Heating boilers are typically equipped with low cost OEM controls. They don't sense how fast load changes occur. They don't sense how rapidly the boiler pressure or temperature is moving toward or from the set point. They are simply proportional - meaning they adjust the firing rate in accordance with how far the pressure or temperature is from the set point.

They work - if merely heating a building means "work." But if "work" means efficiently utilizing the fuel purchased these low cost OEM controls normally don't "work."

Blesi-Evans prefers to supply controls that cost more up front and save money in operation.

P.I.D. operating and modulating control

  • lets burner remain on low fire on start-up if that is all that is needed (prevents short cycling)

  • modulates air and fuel rate by reacting to the rate of change and the magnitude of the steam pressure or water temperature away from the set point.

  • modbus interface

 

   
Linkageless Burner Control

servomotor drive

  • one motor on each driven device (air / fuel)

  • each fuel has separate settings for highest efficiency

  • digital control and communication

electronic control
  • outstanding annunciation
  • individual control for each fuel
  • P.I.D. control of water or steam
  • alternate set point capability
  • valve proving capability eliminates vent valve and vent piping expense

indicating and operating unit
  • 4 row, clear text display
  • all burner functions shown
  • Modbus interface for remote indication or operation

fan speed control
  • huge electrical savings
    • power varies as the cube of the speed
    • fan speed reduced as fuel input reduced

 

Oxygen trim control
  • allow -weishaupt- burners to run where their design allows (LOW excess air)
  •  accurate control
  • significant fuel savings

 

See our technical article pages for further discussions on the merits of PID control, oxygen trim and fan speed control.
