Business management aspects

In addition to security of supply, economic aspects must also be considered.

Therefore, in addition to the maximum load, the partial load capacity of the components must also be taken into account in the planning when distributing output. The minimum load of the consumers should, if possible, be covered as far as possible by the smallest load of the smallest boiler (burner) in order to avoid cycling of the burner.

Cycling in low load conditions can be reduced by using a heat cylinder.

The operational efficiency in process control and industrial applications has always been and remains an important goal for system operators and designers. In view of rising energy costs and widespread environmental initiatives, energy savings in businesses are becoming increasingly important. Operators are faced with the task of finding ways to save resources while maintaining safety, quality, reliability and operating time.

The costs of producing media in auxiliary circuits are necessary expenses, but there are many opportunities for savings that can help reduce running costs and achieve environmental protection goals. However, efficient energy management requires accurate data collection and analysis. This is not possible without reliable measuring devices to monitor system processes and energy consumption. Based on the measured data, the operator can set indicative values to monitor process efficiency, identify potential savings and optimise operations.

There are several areas where optimisations are possible, for example:

• Heat consumption in the process
• Heating processes
• Boiler efficiency
• System efficiency
• Lowest possible flow and return temperatures
• As large a temperature difference as possible between the supply and return
