Application
Central combustion air supply with air deficiency cut-out and air flow monitoring
Function
The supply air pressure generated by the fan (010) is monitored by the pressure switch (040) acting as an air deficiency cut-out. When the fan is started by the process control system, contact changeover at the pressure switch is checked.
During the pre-purge, a differential pressure switch (050) monitors the air flow on the orifice (060).
If there is no air pressure supplied or if there is no differential pressure on the orifice, the system will be blocked.
Notes
- EN 746-2 recommends that the intake filter on the fan be monitored for soiling. This can occur directly through a differential pressure switch on the filter or indirectly through a second air pressure switch on the pressure side of the fan. The filter monitoring pressure switch triggers a warning, however it does not need to be linked into the safety interlocks.
- In many cases it is recommended that the combustion air be taken in from outside the production hall so as to extend the cleaning intervals for the intake filter. However, drawing in air from the outside does not do away with the need for an intake filter.
