはないと判断する。逆に、前記両燃料弁3,4間の圧力が低下した場合(図2に一点鎖線で図示)は、前記第二燃料弁4に漏れが生じていると判断する。
【0026】
そして、前記各燃料弁3,4の漏れの有無の判断結果に基づき、前記両燃料弁3,4のいずれか一方または両方に漏れがないと判断されたときは、前記両燃料弁3,4から前記燃焼室への燃料の漏れはないと判断する。一方、前記両燃料弁3,4に漏れが生じていると判断されたときは、前記燃焼室へ燃料が漏れていると判断する。
【0027】
さらに、前記漏れ検出手段9は、前記両燃料弁3,4に漏れが検出された場合、このと
きの漏れ量が許容値以下か否かを検出する。すなわち、前記第一燃料弁3を再び閉じてから、前記両燃料弁3,4間における圧力が、所定圧力,たとえば前記炉圧まで低下するまでの時間Dを計測し、この時間Dの長さに基づいて前記漏れ量を検出する。ここで、前記許容値は、前記各燃料弁3,4から漏れた燃料が、前記燃焼室内へ流入したとしても、引火による爆発の危険性がない量に基づいて決定した値である。
【0028】
つぎに、前記制御器8の制御内容とともに、この発明の制御方法について説明する。まず、前記制御器8は、前記燃焼装置2の燃焼停止時において、前記ポストパージ動作中に前記漏れ検出手段9によって前記各燃料弁3,4の漏れを検出する。そして、前記漏れ状態の検出結果に基づいて、前記プレパージ動作を調整する。つぎに、前記検出結果に基づいた前記プレパージ動作の調整について詳細に説明する。
【0029】
まず、前記漏れ検出手段9によって前記各燃料弁3,4の漏れが検出されなかった場合について説明する。この場合、前記プレパージ動作を省略し、前記点火動作を行って燃焼動作へ移行する。
【0030】
つぎに、前記各燃料弁3,4に漏れが検出された場合について説明する。この場合、前記漏れ状態の検出結果は、前記のように、前記漏れ量が前記許容値以下の場合と前記許容値より多い場合とがある。まず、前記漏れ量が前記許容値以下の場合は、前記燃焼要求があったとき、前記プレパージ動作を開始する。そして、前記プレパージ動作後、点火を行う。
【0031】
つぎに、前記漏れ量が前記許容値よりも多い場合は、前記各燃料弁3,4の漏れを検出した時点で、前記ポストパージ動作を継続して行うとともに、以後前記点火動作に移行するのを阻止する。そして、前記各燃料弁3,4に漏れが発生している旨の異常を報知する。
【0032】
以上のように、この制御方法によれば、前記各燃料弁3,4の漏れがないとき、安全が確認されたとして、前記プレパージ動作を省略して、前記点火動作を行うことができる。したがって、前記燃焼装置2における負荷追従性を向上させることができる。しかも、前記プレパージ動作の省略により、前記プレパージに必要な動力の削減を行うことができるので、省エネルギー化を図ることができる。また、燃料弁の漏れの程度に応じて、安全性を確保した制御を行うことができる。
【0033】
つぎに、前記各燃料弁3,4に漏れが検出された場合における他の制御形態について説明する。この制御形態においては、燃焼停止後、前記漏れ状態の検出結果に応じて、前記プレパージ動作時の風量よりも少ない風量のパージ動作を行いながら前記燃焼装置2を待機させるように制御する。すなわち、前記各燃料弁3,4の漏れ量が前記許容値以下の場合、前記燃焼装置2の待機中、前記漏れ量に応じた必要最小限のパージ動作を継続して行うことによって、前記燃焼室内から燃料を排除する。すると、前記着火動作時に引火による爆発を防止することができる。ここで、この制御形態の場合には、再度前記燃焼要求があったときは、前記プレパージ動作を省略することもできる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for controlling a combustion apparatus.
[0002]
[Prior art]
For example, in a combustion apparatus used in a boiler or the like, if the fuel flows into the combustion chamber of the boiler due to a fuel valve leak while combustion is stopped, the residual gas in the combustion chamber is ignited if ignition is performed as it is. Risk of explosion. Therefore, in the combustion apparatus, a so-called pre-purge operation is generally performed in which residual gas is discharged from the combustion chamber with fresh air from a blower before performing an ignition operation.
[0003]
By the way, in the combustion device, the ignition operation is started after the pre-purge operation is performed regardless of the presence or absence of fuel leakage. Therefore, the pre-purge operation hinders improvement in load followability of the combustion device. ing.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The problem to be solved by the present invention is to improve the load followability of the combustion apparatus by a simple method .
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and the invention according to claim 1 is directed to an upstream first fuel valve and a downstream second fuel valve provided in series in a fuel supply line. A combustion apparatus control method comprising a double shutoff valve having pressure detecting means for detecting a pressure between the first fuel valve and the second fuel valve, wherein the first fuel valve is closed, After the set time, the second fuel valve is closed, and in this state, leakage of the first combustion valve is detected based on a change in pressure by the pressure detection means. It is characterized in that the combustion apparatus is made to stand by while performing a purging operation with an air volume smaller than the current air volume .
[0006]
Furthermore, in the invention according to claim 2, the second fuel valve is closed, and further, after the second set time, the first fuel valve is once opened and then closed again. The leakage of the second fuel valve is detected based on the change, and when the amount of leakage is less than or equal to an allowable value, the combustion apparatus is made to stand by while performing a purge operation with an air volume smaller than that during the pre-purge operation. Yes.
[0008]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. The control method of the present invention can be implemented in a combustion apparatus used in a boiler, a heating furnace, or the like. The combustion apparatus includes a fuel supply line and a blower. The fuel supply line is provided with a fuel valve. This fuel valve is usually configured as a double shutoff valve in which two fuel valves are connected in series.
[0009]
The combustion apparatus performs a pre-purge operation before performing the ignition operation. This pre-purge operation is an operation for discharging residual gas in the combustion chamber by operating the blower while the fuel valve is closed. The combustion apparatus performs a post-purge operation after stopping the combustion operation. Similar to the pre-purge operation, this post-purge operation is an operation of discharging residual gas in the combustion chamber by operating the blower while the fuel valve is closed.
[0010]
Now, the control method of the present invention, a control method of said means for detect the leakage state of the fuel valve (hereinafter, referred to as "leak detector") on the basis of the detection result of the presence or absence of the abnormality, to adjust the pre-purge operation It is.
[0011]
As the leak detection means, a pressure detection means, a flow rate detection means, a flow velocity detection means, or the like can be used. By these detection means, when the fuel valve is closed, the fuel flow to the downstream side of the fuel valve is detected to detect the leakage state of the fuel valve, that is, the presence / absence of leakage and the amount of leakage. . In particular, when the fuel valve is configured as the double shutoff valve, a pressure detection means can be used as the leak detection means. In this case, a leakage state of each fuel valve is detected by monitoring a change in pressure between the fuel valves when the fuel valves are selectively opened and closed by the pressure detecting means .
[0012]
The next, a description will be given of a control method of the present invention. In this control method, first, the leakage state of the fuel valve is detected by the leakage detection means. The detection of the leakage state is performed, for example, when the combustion apparatus is stopped or on standby . And, the based on the detection result of the leak condition, adjusting said pre-purge operation. Hereinafter, brute based on the detection result, a description will be given of adjustment of the pre-purge operation.
[0013]
First, a case where no leak is detected in the fuel valve will be described. In this case, to omit the pre-purge operation, it performs the ignition operation.
[0014]
Next, a case where a leak is detected in the fuel valve will be described. In this case, the detection result of the leakage state includes a case where the leakage amount is less than or equal to an allowable value and a case where the leakage amount is greater than the allowable value. Here, the allowable value is a value determined based on an amount that does not pose a risk of explosion due to ignition even if fuel leaked from the fuel valve flows into the combustion chamber. Now, if the leak amount is less than the allowable value, after the pre-purge operation, performs the ignition operation. Next, when the leakage amount is larger than the allowable value, the post purge is continuously performed when the leakage of the fuel valve is detected.
[0015]
As described above, according to the control method of the present invention, when there is no leakage of the fuel valve, it is possible to omit the pre-purge operation and perform the ignition operation on the assumption that safety is confirmed. Therefore, load followability in the combustion apparatus can be improved. In addition, by omitting the pre-purge operation, the power required for the pre-purge can be reduced, so that energy saving can be achieved.
[0016]
Next, in the control method of the present invention, another control mode when a leak is detected in the fuel valve will be described. In this control mode, after the combustion is stopped, control is performed so as to stand by while performing a purge operation with an air volume smaller than that during the pre-purge operation, according to the detection result of the leakage state. In other words, when the leakage amount of the fuel valve is equal to or less than the allowable value, the minimum purge operation corresponding to the leakage amount is performed. By the purge operation, the fuel that has flowed into the combustion chamber during standby can be surely removed from the combustion chamber, so that explosion due to ignition during the ignition operation can be prevented. Here, in the case of this control mode, when the combustion request is made again, since the purge operation has been continued until then, the pre-purge operation can be omitted and the ignition operation can be performed.
[0017]
【Example】
Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 is an example of a boiler embodying the present invention is an explanatory view schematically illustrating, FIG. 2, a method of detecting leakage state of the fuel valve Ru described Zudea schematically illustrating the control method of the present invention . Here, this embodiment is an embodiment applied to a combustion apparatus in a boiler. The combustion device is an on-off control type combustion device.
[0018]
First, the basic configuration of the boiler will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 1, a combustion device 2 is provided on the upper portion of a boiler 1. A fuel supply line 5 having a first fuel valve 3 and a second fuel valve 4 is connected to the combustion device 2. The fuel valves 3 and 4 are provided in series with the fuel supply line 5. When the combustion operation of the combustion device 2 is started, the fuel valves 3 and 4 are opened, and when the combustion operation is stopped, both the fuel valves 3 and 4 are opened. The fuel valves 3 and 4 are closed. That is, the fuel valves 3 and 4 are configured as double shutoff valves.
[0019]
The combustion apparatus 2 is provided with a blower 6 for supplying combustion air and supplying purge air such as pre-purge and post-purge.
[0020]
Next, the control configuration of the boiler 1 will be described. First, the fuel valves 3 and 4 and the blower 6 are connected to a controller 8 via lines 7, 7,. Then, the controller 8 follows the preset program, based on the load status of the boiler 1, that is, the detected value of the internal pressure of the boiler of the boiler 1. By controlling each of them, the combustion control of the boiler 1 is performed. That is, on / off control of the combustion device 2 is performed at two positions of combustion and standby according to the internal pressure of the can.
[0021]
Here, basic control contents of the combustion apparatus 2 will be described. First, when the combustion apparatus 2 is operated for combustion, a pre-purge operation is performed by operating the blower 6 while the fuel valves 3 and 4 are closed. Then, after performing the pre-purge operation for a predetermined time, both the fuel valves 3 and 4 are opened, an ignition operation is performed, and a combustion operation is started. Next, when the combustion operation is terminated, both the fuel valves 3 and 4 are closed to extinguish the fire. Then, after the fuel valves 3 and 4 are closed, a post purge operation is performed by operating the blower 6 for a predetermined time.
[0022]
Well, then detecting means of the leak status of each fuel valve 3,4 used in the control method of the present invention (hereinafter, referred to as "leakage detection unit") 9 Nitsu have to be described.
[0023]
The leakage detection unit 9, a pressure detection means, is provided between each of the fuel valves 3,4 in the fuel supply line 5. The leak detection means 9 is connected to the controller 8 via the line 7 so that the controller 8 can monitor a change in pressure between the fuel valves 3 and 4. It has become. Then, the leakage detection means 9 detects the leakage of the fuel valves 3 and 4 based on the change in pressure between the fuel valves 3 and 4 when the fuel valves 3 and 4 are selectively opened and closed. The state is to be detected.
[0024]
Next, a method for detecting the leakage state of each of the fuel valves 3 and 4 will be described with reference to FIG. First, the detection of the leakage state of each of the fuel valves 3 and 4 is performed when the post-purge operation is being performed when the combustion apparatus 2 stops burning. First, the fuel valves 3 and 4 are closed to end the combustion operation. At this time, first, the first fuel valve 3 on the upstream side is closed, and after the first set time A, the second fuel valve 4 on the downstream side is closed. When the second fuel valve 4 is closed, the pressure between the fuel valves 3 and 4 becomes the pressure in the combustion chamber of the boiler 1 (hereinafter referred to as “furnace pressure”). During the second set time B, the fuel valves 3 and 4 are kept closed. Next, while the second set time B elapses, the leak detection means 9 monitors the change in pressure between the fuel valves 3 and 4. In this state, when the pressure between the fuel valves 3 and 4 does not change (shown by a solid line in FIG. 2), it is determined that there is no leakage of the first fuel valve 3. On the contrary, when the pressure between the fuel valves 3 and 4 is increased (shown by a dotted line in FIG. 2), it is determined that the first fuel valve 3 is leaking.
[0025]
Next, after the second set time B has elapsed, the first fuel valve 3 is once opened and then closed again. Then, when the first fuel valve 3 is closed again, the pressure between the fuel valves 3 and 4 becomes the fuel supply pressure in the fuel supply line 5. This fuel supply pressure (hereinafter simply referred to as “supply pressure”) is higher than the furnace pressure. During the third set time C, the fuel valves 3 and 4 are kept closed. While the third set time C elapses, the leak detection means 9 monitors the change in pressure between the fuel valves 3 and 4. In this state, when the pressure between the fuel valves 3 and 4 does not change (shown by a solid line in FIG. 2), it is determined that there is no leakage of the second fuel valve 4. On the other hand, when the pressure between the fuel valves 3 and 4 is reduced (shown by a one-dot chain line in FIG. 2), it is determined that the second fuel valve 4 is leaking.
[0026]
When it is determined that either one or both of the fuel valves 3 and 4 are not leaking based on the result of determination of the presence or absence of leakage of the fuel valves 3 and 4, the fuel valves 3 and 4 From this, it is determined that there is no fuel leakage into the combustion chamber. On the other hand, when it is determined that both the fuel valves 3 and 4 are leaking, it is determined that fuel is leaking into the combustion chamber.
[0027]
Further, when a leak is detected in both the fuel valves 3 and 4, the leak detection means 9 detects whether or not the leak amount at this time is equal to or less than an allowable value. That is, a time D from when the first fuel valve 3 is closed again until the pressure between the fuel valves 3 and 4 drops to a predetermined pressure, for example, the furnace pressure, is measured. The leakage amount is detected based on the above. Here, the allowable value is a value determined on the basis of an amount that does not pose a risk of explosion due to ignition even if fuel leaked from the fuel valves 3 and 4 flows into the combustion chamber .
[0028]
Next , the control method of the present invention will be described together with the control contents of the controller 8. First, the controller 8 detects the leakage of the fuel valves 3 and 4 by the leakage detection means 9 during the post-purge operation when the combustion apparatus 2 stops combustion . Then, based on the detection result of the leak condition, adjusting said pre-purge operation. It will be described in detail the adjustment of the pre-purge operation based on the detection result.
[0029]
First, the case where the leak detection means 9 does not detect the leakage of the fuel valves 3 and 4 will be described. In this case, to omit the pre-purge operation, moves to the combustion operation performing the ignition operation.
[0030]
Next, a case where a leak is detected in each of the fuel valves 3 and 4 will be described. In this case, as described above, the detection result of the leakage state may be the case where the leakage amount is equal to or less than the allowable value and the case where the leakage amount is greater than the allowable value. First, when the leakage amount is less than or equal to the allowable value, the pre-purge operation is started when the combustion request is made. And, after the pre-purge operation, performs ignition.
[0031]
Next, when the leakage amount is larger than the allowable value, the post-purge operation is continuously performed when the leakage of each of the fuel valves 3 and 4 is detected, and thereafter the ignition operation is shifted to. To prevent. Then, an abnormality indicating that the fuel valves 3 and 4 are leaking is notified.
[0032]
As described above, according to this control method, when there is no leakage of each of the fuel valves 3 and 4, it is possible to perform the ignition operation by omitting the pre-purge operation, assuming that safety is confirmed. Therefore, load followability in the combustion device 2 can be improved. Moreover, since the power required for the pre-purge can be reduced by omitting the pre-purge operation, energy saving can be achieved. In addition, it is possible to perform control that ensures safety according to the degree of leakage of the fuel valve.
[0033]
Next, another control mode when a leak is detected in each of the fuel valves 3 and 4 will be described. In this control mode, after the combustion is stopped, the combustion apparatus 2 is controlled to stand by while performing a purge operation with an air volume smaller than that during the pre-purge operation, according to the detection result of the leakage state. That is, when the leakage amount of each of the fuel valves 3 and 4 is less than or equal to the allowable value, the combustion apparatus 2 is kept on standby until the minimum purge operation corresponding to the leakage amount is performed. Remove fuel from the room. Then, explosion due to ignition can be prevented during the ignition operation. Here, in the case of this control mode, when the combustion request is made again, the pre-purge operation can be omitted.
[0034]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, the load followability of the combustion apparatus can be improved by a simple method , and energy saving can be achieved .
