- Hot water reset
Hot water reset is an energy-saving
automatic control algorithm for hotwater boiler s that are typically fired withfuel oil ornatural gas . A hot water reset control loop measures the outside airtemperature ; this information is used to estimate demand or heating load as the outdoor temperature varies. The supply hot water temperature is modulated up and down range in an inverselinear ratio to outside air temperature. The typical range for conventional boilers is to vary the supply water temperature from 140 to 180°F as the outside temperature varies from 65 to 0°F.Implementation
The control system can be made modulate the supply water temperature in two different ways:
#By acting as an operating control on the boiler burners, either modulated on/off, high/low fire, or fully modulating fire, depending on the burner construction. When modulating the actual boiler temperature lower, water temperature needs to have a low limit and be maintained above theflue gas condensation temperature for non-condensing type boilers, typically above 140°F. Condensing type boilers can be made to operate at temperatures below the flue gas condensation limit and raise stated efficiencies from the 85% to 95% range.
#By acting as an operating control on a three-way powered mixing valve or proportional injection pump system that modulates the supply distribution hot water temperature. The mixing valve or mixing pump system recirculates the return water temperature and adds proportionally supply hot water from the boiler for tempering to achieve the desired supply water temperature.
