SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AVOIDING HARMONIC MODES OF GAS BURNERS

A gas burner system (12) has a gas burner with a conduit (16) through which an air-gas mixture is conducted; a variable-speed forced-air device (40) that forces air through the conduit (16); a control valve (44) that controls a supply of gas for mixture with the air to thereby form the air-gas mixtu...

Zusammenfassung:A gas burner system (12) has a gas burner with a conduit (16) through which an air-gas mixture is conducted; a variable-speed forced-air device (40) that forces air through the conduit (16); a control valve (44) that controls a supply of gas for mixture with the air to thereby form the air-gas mixture; and an electrode (30) configured to ignite the air-gas mixture so as to produce a flame (29). The electrode is further configured to measure a flame ionization current associated with the flame (29). A controller (50) is configured to actively control the variable-speed forced-air device based on the flame ionization current measured by the electrode (30) so as to automatically avoid a flame harmonic mode of the gas burner (10). Corresponding methods are provided.
