Process heating equipment OEMs that build furnaces, ovens, dryers, kilns and boilers heated by gas burners face challenges related to the development of combustion control panels. While combustion controls are essential for the safe and efficient operation of burners, each customer or project often has its unique requirements. This can lead to many non-standard panel designs, complicating engineering, commissioning, maintenance and service. Specific end-user requirements also can result in the use of many different control components (i.e., multiple versions of flame safeguards, temperature and limit controllers, fuel-air ratio control subsystems and PLCs). The larger the variety of hardware components used, the harder it is to maintain an inventory of spare parts and deal with warranty issues.Process heating equipment OEMs can benefit from a standardized, flexible combustion control panel design that:1.Works across many applications with minimal changes. 2.Controls burners with different sequencing and fuel-air ratio requirements.3.Uses common hardware. 4.Reduces the engineering required for each project.5.Can be monitored remotely to maximize equipment uptime and minimize warranty repair costs.
