Hot Water with Thermal Shock Protection Modulating Lead/Lag

Chief DispatcherFeatures

[Technical Information]

The Chief Dispatcher Model JC-CDHWTSP optimizes hot water system performance and helps extend boiler life.  Blend valves are used to allow off-line boiler warm-up and prevent thermal shock.

JC-CDHWTSP

2 to 4 Modulating Boilers

  • Hot water supply header temperature is maintained using accurate PID control
  • “Unison” boiler modulation to ensure even heat delivery
  • Lag boilers are brought up to the “Unison” firing rate using a predetermined Ramp Rate to meet the heating load with minimum overshoot
  • When desired, the operator may set the “Unison” firing rate manually
  • Each boiler has an individual boiler outlet temperature sensor
  • If any boiler approaches its high temperature shutdown limit, it will cut back its firing rate individually to prevent a boiler trip

Boiler Pump Sequencing

  • It keeps the lead boiler pump running to ensure accurate header temperature sensing
  • Provides pump shutdown delay for boiler cool down

Thermal Shock Protection

  • Individual boiler outlet 3 way recirculating valves are automatically positioned based on the boiler start sequence, boiler outlet and return water temperatures
  • If the boiler return water temperature drops below a low temperature setpoint, the valve opens to allow hot boiler outlet water to blend with cold return water temperature
  • During a cold startup, outlet water is recirculated by the 3-way valve until the boiler is warm, and then the valve is very slowly open to the header to bring the boiler on-line without thermal shock

Outdoor Reset

  • Saves energy by lowering supply header temperature setpoint as the outside air temp increases
  • Operating cost is reduced during warmer days
  • Hot water supply setpoint may be set manually

Time of Day / Week Setback

  • Saves energy by lowering supply header temperature setpoint during times when heating requirement is reduced, such as at night or on weekends and holidays

Domestic Hot Water Priority

  • A temperature switch will override any setpoint input and force the header supply temperature setpoint to a Domestic Hot Water Setpoint
  • A relay output is available to start a domestic hot water pump if required

Condensing Boiler Logic

  • Maximizes the number of boilers running near low fire to maximize efficiency
