  • Patent number: 8721325
    Abstract: A method for starting a combustion device, in particular after a first ignition failure, in particular for starting a gas burner under unknown basic conditions, wherein a characteristic diagram of a start air ratio depending on the burner temperature known from empirical analysis is stored for the combustion device in a memory, wherein a calibration of the starting process is performed, wherein the ratio of opening of the gas valve (w) to air volume mL necessary for ignition is iteratively determined by variation of the gas and/or air volume; and in case of ignition, the combustion device is started and the applicable air ratio (?)IGNITION is stored.

  • Patent number: 8109731
    Abstract: A radial fan impeller has the following features: a plurality of blades distributed around the periphery; viewed in the radial direction, the blades extend from an inner inlet region to an outer discharge region; the blades extend axially, viewed in the direction of a rotation axis, between an inlet side and an axially opposite hub side; on the inlet side, the blades are connected by means of their radial extension as far as the discharge region to a covering disc which has a central inflow opening, opening out into the inlet region; on the hub side the blades are only connected with their radial inner end regions to a central hub; the blades and the covering disc define an outer fan impeller diameter which is at least ten times an axially measured flow discharge width of the blades provided in the discharge region.
