Abstract: An apparatus for controlling an airflow to a boiler or the like and maintaining a desired quantity thereof. The apparatus comprises a controller for generating a control signal of a level corresponding to a required airflow, a variable-frequency power supply for producing an output of a frequency corresponding to the control signal level so as to drive a ventilation-actuating motor, and means for detecting any deviation of the control signal level from a predetermined range and retaining the frequency of the motor-driving output at a proper value, whereby the airflow is maintained at or above a preset value.

Abstract: An air flow controlling apparatus for accomplishing blasting with a desired air flow by controlling an electric motor for a ventilator for feeding air for combustion to a boiler as well as a damper located in an air course. In order to control a temporary increase or decrease of an air flow due to a variation of a rotational frequency of the electric motor when power supply to the electric motor is changed over between a commercial power source and a variable frequency power source, the apparatus includes a preceding controlling signal generating means which regulates the opening of the damper for a period of time from a point of time at which a power source changing over instruction is received to another point of time at which an actual changing over operation is performed.
