Controllers for central heating boilers - operating principle
Various types of controllers have been used in industry for a long time, allowing for the automation of selected processes, including the management of the operation of machines and systems. This is a great convenience that allows for the improvement of process management. The possibilities offered by modern technology are also used in everyday life. Modern controllers and compatible central heating boilers allow for convenient control of the operation and temperature level in the facility. Thanks to controllers and modern heating solutions, it is possible to reduce the adverse effect on the environment.
The method of operation may differ, depending on the heating variant. The most common are currently gas heating, heat pumps, and photovoltaics. Depending on the method, other control mechanisms are used. In the case of central heating boilers for solid fuels, controllers are special modules that support the optimization of the heating system. Equipped with special sensors, they control the temperature of the system and, depending on its level, cause a specific reaction.
When the temperature in the system increases, the control system is activated, the task of which is to maintain the appropriate temperature level and prevent excessive growth. Then, when the temperature in the system drops below the set level. The controller therefore allows you to set the temperature range in which, for example, a heat pump will operate. The ability to obtain control is a tangible benefit for users - increased comfort or reduced heating bills.
Types of drivers
Depending on the heating model, there are various controllers available for central heating boilers. In practice, they can be divided into two basic categories - wired and wireless controllers. The difference between them is of course the presence or absence of cables. In wired solutions, the controller is most often installed directly at the heating boiler, and the programmer, equipped with a temperature sensor, is located in another room. Both devices are connected to each other by an appropriately routed wiring system.
Currently, an alternative to ball versions are wireless systems, in which information between individual system elements is transmitted via radio communication. Therefore, devices that transmit and receive the signal will be necessary. Modern communication methods for controllers are based on the use of the WiFi standard, but their operation will require a home wireless Internet network. This control option brings additional benefits, as it allows for remote control of home heating and control of the temperature in the home. Monitoring is possible thanks to a special, dedicated application that is downloaded to a smartphone.
Boiler controllers in the Onninen offer
Selecting the right controller variant is crucial for the proper functioning of the entire system. It is precisely because of the efficiency of operation that the appropriate selection of the control device is so important.
One of the control devices available in our offer is the ESBE ata212 draft controller , operating in the temperature range from 35 to 95 degrees. One of the characteristic features of the device is high precision of operation, thanks to which the control of the operation of the central heating furnace or boiler is effective and convenient. Thanks to the controller, you can significantly reduce heating costs. This model, due to the power of the order of 10n, will be perfect for small and medium-sized heating installations.
An alternative solution is the Dk System EKOSTER 200 temperature controller controlling the central heating pump . The product prepared by the Polish manufacturer is exceptionally durable and solid. A big advantage is its ease of use. Low weight and attractive design will be an additional advantage for many. The device is characterized by a wide range of operating temperatures, from 35, even up to 99 degrees Celsius.
The type of controller depends on, among other things, the heating variant. In systems powered by a pump, different solutions are used than in the case of gas heating. In gas installations, the role of the controller is taken over by, for example, the Watts RT10N draft regulator , prepared by the manufacturer Watts Industries Italia SRL. Its task is to regulate the gas flow in the installations. For the correct operation of the gas heating system, it is important that the pressure in the system is maintained at a constant level. Using the RT10N regulator is a guarantee of safety, which in the case of natural gas should be paid special attention to.
