The Optiburner's Dynamic Burner Management Unit (DBMU) is an advanced control system designed to optimise the efficiency of industrial boilers. It works by altering the boiler’s firing pattern, creating fewer but slightly longer burn periods. This reduces the overall time the boiler is burning, leading to significant fuel savings—typically between 15% and 30%—without compromising the building’s heating performance.
How much can I expect to save on my fuel bills with Optiburner?
On average, businesses that install Optiburner see a reduction in heating fuel consumption of 15% to 30%. The exact savings depend on factors such as boiler size, usage patterns, and building insulation. Most users experience a return on investment within 3 to 18 months.
Will installing the Optiburner affect the performance or lifespan of my boiler?
No, installing the Optiburner will not negatively impact your boiler’s performance or lifespan. In fact, by optimising the burn cycles, the DBMU can help extend the life of your boiler by reducing unnecessary wear and tear. The unit is designed to work seamlessly with your existing system, ensuring consistent heating while lowering fuel consumption.
Is the Optiburner installation disruptive, and how long does it take?
The installation of the Optiburner is quick and minimally disruptive. Our qualified technicians can typically complete the retrofit in a few hours, and only require access to the boiler room. Most installations are done with little to no impact on your daily operations.
What industries are best suited for Optiburner?
Optiburner is ideal for industries that rely heavily on heating systems, such as education, healthcare, hospitality, and sports and leisure facilities. It is especially beneficial in environments with high heating demands, where significant fuel savings and reduced carbon emissions can be achieved.
Is the Optiburner certified, and how can I verify its savings?
Yes, Optiburner is the only boiler optimiser certified by the Building Research Establishment (BRE). Additionally, each Optiburner comes with a unique feature that allows you to download a Savings Report. This report provides real-time data on the fuel savings achieved, eliminating the need for complex and time-consuming ‘through the meter’ tests.
