Information about Boiler Controllers

Boiler controllers monitor and maintain variables such as steam temperature and pressure in order to control a boiler’s burner or air mixture. They differ in terms of functionality, user interface, and form factor. Choices for boiler control functionality include: rate indication or control, totalizing, data logging, and chart recording. In terms of the user interface, boiler controllers may include a digital front panel or analog components such as knobs and switches. Computer-programmable, web-enabled, and network-ready boiler controls are commonly available. There are several form factors for boiler controllers. Some products are printed circuit boards (PCB). Others are designed for mounting in a rack, on a DIN rail, or on a wall, chassis, or cabinet enclosure. Stand-alone boiler controllers are benchtop or floor-standing units with a full-casing or cabinet and an integral interface.

Products & Services Related to Boiler Controllers

Environmental Controllers

Environmental controllers control environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and air pressure. The environment to control can be an office or workspace, or inside a chamber for testing or process purposes.

Flow Controllers

Flow controllers monitor and maintain flow-rate variables, typically in process applications.

Furnace Controllers

Furnace controllers are used to control temperature, heat delivery, and other variables in industrial furnaces. They control the burner flame, air mixture and trim to maintain and optimize furnace performance.

HVAC Controllers

HVAC controllers are used to monitor and control heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in buildings. They monitor indoor environmental factors such as temperature and humidity, and control heating and cooling to maintain desired levels.

Pressure Controllers

Pressure controllers accept input from pressure sensors, transmitters, gauges, and other devices and subsequently control adjustment to the pressure to maintain or achieve the desired pressure level.

Pump Controllers

Pump controllers monitor flow and/or level variables, and control a pump accordingly to maintain the desired levels. Pump control can include simply turning a pump on and off, or more advanced controls for pump speed, output pressure, etc.

Purge Controllers and Indicators

Purge controllers and indicators are used to regulate and monitor hazardous environments within enclosures.

Specialty Industrial Process Controllers

Specialty industrial process controllers are used in unlisted, specialized or proprietary applications.

Temperature Controllers

Temperature controllers accept inputs from temperature sensors or thermometers, and then output a control signal to keep the temperature at the desired level.
