ABSTRACT:
Flame monitoring is normally performed in a space heater for a motor vehicle in order to stop the fuel supply within a certain period of time in the case of interruption of the flame. If interruption of the flame is detected by measuring the temperature on the heat exchanger or the combustion chamber of the heater in order to detect a possibly relatively rapid temperature drop, it must be ensured that the temperature at the test point can indeed decrease rapidly enough. It is therefore necessary constantly to monitor the electric motor of the blower for the combustion air or for the heating air flowing past the heat exchanger, so that the combustion chamber or the heat exchanger will indeed cool after interruption of the flame. The operation of the blower motor is monitored by briefly interrupting the power supply and measuring the generator voltage generated by the motor that continues to rotate. If there is no generator voltage or it is too low, a malfunction indication is generated.
