BurnerMate Boiler Control

The BurnerMate TS Boiler Management System is a combined boiler control, flame safeguard and monitoring system with a touch screen operator interface. The BurnerMate TS is a full scope control package, that assures safe and efficient boiler control with undivided responsibility.

Fuel-Air Ratio Control

• Independently Controlled Fuel and Air Servo Actuators - save fuel by accurately positioning fuel valves and air damper according to load
• Flue Gas Oxygen Trim - is used to continuously adjust (trim) the fuel-air ratio
• Variable Speed Fan Combustion Air Flow Control - minimizes damper pressure drop related fan power usage
• Real Time Boiler Efficiency Display - allows the boiler operator to instantly identified inefficiencies and potential operational problems
• Safety - Flue gas temperature and oxygen are monitored. Low flue gas oxygen trips the burner after an adjustable time delay
• Single Point Positioning Control - is field selectable when a simpler installation is desired. The Link Trim Actuator may be mounted in-line with the air damper linkage to provide oxygen trim functions.

Boiler Auxiliary Control (separate module)

• Feedwater Valve Control - drum level and steam flow sensor inputs allow the controller to respond properly during substantial load swings
• Draft Damper Control - "GAP" PID and firing rate feedforward control features assure stable draft even during load changes
• Two Auxiliary Servo Controls - are available for Flue Gas Recirculating (FGR) or other load dependent devices
• Economizer Monitoring - Sensor inputs are provided to monitor water and flue gas in and out of the economizer

Flame Safeguard Protection

• Flame Safeguard - provides burner sequencing, ignition and flame monitoring
• UV or IR Flame Scanners - are applied based on the application
• Current Burner Operation Status includes - Flame signal, sequence of operation, diagnostic and "First Out" cause of lockout messages
• Optional Historical Burner Data inlcudes - last six lockout conditions, number of burner cycles and burner run time hours
• Auxiliary Device Interlock - boiler room fresh air dampers and fuel oil pump call of operation is included

Touch Screen Operator Terminal

• 10 or 6 Inch Display Sizes - 10.4" TFT 256 color VGA 640 x 480 pixel LCD or 5.7" CSTN 256 Color QVGA 320 x 240 pixel LCD
• Password Protection - user configurable options and parameters, external commissioning tools are not required
• Real Time & Historical Trending - is a standard feature, optioanl extended data collection allows historical alarm and event data to be exported to MS Excel
• X/Y Plots - for intuitive fuel-air curve display and commissioning

Advanced External Communications

• Intranet Network - Ethernet connection is available for Building Automation System (BAS), SCADA system or standard internet browser communication
• Telephone Modem (optional) - allows communication to a remote user over standard analog telephone lines
• RS-485 Modbus Interface - is available to communicate to an external flame safeguard that is existing or supplied by others

Advanced Communication

 

	Internet, Web Site Access A standard WEB Browser provides remote monitoring and operation. Custom Software is not required. Historical alarm and event data can be imported to spreadsheet applications such as MS Excel
	Intranet Communication The ethernet communication port is easily assigned an IP address and connected to a facility wide network. Remote monitoring, control and data collection is available via a standard WEB Browser. Building Automation Systems and SCADA Systems are interfaced via industry standard MODBUS Ethernet communication
	Touch Screen Operator Interface Terminal Monitor and control boiler operation, setpoints, and process data from one convenient display. Commissioning activities are laid out in an easy to follow step by step procedure, eliminating the need for knowledge of controller menus and programming languages
	DCS-III Programmable Controller The DCS-III is a state-of-the-art boiler-focused programmable logic controller. The large I/O quantity, small sub-panel foot print, intuitive "Blockware", redundant memories, and built-in industry standard communications allows the DCS-III to be integrated into complex boiler control systems with a minimum number of external components

Controls

The BurnerMate TS gives you a Complete Control of your boiler room at your finger tips...

Boiler Overview

• One display to control and monitor boiler operation
• Setpoints and process data are readily available all on one screen

Easy Commissioning

• Boiler setup and tuning is a display driven fill-in-the-blanks operation. The need for laptops and blockware knowledge is eliminated
• Air and Oxygen setpoint curves are easily setup by following the step-by-step instruction on the Touch Screen Operator Interface

Remote Control and Monitoring

• By using a standard web browser, a boiler operator can monitor and control his boiler from any remote location
• The optional SCADA/Flex Distributed Control System provides remote operation, graphic display of information, alarm message displays, alarm printing, and remote boiler tuning capabilities

Alarm and Event Summary

• Alarms, events and operator actions are logged with time/date stamp and description

Real Time & Historical Trending

• Easy to use multiple pen charts allow quick boiler assessment and maintenance monitoring
• Optional extended data collection allows historical, alarm and event data to be exported to MS Excel

Flame Safeguard

The BurnerMate system is engineered to be in compliance with the latest Factory Mutual and NFPA 85 standards. The systems are manufactured, tested and labeled according to UL 508 standards.

An externally-mounted LCD backlit display has two lines of sixteen characters each.

Status

Easy to understand display of current burner operating status includes

• Flame Signal
• Sequence of operation
• Diagnostics
• "First Out" messages

Historical

User-selectable historical displays includes:

• The last six lockout conditions
• Number of burner cycles
• Burner hours

Features

• Flame Safeguard System provides proper burner sequencing, ignition, and flame monitoring
• The system uses a fail-safe, "de-energize" to trip design
• Detailed safety shutdown message
• Equipped with a drum level conductivity probe relay
• Proof of purge, low fire position interlocks, and fuel valve end switch safety checks are also included
