How does automation for a solid fuel boiler work?

Modern life is impossible to imagine without the automation of various processes. Automation is a set of devices that ensure the normal and continuous operation of various devices and apparatus. Automated systems must include devices that will monitor the safety of their operation. This is especially important for heating systems with a solid fuel boiler.

The principle of operation of the automation of a solid fuel boiler

Automatic systems for solid fuel boilers are able to exercise full control over the operation of equipment, heat generation and the process of heating the room. At the same time, a person can only set the optimal temperature level and load fuel in a timely manner.

Automation is able to control the combustion process in the furnace.

Automation for a solid fuel boiler may include:

    Control unit, or microprocessor. This device can be called the brain center of automation, since its task is to analyze all the data received by the device from the smoke exhauster, fan, and other elements of the system. The temperature and comfort in the house depends on the microprocessor.
  1. Fan. It is used to regulate the air supply to the fuel combustion chamber. Under the control of the electronic unit, it can change the volume of air supplied in a matter of seconds.
  2. The circulation pump controller is a device that allows the boiler to work correctly and efficiently, to use energy efficiently for heating.

The use of automation for a solid fuel boiler allows you to maintain the temperature set by the user at the same level. Other advantages also include the possibility of using any solid fuel and improving the process of its combustion.

How does the thrust regulator work?

The principle of the device is to control air flow. The algorithm of its action is as follows:

    During the combustion of fuel, the coolant is heated and expanded, which acts on the actuator, compressing the spring.
  1. As a result, the chain is weakened, which leads to the closure of the damper and a decrease in the outlet cross-section. Thus, the amount of air entering the furnace decreases, so the combustion process also slows down.
  2. Due to the decrease in combustion intensity, the coolant gradually cools and contracts. This causes the spring to return to its original state.
  3. After the combustion in the firebox stops, the spring causes the door to open completely.

Is it worth installing automation on a solid fuel boiler?

Answering the question of whether automation is needed for a solid fuel boiler, experts unanimously give a positive answer. Thanks to it, it is possible not only to automate the process of heating the room and constantly maintain the desired temperature, but also to reduce the amount of fuel used.
