    摘要: Die Erfindung geht aus von einem Verfahren zum Betreiben einer Verbrennungsvorrichtung zur Bereitstellung eines Luft-Brenngas-Gemischstroms aus einem Luftstrom und einem Brenngasstrom, insbesondere einem Wasserstoffstrom, in zumindest einem vorgebbaren Luft/Brenngas-Verhältnis, und zur Verbrennung des Gemischstroms, wobei durch die Verbrennung eine Heizleistung erzeugt wird, wobei eine Luftfördereinheit einen Luftstrom fördert, insbesondere in Abhängigkeit einer Leistungsanforderung, eine Brenngasdosiereinheit einen Brenngasstrom dosiert, insbesondere in Abhängigkeit des Luftstroms, und eine Mischereinheit den Gemischstrom mischt. Die Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das Luft/Brenngas-Verhältnis mittels einer Regeleinrichtung in Abhängigkeit der Heizleistung variiert wird, wobei das Luft/Brenngas-Verhältnis bei kleinerer Heizleistung einen größeren Wert annimmt und/oder bei größerer Heizleistung einen kleineren Wert annimmt. Insbesondere wird eine Luftzahl λ des Luft-Brenngas-Gemischstroms auf einen Wert innerhalb eines ausgewählten Luftzahl-Werteintervalls geregelt wird, wobei die Intervallgrenzen von heizleistungsabhängigen Luftzahlverläufen λ = λ(Q) gebildet werden.
