ETC 6002 Burner Management System
The ETC6002 Burner Control System is a versatile, “IoT-ready” solution designed for dual fuel burners, delivering precise modulation for gas and stage-fired oil burners. Engineered for efficiency and compliance, it simplifies combustion control while enhancing performance.
Product specifics
The ETC6002 Burner Management System is engineered to manage dual-fuel burners, delivering precise control and enhanced efficiency in both gas and oil-fired operations. For gas burners, the ETC6002 supports full modulation, enabling the burner to adjust its output continuously in response to varying load demands. This capability ensures optimal fuel usage and performance, enhancing operational efficiency. For oil-fired burners, the system provides staged firing control, supporting configurations with two, three, four, or five stages. The staged firing system is integrated with a modulating air damper, ensuring the correct amount of combustion air is delivered at each stage, resulting in improved fuel efficiency and combustion performance.
Beyond managing fuel and air flow, the ETC6002 offers advanced options to further enhance burner efficiency. One such option is fan speed control via a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD). By modulating the fan speed in accordance with combustion demand, the VFD reduces energy consumption while improving overall system efficiency. This capability allows the burner to respond more precisely to load changes, minimising excess air and maximising fuel use efficiency.
A key feature of the ETC6002 is its compatibility with oxygen trim systems. Oxygen trim continuously monitors the oxygen levels in exhaust gases, adjusting the air-fuel ratio in real-time to maintain optimal combustion efficiency. This not only reduces fuel consumption but also lowers emissions, ensuring the burner operates at peak efficiency under varying conditions. The combination of VFD fan control and oxygen trim enables the ETC6002 to deliver substantial improvements in energy efficiency while ensuring safe and reliable operation across a wide range of scenarios.
Designed with flexibility in mind, the ETC6002 is ideally suited for facilities requiring dual-fuel capabilities and high performance. It ensures smooth transitions between gas and oil operations, while the advanced control features optimise fuel use in every mode. Whether operating on gas or oil, the ETC6002 offers superior control, enhanced efficiency, and the adaptability to meet diverse operational needs. By integrating fan speed control and oxygen trim, the system fine-tunes combustion processes to achieve maximum efficiency, leading to lower energy costs and reduced environmental impact.
