Method for controlling heating apparatus

Abstract

Provided is a method for controlling a heating apparatus. The method for controlling the heating apparatus, in which a fuel tank and a fuel injection part are provided in a first passage that provides a moving path, and air introduced into the first passage to remain is discharged while fuel in the fuel tank is consumed and re-injected, includes a passage opening process of allowing the first passage to communicate with the outside through a discharge valve provided in the first passage, and a fuel pressing process of operating a fuel pump provided downstream of the first passage from the discharge valve to allow the fuel to moves toward the discharge valve.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for controlling a heating apparatus, in which a fuel tank and a fuel injection part are provided in a first passage that provides a moving path, and air introduced into the first passage to remain is discharged while fuel in the fuel tank is consumed and re-injected, the method comprising:
 a passage opening process of allowing the first passage to communicate with the outside through a discharge valve provided in the first passage; and   a fuel pressing process of operating a fuel pump provided downstream of the first passage from the discharge valve to allow the fuel to moves toward the discharge valve.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the heating apparatus comprises:
 a fuel inflow part provided downstream of the first passage from the fuel pump to allow the fuel tank and the fuel pump to communicate with each other; and   a fuel discharge part provided upstream of the first passage to guide discharge of the fuel of the fuel pump,   wherein the discharge valve is provided with the fuel discharge part.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the heating apparatus further comprises:
 a hot air discharge part configured to accommodate the fuel injection part and guide hot air generated by igniting the fuel injected from the fuel injection part to the outside; and   a blowing fan configured to introduce external air so as to move to the hot air discharge part,   wherein, when the passage opening process is performed, the method further comprises an external air supply process of supplying the external air by the blowing fan to a second passage provided so that the air moves from the blowing fan to the outside through the hot air discharge part.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the heating apparatus comprises at least one of:
 a first sensor part configured to detect a fuel level of the fuel tank; and   a user command input part configured to receive a user command,   wherein whether the passage opening process starts is determined based on one or more of a measured value of the first sensor part and the user command input through the user command input part.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the passage opening process starts when a value less than a level reference value and a value greater than the level reference value are continuously measured by the first sensor part. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the passage opening process starts based on the input user command even when a value less than a level reference value and a value greater than the level reference value are continuously measured by the first sensor part. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 4 , further comprising, when a value greater than a level reference value is not measured after a value less than the level reference value is measured, an alarm process of indicating an alarm in response to a user command that instructs the start of the passage opening process in the user command input thereafter. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising, when the fuel moving in the fuel pressing process reaches the discharge valve, a pressing termination process of stopping an operation of the fuel pump. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the heating apparatus further comprises a second sensor part provided in the discharge valve to detect fuel, and
 the pressing termination process starts when the fuel is detected by the second sensor part.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the heating apparatus further comprises a third sensor part provided adjacent to the fuel injection part to detect fuel, and
 the pressing termination process starts when the fuel is detected by the third sensor part.
