d. Temperature / Time‐based Stepping Start Combination
This method combines methods b and c and if set correctly, is the fastest way to safely
warm the boiler. The settings are similar to method b, but now parameter
MaxTmeMod is set to have an effect (10 minutes for example). When this is done, the
maximum time that a step‐up in load will take is 10 minutes, regardless of the
temperature change. If the temperature change defined by StageSetp_Mod happens
before the 10 minutes elapses, then the temperature change will trigger the step‐up in
load.
When this mode is used, time usually triggers the load steps at the start of boiler
warming and temperature change usually triggers the load steps closer to the
ThresholdOff temperature. This is due to the more rapid rise in boiler temperature at
higher firing rates.
After parameters are set for one of the methods above, set parameter ColdStartOn to activated.
5.
The next time the burner is started and the water temperature is below the ThresholdOn
temperature, cold start should engage.
Below are typical settings for each of the four ways cold start can be set up.
