Webster Combustion announces release of its enhanced auto air density trim system.

Temp-A-Trim, Webster’s patented burner control system, is designed to deliver fuel savings of up to 3% and electrical savings of up to 30%. After years of successful installations, Temp-A-Trim is now available on new or installed commercial and industrial boiler burners of any brand.

Temp-A-Trim works by precisely correcting for air density as the combustion air temperature changes to optimize combustion efficiency automatically. A built-in variable frequency drive (VFD) adjusts the fan speed based on incoming air temperature to create a constant air flow mass for combustion, assuring that the burner is always operating at maximum efficiency, thereby burning less fuel and reducing emissions.

One of the best features about Temp-A-Trim is that it can be retrofitted on any commercial or industrial boiler burner regardless of size or brand. Temp-A-Trim installs easily with no special setup or programming required, and it is compatible with both linkage and linkageless control systems

.

Temp-A-Trim also saves labor and downtime, because it reduces the need for seasonal burner tune-ups. The built-in VFD provides a soft start, producing less motor wear and reduced noise level. And finally, Temp-A-Trim’s air density control and VFD create opportunities for energy rebates, saving customers additional funds and making their return on investment even more enticing.

Ant Man hit theaters July 17th with Paul Rudd playing hero Scott Lang. Ant Man is a character from the Marvel Universe who can shrink to the size of -you guessed it – an ant. Along with his ability to shrink, he has super human strength. He truly is the tiniest protector of the Marvel Universe. The tiny protector in the ’Boiler Universe is called resin.

Resin is a collection of tiny beads that are negatively charged and are located inside a water softener. Their purpose is simple: to protect your boiler. They do this by filtering the water before it enters your boiler. If these tiny protectors were not present, the minerals in the water would cause pitting and scaling in your boiler which greatly reduce heat transfer efficiency.

Resin plays a pivotal role in keeping your water clean. It is something that you typically don’t see but is at the heart of your water softener. Without it, the feedwater to your boiler would be filled with impurities that would significantly reduce the useful life of your boiler.

So how does it work?

Water enters the water softener ’hard“.’ Hard is another way of saying that it is full of minerals and dissolved solids. These minerals are positively charged. When they flow through the water softener and across the negatively charged resin beads, an ION exchange occurs and the minerals attach themselves to the beads. This allows clean soft water to pass through to your boiler system.

Boilers are great tools. They are able to generate steam in a manner that helps industrial and commercial

industries flourish and keeps households comfortable. However, when not maintained or operated

properly, boilers can be dangerous. One aspect of keeping a boiler safe is an effective gas train.

A gas train is the apparatus of a boiler that feeds fuel into the burner. Gas trains usually consist of

multiple components. The first of these components is the sediment trap; it serves as a filter for the gas

entering the gas train and traps any sediment or impurities so that they are unable to enter the boiler.

The gas train also consists of a series of valves and switches. The Manual Shut-Off Valve (MSOV) shuts

down the fuel supply to the boiler so that maintenance may be done by boiler operators. The Gas Pressure

Regulator ensures that the pressure of the gas is maintained at the manufacturerðÌð•s recommended level. The

Low Pressure Gas Switch lets the boiler operator know when the pressure of the gas in the boiler is below

what it needs to be in order to operate. The Safety Shut-Off Valves (SSOV) work with the Vent Valve to

ensure that gas cannot enter the boiler during emergency situations. The High Gas Pressure Switch

automatically shuts down the burner when it senses that the gas pressure is too high. The gas train also

contains Firing Rate Valves, which ensure that a steady amount of fuel is sent to the burner, and Test

Valves, which enable the operator to test for leaks in the Safety Shut-Off Valves.

These valves and switches work together to ensure safety in boiler operation. They either enable the boiler

operator to shut down operation or simply shut down operation on their own. Making sure that these

components function properly is highly important to safety in any boiler room. This is because these

components are often the keys to preventing a catastrophic boiler explosion.

For example: if the gas valves within a boiler do not shut off, they can leak gas into the boiler while it is

not running. Then, when the boiler is started, the high amount of unnecessary gas causes an explosion.

The gas train system also helps control the flow and pressure of fuel within the boiler. In doing this, it

keeps the fuel pressure consistent, rather than unstable; an unstable fuel pressure can also lead to a boiler

explosion. Boiler operators can test to see if their gas train is functioning properly by administering a Leak Test or a

Bubble Test. These two names describe the process of connecting a hose to a test valve, placing the end

of the hose in a container of water, enabling pressure to come through the valve and counting the number

of bubbles in the container of water. Generally, less than 5 bubbles per minute is considered safe; any

more than that means that the valve is not functioning properly and needs to be repaired.

WARE is able to administer these tests for customers and provides this service on a set schedule for

customers with whom we have a Preventative Maintenance contract. We are also able to test the High and

Low Pressure Switches in order to ensure that they are operating properly. Conducting monthly

maintenance on your gas train system will ensure that your boiler is functioning not only efficiently, but safely as well
