If a measured steam pressure falls below the setpoint, the PID increases the boiler firing rate, and conversely if the measured steam pressure rises higher than the setpoint, the PID will decrease the firing rate demand.

Steam is the ideal medium for moving heat around, and nothing else comes close, writes Seven Taylor.

As the commercial water heating industry continues to focus on decarbonization, one of the most important considerations for engineers is a building's total energy usage and how different technologies can impact this number.

An inaugural panel discussion at BOILER 2024 launches new professional community.

Understanding the best solution for converting to a condensing vent system requires a primer in venting.

Following BOILER 2022, I was in awe of what we accomplished with planning and executing a new conference and trade show coming out of a global pandemic but realized we needed to quickly transition to how we were going to top the inaugural event.

Boiler technology has come a long way in the past 70 years, and a lot of its major advancements have been in the area of efficiency. 

The Comet Burner can be supplied as part of a complete combustion system that can include draft control, feedwater control, multiple boiler lead/lag control, or plant master control. 

While most data centers use air-cooled chillers that have free cooling coils to benefit from lower ambient conditions, air-cooled, magnetic bearing centrifugal chillers can operate at inverted conditions and provide free cooling without the need for additional coils.

Whether it’s engineering a new campus distribution system, reengineering one, or adding an extension to one for a new building on the campus, hydraulic modeling is an essential design tool.
