2 BCU 370 Edition 12.05
Burner control unit
BCU 370.
Application
The BCU 370 burner control unit controls, ignites and monitors industrial forced draught
burners of unlimited capacity in intermittent
or continuous operation.
It can be used for directly ignited forced
draught burners or forced draught burners ignited with pilot burner. The BCU 370
activates the blower and sets the connected
butterfly valve to pre-purging and ignition
position. After pre-purge and burner start,
the Enable signal is issued to an external
controller which positions the butterfly valve
in accordance with the output demand.
Post-purge occurs after the end of burner
operation. The burner control unit BCU 370
monitors the gas and air pressure. An optionally integrated tightness control function
checks the valves with an external gas pressure switch.
Programmability by means of the optical
interface and BCSoft PC software guarantees optimum adaptation to the relevant application. Adjustable start-up attempts and
automatic restart which can be activated
ensure the high availability of the burner
equipment.
The quick-start option allows standard-compliant start-up of the forced draught burner
without pre-purge after normal shutdown.
This avoids unnecessary admission of air into
the combustion chamber. The heat output
is available as quickly as possible after a
temperature demand.
The program status, the unit parameters and
the level of the flame signal can be read directly from the unit. An integrated Manual
mode allows manual start of the burner and
setting of the butterfly valve position independently of the central control system. The
BCSoft operator-control and setting software
provides a powerful tool for start-up and
servicing.
To reduce the installation and wiring costs
Kromschrder offers an optional Profibus-DP
interface to transfer the activation signals
and feedbacks.

Modulating-controlled forced draught
burner
The BCU 370 controls the blower and moves
the butterfly valve to pre-purging and ignition
position. It issues the Enable signal to the
control system after start-up of the burner.
