Glow bar ignition: Electrical glow bar(s) are initially activated by a start button on the SIMATIC Control panel. Automated infeed, ignition of the fuel and building of the firebed follows
Two options are available for automated boiler operation:
1. Drip-fed continuous burn maintains embers in the combustion chamber through the slow feeding of fuel and minimal ventilation. When heat is required the fuel feed and ventilation are automatically increased to meet the demand.
2. Glow bar ignition as needed. When heat requirements are low the boiler can be programmed to allow the fire to go out. Glow bar ignition is then reactivated by heat requirements or by timer, to restart the fire and heating process.
