Energy management with a system Edition 10.12 GB Control engineering and combustion technology for comfortable heating
2 Energy management with a system Edition 10.12 Here is where the sparks fly! In the Heating Development Department at Elster Kromschröder, the enthusiasm of the staff for their task is palpable. Computer simulations, testing lines and prototypes command the scene; the atmosphere is dominated by targeted creativity. It excites a kind of energy where sparks must fly. Elster Kromschröder is developing all at once a wide range of often groundbreaking innovations in control engineering and combustion technology. Flexibility is therefore essential. Specialists from various disciplines are working together on these projects. The particular benefit to the customer can be seen in many details. This energy has earned the company the worldwide reputation as a leading innovator. This results in extensive orders by numerous branded companies from the heating industry and many operators of heating systems. All those involved benefit from trusting partnerships. In this way, the widest range of ideas and experiences complement each other to become conclusive overall concepts. For customized system solutions (OEM), product developers at the customers premises are an integral component of this process. It is always a question of optimum burner operation.

4 Energy management with a system Edition 10.12 These ideas spark off at once! Both technologically and commercially. Elster Kromschröder is therefore focussing on reducing the development, production and maintenance costs of its units and system solutions. Our business partners and their customers benefit from energy management with a system from us not only because of the time and cost advantages on investment and during operation, but also because of the increased energy efficiency and the control convenience. Our technology is distinguished by flexible planning, resource saving production and logistics, fault-tolerant and lowmaintenance operation and a high degree of reusability of every component. Find out more at: www.comfort-controls.de about the gain in comfort with products by Elster Kromschröder. Here you can find the complete product range for control engineering and combustion technology. Whatever energy source lies at the heart of your activities we offer you convincing solutions. The controller is pleased...... because sterling work has been done in the laboratory.

In the Project Teams specialists from different disciplines complement one another. Our sales and marketing structure, logistics system and customer service are exactly tailored to the needs of our customers. You can find customer- and system-specific services in our branch offices and agencies in over 60 countries covering every continent. And of course we are present at all the relevant trade fairs. Fast responses All of our divisions rely on teams of specialized staff. From development and production through to quality assurance, responsibility lies in their hands. In this way we combine core competencies and are at all times in a position to offer our customers individuallytailored solutions in a rapid and flexible manner. Large apartment buildings need a strong heating capacity. With valvario from Elster Kromschröder, safety devices with an integrated control function are available in every design desired for forced draught burners of any size. The modular gas combination control for customized combination for different burner capacity controllers makes a real contribution in terms of energy saving. The modulating fan control ensures conceivably quiet operation. A variety of additional components is available for many special solutions. flexible comp Quality assured Extensive information The certificates awarded by national and international licensing authorities and test institutes prove the worldwide recognition of our products. We are committed to co-operating with standards bodies, thus ensuring that innovations are converted into international standards. All the operating sites meet the criteria for the standard DIN EN ISO 9001. This brochure cannot of course pick up on every detail. Therefore visit our website.

6 Energy management with a system Edition 10.12 The costs will not burn a hole in your pocket! CONTROL ENGINEERING Communication systems In the controlling and distribution of heat, electronics play a decisive role. The smooth interplay between all the components is achieved using communication systems such as OpenTherm, ebus or CAN bus. The controller range by Elster Kromschröder thus sets standards for compatibility, functionality, investment and operating costs of heating systems. We offer you the complete range from a single source to this end. Our customer list in the OEM domain therefore reads as a real who s who of the burner and boiler manufacturing branch. System controllers Being able to adjust room temperatures exactly to match usual habits only means a real gain in comfort if, on the bottom line, energy savings and reductions in CO 2 emissions are made. By bringing together different energy sources, the optional priority circuit for renewable energies is only one of many intelligent innovations. System controller Merlin combines heating and cooling as well as a variety of other functions in one and the same unit. Room temperature controllers The simple user guidance by plain-text display means that heat regulation weather-dependent or room temperaturedependent is suited to individual needs. Energy saving through modulating operation and high temperature accuracy are the central arguments for the Lago, Como and Merlin series. Boiler cascade controllers When modernizing existing large boiler systems, the installation of boiler cascades is often a cost-effective solution. A modulating boiler cascade and the complete control of the heating system with hot-water generation and mixer circuits are decisive benefits of a sophisticated system with Merlin. Heat pump controllers The importance of geothermal energy as a heat source is growing. It is especially attractive due to its unlimited availability and reduced ecological footprint. The heat pump controller Merlin WP can be easily integrated into existing heating systems and combined with conventional heat generators to respond to peak loads. Differential temperature controllers The solar controllers Lago SD have been developed for use with flat and tubular collectors. They are suitable for use in combination with other heat generators, such as gas condensing boilers and solid fuel boilers, and the widest range of storage systems. Pre-configured example systems make programming and operation extremely convenient. Solar system control Heating system The Comfort Controls controller range offers an outstanding variety.
Energy management with a system Edition 10.12 7 Our systems pass every trial by fire! Made-to-measure electronics for any application CES production COMBUSTION TECHNOLOGY Control module for atmospheric gas appliances With DICOM for atmospheric gas appliances, you can bet on quick and accurate output control, in particular for hot-water generation. Even after years of use and with fluctuating electricity supply, the unit works consistently reliably. In addition, no mechanical adjustment of the gas combination control is required Control system for floor standing gas and oil boilers VARICOM increases your flexibility. Its benefits at a glance: the same controller, the same mode of operation, even with different burner systems; cost-efficient design of the heater, e.g. through fewer cables; logistical advantages thanks to fewer different components. Fully electronic combustion control system for premixing burners The fully electronic combustion system SCOT consists of an electronic boiler control, a gas valve and a gas-and-air mixer with an integrated combustion air fan. Its market success a new system is commissioned every 3 minutes is a result of the extensive benefits. Cost advantages during production: no Venturi, no impulse line, automatic final test bench, no adjustment required.
