System Upgrades
Maximise Energy Savings and Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
Energy costs are one of the largest operating expenses for many businesses. Even a small reduction in energy consumption, just 2%, can translate into thousands of pounds in annual savings.
At Rowcom Technical Services Limited, we supply and install advanced burner control systems, variable speed drives, and feed pump inverters sourced from leading manufacturers. Whether you need a complete burner replacement or a control system upgrade, we provide tailored solutions that enhance performance, efficiency, and reliability while reducing energy costs and environmental impact.
Burner Control System Upgrades
Outdated burner controls can lead to poor pressure regulation, reduced reliability, and higher fuel usage. Upgrading to modern, high-efficiency controls provides:
- Improved combustion performance with better turndown ratios, offering up to 5% fuel savings and reduced CO₂ emissions
- Servo motors with ±0.1° accuracy, replacing outdated cams and linkages for precise control
- Dual setpoint control for low-demand periods, delivering up to 10% additional fuel savings
- Integrated functionality including burner control, gas leak detection, valve proving, flame supervision, PID modulation, and fuel/air ratio control
- Passcode protection to prevent unauthorised changes to critical combustion settings
- ComView Burner Management Software for advanced monitoring, logging, and remote access
- Oxygen trim control, optimising combustion and yielding up to 3.5% fuel savings
Variable Speed Fan Drives
Variable speed drives can be installed during a burner upgrade or as a retrofit. Benefits include:
- Reduced electrical energy consumption, particularly at low fire
- Quieter operation, with boiler house noise reduced by up to 50% at low fire
- Extended fan motor life due to reduced operational stress
- Enhanced low-fire combustion efficiency by precisely matching airflow to fuel input
- Improved burner turndown ratios without sacrificing efficiency
Traditional mechanical or basic electronic fuel/air ratio controls often struggle at low fire, allowing excess air and reducing efficiency. Variable speed control solves this by adjusting fan speed to match firing rates, improving overall system efficiency.
Feed Pump Inverters
Replacing conventional control valves with speed-controlled pump inverters provides:
- Improved boiler water level control via variable pump speed
- Reduced wear and tear on pumps and associated pipework
- Elimination of high-maintenance water valves
- Increased energy efficiency and longer system life
Benefits of Upgrading Your Systems
By modernising your burner controls, fan drives, and feed pumps, your operation can achieve:
- Lower fuel and electricity costs
- Improved system reliability and performance
- Reduced environmental impact and carbon footprint
- Better control, monitoring, and automation capabilities
