Choosing the Best Burner Controls for Your Application
October 18, 2024 ⚊ 1 Min read ⚊ Views 6 ⚊ BUSINESSElectronic Burner Management Systems are advanced burner controls that integrate various functions, including ignition, flame monitoring, and safety shutdowns. BMS ensures that the burner operates safely by monitoring critical parameters and shutting down the system in case of a fault. These systems are used in high-risk applications such as power plants, refineries, and large industrial boilers, where safety and efficiency are paramount. Safety is a paramount concern in any system involving combustion, and burner controls play a crucial role in ensuring safe operations. They are designed with multiple safety interlocks, ensuring that burners only ignite under safe conditions. For instance, flame detection systems are integrated into burner controls to monitor the presence of a flame. If the flame goes out unexpectedly, the controls automatically shut off the fuel supply to prevent the risk of explosions or fires.
