ACS (AERCO Control System)
This state-of-the-art plant management solution will enable customers with more than one boiler to maximize energy savings through the coordinated operation of up to 32 Benchmark, KC1000 or Modulex boilers.
Features and Benefits
Strongly recommended to maximize modular heating plant efficiency, AERCO Control System (ACS) offers remote access and control of multiple boiler installations and is compatible with Building Automation Systems via Modbus open protocol or conventional analog systems. AERCO also offers a Communications Gateway to support BACnet, Lonworks and N2 system integration.
The ACS is specially designed to leverage the operating efficiency of condensing, gas-fired boilers capable of unmatched 20:1 turndown. It comes equipped with a Header Temperature Sensor and offers customers sequential or parallel application, constant or remote set point operation and provides 100% control of auxiliary boiler equipment while equalizing unit runtime in the boiler plant.
Three domestic hot water heating modes allow application flexibility:
- Header Temperature Boost – Benchmark, KC1000 and Modulex boiler applications
- Domestic Hot Water (DHW) Priority – Benchmark and KC1000 boiler applications
- DHW priority + building priority (swing boiler) – Benchmark and KC1000 boiler applications
- BAS-equipped customers can be notified of faults throughout the boiler plant and can remotely examine up to 35 aspects of each boilers operation through a single connection point.
