The boiler controls
ensure a high degree of
automation and deliver
relevant operating data
to MEC Optimize.
option, it is possible to send notifications for defined
cases directly to the operator’s mobile phone via the
remote connection MEC Remote.
Another important optimisation aspect is the maximi-
sation of the boiler lifetime. The most important
influence factors here are the water characteristics
and the operating mode – both are often neglected in
practice. MEC Optimize not only serves as a digital
boiler logbook but interprets the entered values and
helps the operator to identify and correct conditions
that promote corrosion or are even safety-critical. In
addition, the operating mode is analysed for incorrect
start-up, inefficient control of multi-boiler systems
and too frequent burner cycles. MEC Optimize also
helps to avoid production losses due to interrupted
process heat: The permissible loads and switching
cycles are stored for all important components. Based
on the operating mode, the efficiency assistant
determines the state of the component, predicts the
probable remaining lifetime and supports in mainte-
nance planning.
The other plant equipment from Bosch for feed water
deaeration, heat recovery and automation rounds off
the overall system and ensures low energy consumption.
The steam boiler system was realised by Karl Lausser
from Pilgramsberg, Germany – without interrupting
the steam supply. In coordination with the dairy’s
operating processes, the boilers were put into opera-
tion by Bosch Industrial Service on a staggered basis.
Efficiency and availability in view: MEC Optimize
stores, evaluates and visualises the data of all linked
system components.
