Siemens burner controls, flame detectors and actuators

Siemens burner controls and flame detectors

Burner controls (LMV/LME/LFL), flame detectors (QRA/QRB/QRI) and actuators (SQM) — the brain and the safety of the burner

Siemens is the brain of the burner. Where the pump, filter and nozzle handle the mechanics, it is the Siemens burner control that manages the entire sequence — pre-purge, ignition, flame supervision, output control and safe shutdown — and makes sure nothing happens in the wrong order. The programme spans from complete systems such as the LMV5 (which combines burner management, flame supervision and air-fuel ratio control in one unit, with O₂ trim for maximum efficiency) and the LMV3 for smaller plant, to the classic LME, LFL and LGB control boxes that sit in a very large installed base. There is a flame detector for every need: QRA for UV supervision, QRB photocells for light oil and gas, and QRI for infrared detection. The SQM series actuators position dampers and valves precisely, so that air and fuel always meet in the right ratio. For Nordic, marine and offshore projects, Siemens is both a safety component and an efficiency component: the right control box and the right flame detector keep the burner reliable, energy-efficient and within emission requirements — and make it possible to modernise an older burner instead of replacing the whole plant. The same control and safety matter at sea, where the North Sea and the Baltic are SECA zones with their own strict requirements. The controls are fuel-independent and follow the transition to renewable liquid fuels such as HVO. We carry Siemens as spares for the large installed base in industry, process, projects and marine.

Key points:

  • Burner controls that manage the entire sequence: pre-purge, ignition, flame supervision, output control, safe shutdown
  • LMV5 (with O₂ trim) and LMV3 for modern burner management; LMO/LME/LFL/LGB for the large installed base of small and medium burners
  • Flame detectors for every need: QRA (UV), QRB (photocell), QRI (infrared)
  • SQM actuators position dampers and valves for the exact air-fuel ratio
  • Safety + efficiency + modernise rather than replace — spares for industry, process, projects, marine
