Abstract
Abstract A combustion control system for an oil burner capable of precisely and positively carrying out adjustment of combustion to accomplish complete combustion during combustion operation when a variation in combustion has been carried out. The combustion control system is constructed to detect the rotation speed of the air fan 34 to detect an actual air feed rate and then determine an appropriate fuel feed rate depending upon the actual air feed rate, so that combustion may be stably and efficiently accomplished.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
193 words
A combustion control system for an oil burner which is adapted to vary a feed rate of both air and fuel oil supplied to a combustion section of the oil burner, comprising: a fuel supply means for supplying fuel oil to said combustion section depending upon a fuel control signal; an air supply means for variably supplying air to said combustion section; an air feed rate detecting means for detecting a feed rate of air supplied by said air supply means to generate an air feed rate signal corresponding to said air feed rate detected; a fuel feed rate memory means for storing optimum fuel feed rate values corresponding to feed rate values of air supplied to said combustion section; and a control means for receiving said air feed rate signal generated by said air feed rate detecting means and for generating said fuel control signal in response to an optimum value of a fuel feed rate selected from said memory as corresponding to said air feed rate signal, said control means supplying said fuel control signal to said fuel supply means to supply fuel oil at said optimum fuel feed rate value.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
193 words
A combustion control system for an oil burner which is adapted to vary a feed rate of both air and fuel oil supplied to a combustion section of the oil burner, comprising: a fuel supply means for supplying fuel oil to said combustion section depending upon a fuel control signal; an air supply means for variably supplying air to said combustion section; an air feed rate detecting means for detecting a feed rate of air supplied by said air supply means to generate an air feed rate signal corresponding to said air feed rate detected; a fuel feed rate memory means for storing optimum fuel feed rate values corresponding to feed rate values of air supplied to said combustion section; and a control means for receiving said air feed rate signal generated by said air feed rate detecting means and for generating said fuel control signal in response to an optimum value of a fuel feed rate selected from said memory as corresponding to said air feed rate signal, said control means supplying said fuel control signal to said fuel supply means to supply fuel oil at said optimum fuel feed rate value.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
72 words
A combustion control system as defined in claim 1, wherein said air supply means comprises: a motor for air supply; an air feed rate operation section for selecting a feed rate of air; a control circuit for controlling rotation speed varying factors, such as voltage, power, phase, frequency or the like to control a rotation speed of said motor depending upon an operation signal supplied from said air feed rate operation section.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
