If a measured steam pressure falls below the setpoint, the PID increases the boiler firing rate, and conversely if the measured steam pressure rises higher than the setpoint, the PID will decrease the firing rate demand.
Steam is greener than many realize, and additional fuel sources like hydrogen and even ammonia may become a more viable way to fire a boiler to provide steam.
As the commercial water heating industry continues to focus on decarbonization, one of the most important considerations for engineers is a building's total energy usage and how different technologies can impact this number.
Following BOILER 2022, I was in awe of what we accomplished with planning and executing a new conference and trade show coming out of a global pandemic but realized we needed to quickly transition to how we were going to top the inaugural event.
The Comet Burner can be supplied as part of a complete combustion system that can include draft control, feedwater control, multiple boiler lead/lag control, or plant master control.
Today’s heat pump technologies provide a variety of ways to help building owners comply with regulations around decarbonization and meet their ESG goals.
