Yeshiva University in New York City was hindered by an obsolete burner system that was expensive to operate and prone to downtime. Administrators recently approved the installation of a breakthrough, energy-saving control system on one of their many industrial combustion (IC) burners. A large reduction in burner fan speed was immediately apparent, which led to direct savings on electricity from day one.
Aging boiler rooms can result in high costs and end-user headaches. To solve the problems posed by these obsolete systems, many boiler professionals are making the move to an efficient and easy-to-install system for retrofitting that is “linkageless.” A linkageless control strategy provides microprocessor-based independent control for fuel and air, enabling the system to operate more efficiently. A successful implementation of this technology was recently accomplished at Yeshiva University.
