Abstract:
A flame detection adjusting portion adjusts a preset reference threshold value based on a sensor output indicating disturbance light obtained from a flame sensor before an ignition attempt in combustion equipment and outputs an obtained adjusted threshold value, and a combustion flame detecting portion detects a presence or an absence of a combustion flame in the combustion equipment based on the sensor output obtained from the flame sensor during combustion in the combustion equipment and an adjusted threshold value.

Claim (Index 4):
A combustion control method 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 method comprising:\n adjusting, by a flame detection adjusting portion, a preset reference threshold value based on the sensor output obtained from the flame sensor before an ignition attempt indicating disturbance light in the combustion equipment and outputting an obtained adjusted threshold value; detecting, by a combustion flame detecting portion, 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 the adjusted threshold value; and controlling, by a combustion controlling portion, the combustion in the combustion equipment based on a combustion flame detection result obtained in the combustion flame detecting step.
