Autoflame Burner Controls

Autoflame burner controls have become a trusted standard for commercial and industrial boiler rooms across the country. Tri-Tech Sales supplies Autoflame combustion control systems throughout the US. Our team collaborates closely with facility managers, engineers, and mechanical contractors to deliver Autoflame burner control equipment, detailed technical submittals, accurate quotes, and comprehensive project support.

What is Autoflame?

Autoflame Engineering has developed boiler and burner management technology for more than 50 years. Its intelligent burner control systems provide precise combustion control, real-time monitoring, and detailed operating data for steam and water boilers, hot water boiler applications, and industrial burners. Autoflame systems combine burner management, fuel-air control, flame safeguard functions, and boiler emissions monitoring into a single integrated platform. The built-in touch screen and multi touch screen interface provide user-friendly operation, while integration with local PC and BMS system allows remote monitoring and data management. Additional modules and added modules enable the system to manage virtually all boilerhouse functions, even in unmanned boilerhouses, enhancing security and reliability. Whether using natural gas, oil, or multiple fuels, Autoflame offers a linkageless servomotor system that reduces fuel usage and significantly reduces emissions.

Key Features of Autoflame Systems

Micro-Modulating Control

Precisely manages the fuel-to-air ratio throughout the burner’s firing range, helping reduce fuel consumption compared with traditional mechanical linkage systems.

O₂ Trim Systems

Continuously monitors oxygen levels in the flue gas and adjusts combustion to maintain efficient operation as conditions change.

Remote Monitoring

Connects boiler room data to building management systems and compatible remote monitoring platforms.

Automatic Blowdown and Water Level Controls

Helps automate critical boiler functions and maintain consistent operation.

Multiple-Fuel Capability

Supports applications that operate with multiple fuel sources and require dependable fuel changeover.

Steam Flow Metering and Draft Control

Provides additional system data and control to improve overall boiler room performance.

Exhaust Gas Analysis

Measures combustion and emissions data, including O₂, CO₂, CO, NO, NO₂, and SO₂. When paired with compatible Autoflame controls, the system can use this information to optimize combustion.

Data Monitoring

Touchscreen interfaces display live operating conditions, historical performance information, alarms, and commissioning data.

Data Transfer Interface

Serves as a communication gateway between Autoflame controllers, sensors, analyzers, and building management systems. Operating information can be stored, reviewed, and exported for further analysis.

Integrated Controls

Autoflame systems can combine flame safeguard, valve proving, variable-speed drive control, scheduling, sequencing, and other boiler room functions within one control platform.

Autoflame Burner Retrofits

Autoflame controls can be installed on many existing boiler and burner systems, making them a strong option for facilities that want better efficiency and control without replacing the entire boiler. A retrofit can replace worn mechanical linkages with precise servo-driven fuel and air control using the Autoflame MM controller. Depending on the system, the upgrade may also add O₂ trim, variable-speed fan control, an automated flame safeguard, exhaust gas analysis with trim displaying, touchscreen monitoring, and remote data access. With its cutting edge technology, Autoflame offers comprehensive control that improves combustion efficiency and reduces emissions.

How Autoflame Can Reduce Operating Costs

Autoflame systems are designed to improve combustion efficiency while reducing unnecessary fuel use and emissions through advanced technology and precise control.

Actual savings depend on boiler size, operating hours, load profile, current control condition, fuel costs, and the scope of the upgrade. With Autoflame, facilities gain precise control and valuable store information for smarter boiler management.

01

Lower Fuel Consumption

Precise fuel-air control helps reduce the excess air and combustion drift commonly associated with mechanical linkage systems, leading to significant fuel savings.

02

Reduced Emissions

Improved combustion control can help facilities lower carbon emissions and maintain more consistent burner performance, supporting environmental compliance with real-time cems data monitoring.

03

Improved Equipment Performance

Stable combustion reduces unnecessary cycling, uneven firing, and wear on boiler and burner components, enhancing overall equipment reliability.

04

Better Operating Data

The integrated system lets users access real-time and historical data, including emissions and combustion metrics, helping facility teams identify performance problems and make informed maintenance decisions.

05

On Site Monitoring and Control

Autoflame solutions provide comprehensive control and monitoring at one location, simplifying boiler room operations and enabling seamless integration with building management systems.

Frequently Asked Questions About Autoflame

What makes Autoflame different from other burner control systems?

Autoflame combines advanced burner management, micro-modulating combustion control, O₂ trim systems, flame safeguard functions, emissions monitoring, and detailed operating data within one integrated combustion control platform.

Can Autoflame work with an existing boiler?

Yes. Autoflame systems can be applied to most existing firetube and watertube boilers. Facilities can watch videos on the Autoflame website and YouTube channel to learn more about settings and system features.

Can Autoflame replace mechanical burner linkages?

Yes. Autoflame linkageless controls use independent electronic servos to position the fuel and air devices. This provides greater precision, repeatability, and reliability.

How often should Autoflame controls be serviced?

The burner and combustion system should be inspected and tested regularly. Seasonal combustion checks are recommended because changes in ambient air temperature and density can affect burner performance and emissions compliance.

What is the Autoflame Mini MK9?

The Mini MK9 is an Autoflame burner management and combustion control platform designed to integrate flame safeguard, fuel-air positioning, real-time flame monitoring, emissions monitoring, sequencing, and other boiler room functions. It features a simple touchscreen interface, solid-state UV sensor, and supports seamless integration with building management systems. The Autoflame MM boiler controllers and micro modulating systems enable precise control of virtually all boiler processes, including commercial steam and steam generators, ensuring optimised performance and fuel savings.

How quickly can Autoflame equipment pay for itself?

The return on investment depends on factors such as boiler size, operating hours, existing linkage condition, fuel type, and the scope of the retrofit. Facilities with large boilers, long run times, and outdated controls typically see the strongest fuel savings, emissions reductions, and cost benefits.

Does Autoflame help facilities comply with environmental regulations?

Yes. With features like an exhaust gas analyser and standalone independent continuous monitor, Autoflame systems help manufacturing plants and industrial and commercial sites comply with environmental regulations by monitoring flue emissions effectively.
