(54) | Combustion controlling device |
(57) Two controlling devices, namely a combustion controlling device controlling the combustion
of a combustion furnace, and a safety controlling device checking the operation of
the devices wherein the operations are controlled by the combustion controlling device.
This enables safer control of combustion because if there is a fault in either the
combustion controlling device or the safety controlling device, a process can be performed
by the other device to stop the combustion. Additionally, because the controlling
device for controlling the structural elements that control the combustion in the
boiler system and the controlling device for operational checks of the outputs from
those structural elements are separate, if there is a failure in any of the structural
elements or controlling devices, that failure can be detected reliably, enabling safer
control of the combustion.
