Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0697564A1] A self-checking combustion monitor/regulator unit (8) for a heating installation (1) using either solid or liquid fuel, receives a signal from a single sensor (7) which continuously determines the concentrations of oxygen and hydrogen/carbon monoxide in the exhaust gases. The control unit (8) regulates the fuel and air intakes via the respective actuators (4, 5) in accordance with the measured characteristics of the flue gases (6). Predetermined data is used to define acceptable limits of combustion performance and the air supply is increased or reduced to ensure that operation is at all times within these constraints.
