Abstract (en)

A combustion system includes a perforated flame holder, a preheating fuel distributor, a main fuel distributor, an oxidant source, an array of sensors, and a controller. The oxidant source outputs an oxidant. The preheating fuel distributor supports a preheating flame configured to preheat the perforated flame holder by outputting a preheating fuel when the combustion system is in a preheating state. The main fuel source outputs a main fuel in the standard operating state. The perforated flame holder is configured to support a combustion reaction of the main fuel and the oxidant in the standard operating state. The sensors are configured to sense parameters of the preheating flame and the perforated flame holder and to output sensor signals to the controller. The controller executes software instructions that include adjusting the flow of the main fuel, the preheating fuel, and the oxidant responsive to the sensor signals.
