Apparatus for regulating the gas/air ration for a pre-mixing combustion device
First Claim
1. An apparatus for regulating the gas/air ratio for a pre-mixing combustion device comprising:
- a pneumatic regulator, which maintains a ratio of pressure in a gas conduit and pressure in an air conduit constant;
a mixing device, which is arranged downstream of the regulator, said mixing device comprising;
a mixing chamber, which diverges from its inlet opening in the flow direction in the manner of a venturi nozzle,a nozzle, which is connected to the air conduit and extends into the inlet opening of the mixing chamber,an annular gap, which is connected to the gas conduit and is defined between an edge of the inlet opening of the mixing chamber and the nozzle connected to the air conduit, anda conical member, which is arranged in the air conduit and is moveable in an axial direction relative to the nozzle connected to the air conduit in dependence on a signal from a sensor; and
a fan whose speed is controllable, said fan for conveying a gas/air mixture out of the mixing chamber to the combustion device.

Abstract
The apparatus has a pneumatic controller, which controls the pressure in a gas conduit (1) in dependence on the pressure in an air conduit (2). Provided downstream of the regulator is a mixing device (4), which has a venturi-like mixing chamber (7). Extending into the inlet opening of the mixing chamber (7) is a nozzle (8), which is connected to the air conduit (2). Defined between the nozzle (8) and the edge (9) of the inlet opening of the mixing chamber (7) is an annular gap (10), which is connected to the gas conduit (1). Also operating in the air conduit (2) is a conical member (11) which is actuated by a linear motor (12). The mixture is withdrawn from the mixing chamber (7) by a fan (5), whose speed is controllable, and fed to the combustion device. The adjusting motor (12) for the conical member (11) operates in dependence on a signal from a sensor, which detects changes in the gas quality, the air pressure and/or the combustion air temperature. The cross-section of the nozzle (8) connected to the air conduit (2) is blocked to a greater or lesser extent in dependence thereon in order to superimpose the sensor regulation on the pneumatic regulation.
