Combustion Setting Tool Thermal Model Eliminates Sensors

The patent introduces an intermediary computational model that acts as a mediator between the combustion chamber and the control unit. Instead of directly measuring temperature with a sensor in the combustion chamber, the system uses a thermal model that calculates temperature based on measurable parameters (ventilator operation data, time data, heat supply constants, heat discharge constants) and ambient temperature. This intermediary model eliminates the need for complex high-temperature sensors and lengthy cable paths while maintaining thermal control accuracy.

The patent replaces the physical temperature sensor system (mechanical/electrical measurement device with cable paths) with a computational modeling system. The thermal model substitutes the direct measurement approach with an indirect calculation approach using available data from the control unit, thereby eliminating the complex sensor hardware and wiring infrastructure.

The thermal model serves as an intermediary that enables precise cooling control without requiring expensive temperature sensors. The model calculates thermal states using readily available data (ventilator operation timing, ambient temperature, pre-determined heat constants), thereby achieving manufacturing precision in cooling control while avoiding the high production costs associated with specialized high-temperature sensors and their wiring infrastructure.

The patent replaces expensive, complex temperature sensors with a software-based thermal model that uses inexpensive ambient temperature sensors and computational algorithms. This substitution dramatically reduces production costs while maintaining the necessary cooling control precision through mathematical modeling rather than expensive hardware.

The patent applies dynamic control to the ventilator operation by using the thermal model to calculate real-time cooling requirements. The ventilator operates only when and for as long as thermal conditions require cooling, with the duration and intensity dynamically adjusted based on modeled temperature, ambient temperature, and heat discharge calculations. This dynamic approach maintains thermal control reliability while avoiding unnecessary energy consumption from continuous operation.

The system uses periodic monitoring of thermal parameters through the model and activates the ventilator in periodic cycles based on calculated thermal needs rather than continuous operation. The control unit periodically evaluates the thermal state using the model and adjusts ventilator operation accordingly, maintaining reliable thermal control through periodic assessment and action rather than constant energy expenditure.
