Abstract
A device for controlling fuel combustion in a burner detects the temperature in the burner and controls, based on the detected temperature, electric power supplied to an atmozing glow plug of a fuel atomizer which heats and atomizes fuel.
Claims5
An apparatus for controlling fuel combustion in a burner comprising:
- a combustion tube including an ignition chamber for igniting fuel and a combustion chamber for combusting fuel ignited by the ignition chamber;
- a fuel atomizer disposed in said combustion chamber and including an atomizing glow plug for heating and atomizing fuel, and a nozzle for ejecting atomized fuel into said ignition chamber;
- an igniting glow plug disposed in said ignition chamber for igniting the fuel atomized by the fuel atomizer;
- burner temperature detecting means for detecting the temperature in the burner;
- an ambient temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of air introduced into the burner;
- and
- control means for controlling electric power supplied to the atomizing glow plug based on a signal from said burner temperature detecting means and a signal from said ambient temperature sensor.
