A great setpoint increase (to be set separately on each boiler) allows the lead boiler to
provide control while the relevant lag boiler operates at full capacity. This way, it is
made certain that several boilers with their burner stages do not cycle simultaneously.
With a small setpoint increase, or no increase at all, the relevant lag boiler also pro-
vides control. This can be especially desirable in the case of boiler sequences with
several modulating burners.
Boiler sequence with 4 boilers and modulating burners as an example.
Lag boilers with small setpoint increase or no increase at all.

Burner stage modulating
In the case of boilers with greatly different capacities (e.g. second boiler twice the ca-
pacity of the first boiler), the second boiler can be put into operation after the first boiler
and the first boiler is shut down. The first boiler resumes operation only when both
stages of the second boiler are on. This ensures a better graduation of the total boiler
output.
This approach can be chosen only if the output of the basic stage of boiler 2 exceeds
the rated capacity of boiler 1. If this strategy is chosen, a fixed boiler sequence makes
sense, thereby ensuring that the same boiler is always boiler no. 2.
