Hot Water with Thermal Shock Protection Modulating Lead/Lag
Features
- 2 to 4 Modulating Boilers
- Boiler Pump Sequencing
- Thermal Shock Protection
- Domestic Hot Water Priority
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.

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
