10. If main-flame is detected the H-Net control holds the
burner at the low-fire rate for the MODULATION
DELAY time period. After this timer expires, the PID
allows the boiler to modulate and places the boiler into
the running state.
As boilers are added to the system settings in the
ADVANCED
SETUP:ADAPTIVE MOD:DROP DOWN
menu determines
when the modulation rate drops down to compensate for the
newly added BTUs. For the drop down to be active, one
boiler needs to be running when a new boiler is added (see:
Introduction: The KN-SERIES H-Net Control: Master ).
If all boilers are firing, the modulation rate is released to go
to 100%. If all boilers are not firing, the modulation is
limited to the MOD-MAX clamp value. The MOD-MAX
clamp is used to keep the boilers running as efficiently as
possible. The following
Mixed Boiler System Operation:
Selecting Mixed Boilers section outlines this with examples.
NOTE: If the boiler is running as a stand-alone boiler or
is direct modulated (including the AA input),
the MOD-MAX clamp will also be in effect
for the ADD BOILER DELAY time. This is to
minimize thermal shock to the boiler.
Once the header water temperature is in the heating band,
only the modulation rate is used to achieve the target
setpoint. The system will maintain the setpoint until the load
demand increases or decreases.
As the load decreases, the header water temperature will
start approaching the top of the band. The PID now lowers
the modulation rate to the boilers, attempting to keep the
temperature within the heating band. If the system is
delivering too many BTUs, the water temperature will cross
the top of the heating band.
When the header water temperature first exceeds the top of
the heating band, the boilers are again checked for the one
with the most runtime. The selected boiler will turn off
immediately and a shed boiler delay timer will be loaded
with the delay time. This time will need to expire before the
next boiler will be stopped, but only if the header water
temperature remains above the heating band. This timer is
used to allow the header water temperature to return back
into the band when a boiler is stopped. When a boiler is
stopped there is a fixed rate of BTUs (Min Fire) that will be
removed (PID discontinuity to modulate from Min Fire to 0
BTUs on a boiler). The timer allows for this loss of BTUs.
This cycle will continue until the call for heat is satisfied or
the Warm Weather Shutdown feature is enabled.
Mixed Boiler Types Using
Priority Sets
Using the Basic Multi Boiler System Operation , a MIXED
boiler Priority method may be added to control condensing,
non-condensing, base load, or other boiler
SETs in a system
together. These sets compose a system which provides for
optimal performance and economy. Having dedicated sets
of boilers gives the system engineer a tool to create many
different boiler systems.
A boiler set can be constructed by simply setting the firing
Priority on each boiler (to be in a set) at the same priority.
Setting all (example) condensing boilers to the highest
Priority of 1, and then setting all (example) non-condensing
boilers to a Priority of 2, will create (2) sets of boilers, one
condensing and the other non-condensing. Once this is
done, the Priority 1 set of condensing boilers will have a
firing order that has a higher Priority and is independent of
the other non-condensing set with the lower priority. The
boiler set with the highest Priority can then be fired based
on a conditional settings menu. The lower Priority set will
follow.
Mixed Boiler System Operation
Starting Boilers:
When a boiler is to be fired (water temp is below the heating
band), the Master checks the HeatNet boilers it has
available. The Master boiler then looks at which boilers are
returning Priority firing status (set on a boiler in:
(ADVANCED SETUP:SYSTEM:BOILER
TYPE:PRIORITY :
1 ). If the Start condition for the
Priority 1set is met (ADVANCED SETUP:FIRING MODE:
MODE: MIXED:SET
FIRST ( example ), the Master or
Member boiler that is configured as PRIORITY 1, with the
lowest runtime, will be fired
FIRST ( example ).
As long as the start condition for Priority 1 is met, all
boilers in the PRIORITY 1 set will fire based on runtime.
Once all boilers in the PRIORITY 1 set have fired, the
PRIORITY 2 set of boilers will fire based on runtime.
If the Start condition changes and/or is not met (such as
with: OA T or RET temp), the PRIORITY 2 set of boilers
will fire first/next based on runtime. This has the effect of
flipping the Priority of the sets.
Stopping Boilers:
When a boiler is to be stopped (water temp is above the
heating band), the Master checks the HeatNet boilers it has
available. The Master boiler then looks at which boilers are
returning Priority firing status (set on a boiler in:
(ADVANCED SETUP:FIRING MODE: MODE:

Priority 1 is met, the Master or Member boiler that is
