Linkage vs Parallel Positioning - Boiling Point

[@Misterprepper]

I’m with a heating contractor in NYC, single point positioning is here in a big way, now with the removal of 6 oil all the buildings are firing gas mostly with 2 oil as back up and below 20deg F, Siemens has cornered the Market up here with all the engineers, there was a conversion frenzy for the past 10 years, New York State gave tax incentives and grants to buildings to upgrade there heating systems and ConEd gave fuel discounts if buildings stayed solid gas for 5 years, we intern became very busy installing new boilers, burners, new gas main services etc. but the issue was no one really new parallel positioning, I wasn’t there in the begging but was told it took a few days with the rep to start up the first burner, up until then 6 oil and Rotary burners were king in NYC, I have trained with what I say are the best mechanics I’ve came across 2 old school guys that stayed a head of the curve of technology very rare, I was fortunate to be trained by them, I was a residential heating tech for 10 years I knew nothing of commercial, but the rite training has brought me farther then I imagined, but I digress, parallel positioning is great being able to carry a 4-5% O2 threw the curve on either fuel, very hard to near impossible with single point positioning, someone who has studied and continues to learn about Combustion can appreciate that, I love to see videos like this and believe you guys are the only ones doing it, your videos are great, it sucks we only have a few jobs here with Auto Flame and Honeywell, I’m gathering in other parts of the country there’s more of that, keep up the great work it is appreciated.

Thanks for sharing your story of being in the field and the stuff you have learned. Hopefully our content continues to be of help to you and your career. The old guard of single point positioning has it's place but for high efficiency parallel positioning is the way to go. More and more it is becoming computerized which allows it to become more efficient. Thanks for watching!

Hey where in NYC u work? Whats your IG? I work NYCHA owned boilers at diff housing developments

[@nicsye12]

Excellent demonstration of a concept I have to explain to so many customers. Thanks for putting this together along with all of your videos. So valuable.

i guess im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a tool to get back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid lost the login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me

@Lian Cassius Instablaster :)

[@liancassius2361]

@Ricky Anthony I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out atm. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.

[@liancassius2361]

@Ricky Anthony it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thank you so much you really help me out !

[@rickyanthony3900]

@Lian Cassius you are welcome :)

Pretty scary to see all those linkage rods. We had a water tube Cleaver Brooks 300 horsepower Boiler that blew the side doors off do to a linkage braking off and causing the Boiler to over feed it with fuel and caboom! Now they all were upgraded with Servos to control the entire burner assembly. Those linkages will brake and u don’t want to be in the Boiler room when they do. I was in the control room when it happened...I’m just glad our fire tube was not the one that blew cause I would not be writing this comment should that boiler would have blown.

I like all our training programs in KZbin. KZbin is a great school after all

[@wareboilers]

While we have a lot of information on our channel (and KZbin has a good bit of information in general) nothing beats getting trained by professionals. Make sure to always be up to date on your training! Thanks for watching!

[@CrzyMav]

Those linkage are truly scary. We had our 300 Hp water tube Boiler explode when of of these little linkages broke. It was upgraded with servos, thank God! Not like the Servos won't fail but it looks like a much safer design.

[@wareboilers]

Servos are the way of the future. I think most boilers will be upgraded to servo motors as time goes on. Better efficiency and safer. Thanks for watching!

[@StreetbikeSteve]

Wow, I need to get back school... Great video

[@wareboilers]

Hey Steve, consider attending our trainings. www.wareinc.com/boiler-training/boiler-university

[@lescobrandon1380]

How does auto flame compare to Honeywell? is there an advantage for one?

[@walrus4248]

Really interesting video, thanks@

[@shaheedkhanmuhammad9597]

Thank you for sharing. I have a request if I may. For training purposes can you show The sequence of operation after you cut on the on switch. From draft to the fuel line spark igniter to combustion? Thank you

[@wareboilers]

Are you looking for a video from the controls side of things or what goes on inside of the boiler? We have a two part series that covers the flame safeguard system in a boiler. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZjTcoWIfpuMnq8 Let us know if this helps! Thanks

[@dukeskylar]

so basically single points are linkages and parallel is for systems with actuators?

[@wareboilers]

That's a good basic breakdown of it. Parallel system is a bunch of servos that are being controlled by a computer system. Thanks for the comment!

[@CheiithooCat]

Great video i didnt watch before how that could be posible. I always excited to watch the weeks video every week... thanks guys...

[@josephrodriguez1540]

Very impressive. Good video. I had single point system/linkage. I call that Frankenstein's mechanism.:-) I have 2 Boilers, 400 hp and 500 hp low pressure.

[@wareboilers]

Parallel Positioning is the way to go. No more slippage is the best selling point. The device knows exactly where it's at and it will continue to be true. If you'd ever like to talk about upgrading your boilers to servos please contact us! Also thank you for the comment! Glad you liked the video
