Demand Load Management

Within a boiler system, the operating steam pressure and hot water temperature must always be maintained at a constant level regardless of the load demand placed on the system. “In a multi-boiler plant, demand-load management optimizes the distribution of steam demand among the units and adjusts the overall output to meet working requirements.

By adopting a proper demand load scheduling technique, one can easily cut down the running cost of the boiler plant since via this technique, firing of boilers take place only in case of actual need. On the other hand, demand-load scheduling can be used to run each boiler for exactly equal periods of time.


Main Features

Major features of demand-load management in boiler systems are listed below:
  1. Base load or modulating operation
  2. Parallel or serial demand sharing
  3. Boiler banking operation and programmable sequence selection
