Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a burner control system, comprising a controller, a burner connectable to a combustible gas supply and comprising a controllable valve coupled to the controller, an optical sensor arranged at the burner and coupled to the controller, wherein the controller is configured to determine a use state of the burner, from a group of use states comprising at least an ignition state, based on a measurement signal of the optical sensor that is indicative for a light level corresponding to said use state, and to selectively control the controllable valve in dependency of said use state of the burner.
Claims22
A burner control system, comprising:
- a controller;
- a burner connectable to a combustible gas supply and comprising a controllable valve coupled to the controller;
- and
- an optical sensor arranged at the burner and coupled to the controller, wherein the controller is configured to determine a use state of the burner, from a group of use states comprising at least an ignition state, based on a measurement signal of the optical sensor that is indicative for a light level corresponding to said use state, and to selectively control the controllable valve in dependency of said use state of the burner.
A method for controlling a burner control system of or for a heating system, the method comprising:
- obtaining a measurement signal of an optical sensor that is indicative for a light level;
- determining a use state of a burner, from a group of use states comprising at least an ignition state, based on the obtained measurement signal corresponding to said use state, wherein the burner is connectable to a combustible gas supply and comprised by the burner control system;
- and
- selectively controlling a controllable valve of the burner control system in dependency of said use state of the burner.
