  • Control Of Combustion (AREA)
  • Resistance Heating (AREA)

Abstract

PURPOSE: To shorten the preheating time of a carburetor to be heated by a ceramic heater, and to reduce a rush power. CONSTITUTION: A control unit 8 has combustion time control means 10 and preheating time control means 11. The means 11 is operated simultaneously upon preheating to gradually increase a duty factor so that the supply power to a ceramic heater 6 is made substantially constant. Thus, since the duty factor is low at the initial time of the preheating, rush power is suppressed to low. Even if the heater 6 is raised at its temperature to increase its resistance value, the duty factor is raised to hold the supply power at a high level, and hence the preheating time is shortened.

Regarding the above-mentioned preheating, there is a drawback in that the preheating time is longer than necessary because the vaporizer gradually rises in temperature in the latter half of preheating. If a ceramic heater with a large heating value is used in an attempt to shorten the preheating time, the inrush power at the initial stage of energization will increase in proportion to the increase in the heating value, so there will be no effect on other equipment due to the voltage drop. Problems such as breaker dropping are likely to occur. The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to reduce the preheating time and the inrush power by using a ceramic heater having a calorific value having a sufficient margin from a normal required calorific value. An object of the present invention is to provide a carburetor energization control device that can be realized at the same time.

The operation of the above-mentioned structure will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. A-1 is executed by starting the main control provided in FIG. 2A with the start of operation. Immediately after starting, the initial value θo slightly shorter than the half cycle of the commercial power source 12 is substituted into the control value θ (A-2).

When the commercial power supply 12 crosses zero during the operation of the main control, the sub control of FIG. 2B is executed. In the sub-control, the switching element 13 is turned off to stop the energization of the ceramic heater 6 (B-1), and the control value θ is investigated (B-2). In this investigation, the control value θ does not match the invalid value θoff described later,
Then, the control value θ is set in the timer (B-3), and the timer is operated (B-4).

Next, when it is judged that preheating is completed in A-3,
Since the pump 14 is started and the fuel oil is pressure-fed to the vaporizer 1, the vaporized gas is jetted to the burner 9 from the nozzle 3 opened by energizing the solenoid 4 and ignited and burned. Moreover, the combustion control means 10 operates, and the temperature of the carburetor 1 during combustion is judged based on the input signal from the temperature sensor 7 whether or not to energize (A-7). By energizing the power as needed, the temperature is maintained at a substantially predetermined temperature. As the control value θ during the energization, a predetermined value θon that gives an appropriate low energization rate (A-8) and an invalid value θoff that substantially invalidates the operation of the sub-control when the energization is stopped are substituted.

As described above, according to the present invention, the rush power at the beginning of preheating is small because the preheating is performed by gradually increasing the duty ratio so that the power supplied to the ceramic heater is substantially constant. Further, even if the temperature of the ceramic heater rises due to preheating, a high level of power supply is continued, so that the preheating time of the carburetor is shortened, which is a remarkable effect.
