When it comes to your boiler, you may know that it is used to heat up your home or business and ensure that you don't freeze to death in the winter. But there are a lot of things that you probably don't know about your boiler, including all of its components. One of the most critical components of your boiler is the combustion control system. But what is the combustion control system and how does it work? This article will take a closer look at a few of the basics. Read on to learn more. 

What Does It Do?

Your boiler is usually the sole provider of hot water and hot air in your office space or residence, but how does it work exactly? One of the key jobs of a boiler is to be able to respond quickly to commands so that it gets the job done quickly and effectively, but a boiler can't do it on its own; it needs the help of other systems like the combustion control system. The combustion control system is responsible for regulating excess air, modulating the burner, watching the air and fuel cross-limiting, and managing the total amount of heat. 

Heat Management

If you were to go turn on your boiler without the help of a combustion control system, it would put your boiler at a larger risk of catching on fire. Because the combustion control system's main job is to regulate the heat and how much heat a boiler exerts, it helps your building or house get hot water and hot air that are warm enough but that also won't become a fire hazard. Without a regulation system like the combustion control system, the boiler wouldn't know how much hot air and hot water to produce and when to stop which can be very hazardous. In other words, combustion control systems help boilers regulate heat and temperatures so that they don't turn into a fire risk or hazard later on down the line. 

Now that you know a little bit more about the inner workings of your boiler system, it may make you a little more conscious of your heating system every time you turn it on. If you ever have a problem with your combustion control system, make sure to contact a boiler repair technician in your area to come and assess the problem and get it fixed right away.
