The boiler controller allows a user to start and shut down a boiler.
Use the Reset, Start, and Light Pilot controls to sequentially start the boiler.
Use the Fuel Control Valve change the flow of fuel into the boiler.
Use the Stop Boiler button to shut down the boiler.
To shut down the system or in the event of an emergency, use the Emergency Stop button to close the application completely.
|
Emergency Stop Stop the application within 100ms. The boiler controller should not stop until it receives confirmation that the boiler stopped. |
|
Reset Reset the boiler. Activate the Run Interlock on the boiler. |
|
Start Start the primary fan for the pre-purge cycle. This fan runs for a fixed period of time. |
|
Light Pilot Start the flow of gas and ignite the pilot. The flame sensor on the boiler measures the level of the pilot flame. When the flame level reaches its threshold, the controller increases the fuel control valve to 10% and turns on the forced draft fan. The flow of gas to the pilot stops and the pilot turns off. At this point, the boiler is running. |
|
Stop Boiler Turn off the boiler and initiate a purge cycle. The fuel valve closes and the flame level is reduced to zero. The primary fan turns on to start the purge cycle, which lasts for a fixed period of time. At the end of this cycle, the system is back in its initial state. |
|
Fuel Control Valve Change the amount of fuel flowing into the boiler. Until the boiler is running, this value remains at 0. Once the boiler is running, the value may range from 10-75%. |
|
Status Indicates the current state of the system. |
|
Primary Fan The primary fan runs during purge cycles to clear any combustible gasses that have accumulated in the system. |
|
Pilot Gas Valve The pilot gas valve controls the flow of fuel to the pilot flame. |
|
Pilot The pilot flame ignites the fuel provided to the boiler through the fuel control valve. |
|
Forced Draft Fan The forced draft fan ensures that sufficient airflow is provided to the combustion chamber while the boiler is running. |
