13. Variations in Air Composition  “Standard” air has 0.0177 LB. O 2 per FT 3  Hot, humid air has less O 2 per cubic ft  20% less at 95% RH, 120 O F, and 29.9 mm Hg  Dry, cold air has more O 2 per cubic ft  10% more at 0% RH, 32 O F, and 30.5 mm Hg  Standard Combustion controls must:  Allow at least 20% extra excess air because of the change in air density.

14. Variations in Air Composition

15. At these ambient conditions the burner has extra O 2 & N 2

19. The UtilitySaver Controller Right For the Job...

20. The UtilitySaver Panel Measured Flue Gas Oxygen Setpoint Organized, simple and to the point local operation Firing Rate % (shown) Steam PSIG Steam PSIG SP Oxygen % Oxygen SP Oxygen Trim % VFD Speed Fuel Valve Position Air Damper Position Boiler Efficiency Firing Rate

21. The UtilitySaver Panel  Enclosure -  Nema 12, 16 H x 14 W x 10 D  Controller -  PCC-III with “Z”, and “G” Option Boards.  Components -  VFD / Flame Safeguard interface relays  24Vac power supply transformer for DM-1E Actuators  Shielded cable for field wiring

22. The UtilitySaver Controller  PCC-III-ZG00  “Z” Option Board, Oxygen Analyzer  “G” Triac Outputs to Drive Electric Actuators  Constructed For Boiler Front Mounting  Intuitive Operation  Flexible, powerful blockware control logic  Built In Boiler Efficiency  F(x) Characterizers with “Learn” Mode  Commissioning Tools

23. UtilitySaver Features  Minimizing Damper Pressure Drop  Damper is 100% open for maximum kWh savings, (Partially closed at low fire to maximize burner turndown)  Fuel-Air Lead-Lag With Cross-Limiting  On a load increase, Air increases first. On a load decrease, Fuel decreases first.  Minimizes excess air during normal firing, and increases excess air during a load change for safety.  Excess air is limited during load changes for flame stability.

24. UtilitySaver Features  Independent Fuel-Air Ratio Curves  PCC-III "Learn" mode  Rapid, error free burner fuel-air ratio curve setup, with easy "Store" pushbutton operation.  Safety  Low flue gas oxygen trips the burner after an adjustable time delay.  VFD speed and actuator position feedbacks are continuously monitored. Burner trips after an adjustable time delay if any are out of position.  Real Time Boiler Efficiency  Continuous Oxygen Analyzer Diagnostics

25. Touch Screen Options 10 inch

26. In-Situ Oxygen Analyzer No separate analyzer, one less item to mount Field replaceable detector Only one conduit to stack.

27. In-Situ Oxygen Analyzer  Proven Reliable  Zirconia Oxide Sensor  No Reference Air  The probe uses ambient air as a reference.  Competitors use instrument air and run the risk of element cracking due to water  Automated, menu driven pushbutton calibration.  Automatic impedance checking  Alarms when time to recalibrate

28. Oxygen Analyzer Kit q Model ZP Oxygen Sensor, 20” Standard q Reliable Zirconia Oxide Cell q 60 ft ZP Cable q Mounting Hardware included

29. Boiler Efficiency Kit  PCC-III Controller calculates the ASME “by losses” method efficiency in real time. Kit Includes:  Flue Gas Temperature Assembly, Type J, p/n 104087C, with mounting flange  60 feet of shielded type J T/C extension cable

30. Actuator Kit  Torque: 150 in-lbs  Rotation:90° travel in 30 seconds  Aux. Switches:Integral 2 SPDT  Position Feedback: 600 ohm  Power Supply:24 Vac  (2)Linkages, (3)Lever Arms, (1)Mounting Bracket Two (2) DM-1E Actuators are Included: Jackshaft & Damper

32. Variable Speed Fan Air Flow Control  Variable Speed Drive (VSD) - The UtilitySaver package includes a full featured, quality drive.  Nema 12 Packaging - for worry free boiler room installation  Built in “DC Link” line reactor - for reduced electrical system harmonics distortion  “Soft Turn On” IGBT transistors - for reduced motor stress (lower peak voltages)

33. VSD Parts & Theory 5 Parts to a VSD  Rectifier  DC “Link” line reactor  Intermediate Circuit  Inverter (IGBT = Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor)  Control & Regulation

34. Motor Speed Control

35. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)  On or Off, voltage does NOT modulate.  PWM allows IGBT’s to run cool for long life, so better VSD’s use PWM.  However, PWM dV/dt causes spike voltages

36. “Soft Turn On” IGBTs  dv/dt - Change in Voltage over Time  Competitor’s Drives - up to 3500V/us  UtilitySaver Drive - 900V/us  Due to Patented “Soft Turn On” IGBT’s  Lower Peak Voltages Extend Motor Insulation Life  460V, 75 Hp motor:  815V peak for 50 ft cable

37. Automatic Over Ramp Protection  The UtilitySaver VFD will not trip when given a “STEP” speed increase of 0 to 100 %  The drive automatically limits the rate of fan speed increase to that which will prevent an over current trip.  Other drives do not have this feature. Other drives may trip if the speed is increased too quickly.
