Steam Modulating Lead/Lag

Chief DispatcherFeatures

[Technical Information]

The Chief Dispatcher Model JC-CDST optimizes steam system performance and helps extend Cast Iron Sectional, Finned-Tube, Fire Box, Flexible Tube or Firetube boiler life.

2 to 10 Modulating Boilers

  • Boiler firing rates are automatically adjusted to satisfy the overall plant steam heating load using accurate PID control
  • When desired, the Operator may set the firing rate manually

Warm Standby

  • Each off-line boiler is periodically started and held at low fire until it returns to the Warm Standby Temperature
  • This feature helps minimize thermal shock on the boiler when called on-line

"Base Load Auto-Shift"

  • Lag boilers are “Base Loaded” for efficiency, but will increase or decrease the firing rate to “Help” the Lead Boiler.  This method minimizes boiler on/off cycling due to short term load swings while maximizing total boiler plant efficiency
  • “Unison” modulating can be field selected (all boilers fire at the same rates)
