KST – KROMSCHRÖDER SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY
Ignition position monitoring (SIL 2, PL d)
The ignition capacity of the burner during the start-up procedure until the operating signal of the automatic burner control unit is received must be limited.
Risk
Pressure surge caused by exceeding the start fuel flow rate
Determining the required SIL pursuant to IEC 62061
Frequency & exposure duration Fr: < 1 per h to ≥ 1 per day; > 10 min → 5 points
Probability Pr: as the safety time safely limits the pilot gas volume (SIL 3, PL e), the probability that a hazardous event occurs is rather low. → 2 points
Avoidance Av: as the pilot gas volume is limited by a fixed orifice, it is probable that the hazard is avoided. → 1 point
Effects: death, loss of an eye or arm
Determining the required PL pursuant to ISO 13849-1
Severity of injury S: severe (usually irreversible injury including death) → S2
Frequency and/or duration of hazard exposure F: frequent to continuous and/or long exposure to hazard → F2
Possibility of avoiding hazard or limiting harm P: possible under certain conditions → P1
