VMF2..1-4 VMF2..R..M
The filter module VMF is designed for cleaning the gas and air
flow to gas burners or gas appliances. It is suitable for use in
gas control and safety systems in all sectors of the iron, steel,
glass and ceramics industries, and also in all areas of private
and commercial heat generation.
It can easily be adapted to different pipes thanks to various
flange shapes for the individual valVario valve sizes. Its modular design allows assembly with valVario valves or regulators
making it possible to construct space-saving gas systems.

This type of control is used on one-stage forced draught burn-
ers or in one-stage boilers, it is also suitable for use with a
mechanical or electronic air/gas ratio control system.

The high output impulse at the burner generated by this type
of control produces a uniform temperature distribution and
good circulation of the furnace or kiln atmosphere, e.g. in heat
treatment furnaces in the iron and non-ferrous metal industries
or kilns for heavy clay and fine ceramics. The required lambda
value can be set using the fine-adjusting valve VMV and the
air adjusting cock LEH. Using the filter module VMF, the gas
flow upstream of the gas valve VAS is cleaned.

With this type of continuous control, the mixture setting is
maintained over a wide control range while at the same time
preventing air deficiency.

Using the filter module VMF, the gas flow upstream of the
gas valve VAS and the air/gas ratio control VAG is cleaned.
The gas/air mixture is set using the fine-adjusting valve VMV.
A constant mixture setting is maintained over a wide control
range while at the same time preventing air deficiency. This
type of control is used on boilers with multi-stage or infinitely
adjustable forced draught burners.
