MicroTherm is an energy saving computer for every commercial sized gas or oil fired boiler that maintains temperature and-cycles on and off. It's a maintenance free device that is designed to increase the efficiency of Heat Timers, thermostats and all other energy controls. The recipient of awards from the Department of Energy and Department of Defense. MicroTherm has been proven to reduce the fuel consumption, electrical usage and emissions of steam and hot water heating systems by 10% to 25% (or more) - without affecting building comfort.
MicroTherm saves fuel by functioning as the gatekeeper for the burner control circuit. When an ignition signal is detected, the microprocessor will either allow the "call" to pass through and fire up the boiler or else it opens the circuit and postpones the start of the on-cycle. All the decisions made by the computer, including the amount of time to delay an ignition, are based on an evaluation of three factors:
The Requirements of the Building - ascertained by tracking How long a burner is off before the call to ignite, and how long A burner remains on until demand is met.
The "Combustion Efficiency Factor" - a measure of the Efficiency of the heating unit, determined by a diagnostic Test that MicroTherm performs when it is installed.
The Residual Temperature of the Water or Stream - Monitored by a pulse-frequency thermal sensor.
The result of this patented process is a more efficient form of operation: the elimination of unnecessary cycling and a reduction of total burning time. In addition, since the projected life span of a heating system is directly related to the frequency of ignitions, a decrease in the number of cycles will extend a boiler's life proportionately.
There are thousands of successful MicroTherm installations throughout the world . . . churches, schools, hotels, nursing homes, Dept. of Defense, etc. (nearly 1,800 in the New York area alone). The cost is nominal and most qualified buyers recover their full expenditure in six to twelve months. Every purchase is also backed by a NO RISK PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE: If MicroTherm doesn't reduce the fuel consumption of a boiler/heater by at least ten percent within the first year, the purchaser is entitled to a full refund. If a unit breaks down or malfunctions in normal usage during the first five years, it is replaced free of charge.
