Abstract
A device for regulating a burner system with at least one burner and at least one ionization electrode that lies in a flame of the at least one burner when the burner system is operating. The regulation device is configured to (a) set an air volume flow rate of the burner system, (b) record an ionization current based on the ionization electrode(s), (c) store, in memory, pairs of air volume flow rate of the burner system and ionization current, (d) form a difference between the reciprocal value of a first ionization current for a first air volume flow rate and a reciprocal value of a second ionization current recorded prior to the first ionization current and associated with the first air volume flow rate and (e) calculate the value of a displaced ionization current as the sum of this difference and of the reciprocal value of a further ionization current.
