A burner management system is responsible for the safe start-up, operation and shutdown of a boiler. It monitors and controls igniters and main burners; utilizes flame scanners to detect and discriminate between the igniter and main flames; employs safety shut-off valves, pressure, temperature, flow and valve position limit switches and uses blowers to cool the scanners and/or provide combustion air for the igniters. Its proper operation is crucial to the safety of a boiler.
A BMS is an integral part of the Experion® Process Knowledge System (PKS) and TPS® offering a single source operator interface. The system can expand to include engineering, controller and “burner front” products and services which form a superior BMS solution when combined.
