Burner Management System Components.

This article is about a list of components and subsystems related to burner management systems (BMS) and boiler systems. Main components used in BMS system is panel instrument, field devices, fuel skid and burners.

To read more about What is Burner Management System and Complete Guide.

Here’s a breakdown of each category:

1. Panel Instruments:

• Logic System: Controls the logic and sequencing of operations in the burner management system.
• HC900 in our application: Likely refers to a specific model or type of control system used in industrial applications.
• Flame Relay: Detects the presence or absence of a flame and sends a signal to the control system.
• PLC (Programmable Logic Controller): A device used for automation of industrial processes.
• TMR (Triple Modular Redundancy): A redundant system architecture used for critical applications to ensure reliability.
• Triconics Systems: Refers to Triconex systems, which are safety instrumented systems commonly used in process industries.
• HMI (Human-Machine Interface): Allows operators to interact with and monitor the burner management system.
• Communications: Systems or protocols used for communication between various components of the BMS.
• Process Control: Techniques and systems for controlling and optimizing industrial processes.

2. Field Devices:

• Flame Detectors: Devices that detect the presence or absence of a flame in the combustion chamber.
• Flame Rod: A sensor used to detect the presence of a flame by sensing the electrical current generated by the flame.
• UV (Ultraviolet): Flame detectors that operate based on the detection of ultraviolet light emitted by the flame.
• IR (Infrared): Flame detectors that operate based on the detection of infrared radiation emitted by the flame.
• UV/IR: Flame detectors that combine both ultraviolet and infrared detection methods for increased reliability.
• Igniters: Devices used to ignite the fuel-air mixture in the combustion chamber.
• Gas Analyzers: Instruments used to measure the composition of gases in the flue gas stream.

3. Fuel Skid.

• Frame & Supports: Structural components to support the fuel skid.
• Piping & Fittings: Components for conveying fuel within the system.
• Pressure Sensors: Devices used to measure the pressure of the fuel or combustion air.
• Flow Sensors: Devices used to measure the flow rate of fuel or combustion air.
• Safety Valves: Valves designed to relieve excess pressure to prevent system overpressure.
• Manual Valves: Valves that can be manually operated to control the flow of fuel or air.
• Flow Control Valve: Valves used to regulate the flow rate of fuel or air.
• Pressure Regulator: Device used to maintain a constant pressure in the fuel supply.
• Strainers: Filters used to remove contaminants from the fuel or air stream.

4. Burners.

• Natural Draft: Burners that rely on natural convection for air supply and exhaust.
• Forced Draft: Burners that use mechanical means to supply air to the combustion chamber.
• Single/Multi Fuel: Burners capable of burning a single type of fuel or multiple types of fuel.
• Lo NOx: Low-NOx burners designed to minimize nitrogen oxide emissions.
• Furnace Mount: Burners mounted directly within the furnace or combustion chamber.
• Fire Tube Mount: Burners mounted on the fire tube of a boiler.
• Duct Mount: Burners mounted within a duct or flue.
• Blowers: Devices used to supply combustion air to the burner.
