The BCU 370 burner control unit controls, ignites and
monitors industrial forced draught burners of unlimited
capacity in intermittent or continuous operation.
It can be used for directly ignited forced draught burn-
ers or forced draught burners ignited with pilot burner.
The BCU 370 activates the fan and sets the connected
butterfly valve to Pre-purge and Ignition position. After
pre-purge and burner start, the enable signal is issued
to an external controller which positions the butterfly
valve in accordance with the capacit y demand. Post-
purge occurs after the end of burner operation. The
burner control unit BCU 370 monitors the gas and air
pressure. An optionally integrated tightness control

Lower sectionUpper section
function checks the valves with an external gas pres-
sure switch.
Programmability by means of the optical interface and
BCSoft PC software guarantees optimum adaptation to
the relevant application. Adjustable start-up attempts
and automatic restart which can be activated ensure
the high flexibility of the burner equipment.
The quick-start option allows standard-compliant star t-
up of the forced draught burner without pre-purge
after controlled shut-down. This avoids unnecessary
admission of air into the combustion chamber. The heat
output is available as quickly as possible after a temperature demand.
▼
Application
The program status, the unit parameters and the level
of the flame signal can be read directly from the BCU.
An integrated Manual mode allows manual start of the
burner and setting of the butterfly valve position inde-
pendently of the central control system. The BCSoft
operator-control and setting software provides a pow-
erful tool for commissioning and servicing.
To reduce the installation and wiring costs, Honeywell
Kromschröder offers an optional Profibus DP interface
to transfer the activation signals and feedbacks.

3.2.2 Quick start, butterfly valve
waits in the Ignition position
Parameter 06 = 0, parameter 28 = 0
Quick start is the same as normal
start, except that pre-purge is
dispensed with. The burner starts
quicker. This results in improved
control quality, since there is no
dead time, the energy is used better
and no cold air is fed to the combustion chamber.
The BCU 370 only carries out a

quick start if the last shut-down
was a controlled shut-down. No
more than 24 hours may have
