Abstract:
A pseudo flame detecting portion detects a presence of a pseudo flame due to disturbance light when a sensor output of a flame sensor is equal to or greater than a pseudo flame threshold value and detects an absence of pseudo flame when the sensor output is equal to or less than another pseudo flame threshold value. The combustion controlling portion monitors the pseudo flame detection result from the pseudo flame detecting portion before an ignition attempt in the combustion equipment and, when the pseudo flame detection result continuously indicates presence of pseudo flame for a first monitoring time, cancels the ignition attempt in the combustion equipment.

Claim (Index 1):
A combustion controlling device that controls a combustion in combustion equipment based on a presence or an absence of a combustion flame in the combustion equipment detected from a sensor output of a flame sensor, the combustion controlling device comprising:\n a combustion flame detecting portion that detects the presence or the absence of the combustion flame in the combustion equipment based on the sensor output obtained from the flame sensor during the combustion in the combustion equipment and a preset combustion flame threshold value; a pseudo flame detecting portion that detects a presence or an absence of a pseudo flame based on the sensor output and a preset pseudo flame threshold value less than the combustion flame threshold value; and a combustion controlling portion that controls the combustion in the combustion equipment based on a combustion flame detection result obtained by the combustion flame detecting portion, wherein the combustion controlling portion monitors a pseudo flame detection result by the pseudo flame detecting portion before an ignition attempt in the combustion equipment and, when the pseudo flame detection result continuously indicates the presence of the pseudo flame for a first monitoring time, cancels the ignition attempt in the combustion equipment.
