  • Controlling a combustion device to lower combustion-induced pulsations by changing and resetting fuel stagings at different rates of change
    Patent number: 9249979
    Abstract: A method is provided for operating a combustion device having at least one premix burner equipped with fuel stagings and is connected to a combustion chamber. The method includes changing, during transient operating states, the fuel staging of the at least one premix burner in accordance with combustion-induced pulsations which occur in the combustion chamber. A pulsation level of the pulsations which occur in the combustion chamber is continuously determined, the fuel staging of the at least one premix burner is changed for lowering the pulsation level if the pulsation level exceeds a predetermined maximum value, and, after a predetermined time interval, by the fuel staging being reset to the undisturbed value which determines the respective operating point if within the predetermined time interval the predetermined maximum value is not exceeded.
