• Using the same example, as the load decreased, Stage "B" would
modulate down to its Ignition % . Stage "A" would then modulate down to
30% . Only then, Stage "B" turns off .
• If the Lag Delay is set to anything other than 0, a stage must always
go to 100% modulation before the next stage is activated . However,
the Modulation Start should still be set correctly as it is used during
modulation reduction .
• The Modulation Start will generally be set differently based on the
Modulating Mode:
Modulating Mode - NORMAl
• Lower Modulation Start setting allows the lag boiler to be activated and
warmed up early for smoother output and better target control .
• Higher Modulation Start settings can prevent unnecessary stages from
being activated .
• Some general guidelines to follow:
○
Less than 50% - not recommended in the Normal Modulating Mode .
○
50-70% - These lower settings might be used in an application that
has wide load swings such as an industrial plant or a hospital . This
allows an additional boiler to be brought on line before the previous
boiler has begun to reach its capacity .
○
70-90% - This range is recommended for most applications . When
there are several stages of relatively equal capacity and all can be
used to hold the load, this allows some degree of overlap, without
activating unnecessary stages .
○
90-100% - Recommended when one stage can always handle the
load while the other stages are mainly used for backup .
Modulating Mode - PARAllel
• The Modulation Start should be set to the maximum value where the unit
runs most efficient .
○
Less than 30% - These lower settings are recommended for
condensing boilers with high turn-down ratios of 4 to 1 or greater .
○
30-50% - These settings are recommended for the rest of all
condensing boilers .
