Siemens LMV5 Series Burner Management Controls

Siemens LMV5 Series is an advanced microprocessor-based burner management system for medium- to high-capacity industrial gas and oil forced-draft burners. It combines burner sequencing, flame supervision, electronic fuel-air ratio control, gas valve proving, and load control in an integrated platform. The LMV50, LMV51, and LMV52 families offer model-specific actuator control, PID load control, and optional VSD functionality. LMV52 additionally supports oxygen trim control with the PLL52 module and QGO20 oxygen sensor. Suitable for industrial boilers, combustion equipment, and process heating systems.

Product Description

Siemens Burner Controls LMV5 Series

Siemens LMV5 Series is a microprocessor-based burner management system developed for the control, monitoring, and safety supervision of medium- to high-capacity industrial forced-draft burners operating on gas or oil.

The LMV5 platform integrates burner sequencing, ignition control, flame supervision, electronic fuel-air ratio control, and gas valve proving. Depending on the selected model, integrated PID load control and variable-speed fan control are available to support industrial combustion management.

The product family includes LMV50, LMV51, and LMV52. LMV52 offers oxygen trim control when used with compatible Siemens PLL52 and QGO20 components.
